Fowa NB-28 Battery for South NTS312 NTS332 NTS342 Station 1Li‑Ion

Description

Product Overview

The Fowa NB‑28 Battery is engineered specifically for the South NTS312, NTS332, and NTS342 total station series. It houses a single high‑capacity lithium‑ion cell that delivers stable voltage throughout the entire surveying operation, eliminating the common voltage drop issues that can interrupt data collection. The battery’s internal circuitry includes built‑in protection against over‑charge, over‑discharge, and short‑circuit events, ensuring both user safety and longevity of the power source.

Manufactured with precision‑molded polymer housing, the battery resists impact, moisture, and temperature extremes commonly encountered on construction sites, in civil engineering projects, and in geodetic surveys. Its compact dimensions match the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) specifications, allowing a direct swap without any modifications to the instrument. The NB‑28’s 1‑cell design simplifies maintenance, as technicians can replace the unit quickly, reducing instrument downtime and keeping projects on schedule.

Usage

Designed for professional surveyors, construction engineers, and GIS specialists, this battery powers the total station during long field sessions that may extend beyond a full workday. Whether you are performing topographic mapping, stakeout work, or as‑built documentation, the NB‑28 provides consistent power output that supports high‑precision angle and distance measurements without interruption.

The battery excels in harsh environments—whether it is a hot desert site, a cold mountainous region, or a rainy urban setting. Its sealed construction prevents dust and water ingress, while the internal temperature management system maintains optimal operating conditions for the lithium‑ion chemistry. Users can confidently rely on the NB‑28 for remote locations where access to power sources is limited, as the extended runtime reduces the need for frequent battery changes.

FAQ

What is the expected lifespan of the NB‑28 Battery?

The NB‑28 is rated for up to 500 charge‑discharge cycles under normal operating conditions. In typical surveying use, this translates to several years of reliable service before performance noticeably declines, assuming proper storage and handling.

Can the battery be used in temperatures below freezing?

Yes. The battery’s sealed polymer case and internal temperature regulation allow operation down to -20°C (-4°F). However, for optimal performance, it is recommended to let the battery acclimate to the ambient temperature before powering the instrument.

Is the NB‑28 compatible with older total station models?

The NB‑28 is specifically designed for South NTS312, NTS332, and NTS342 models. While it may physically fit some older units, electrical specifications differ, and using it with unsupported models could lead to inaccurate readings or damage. Always verify compatibility with the instrument’s documentation.

How do I replace the battery safely?

First, power down the total station and remove the existing battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Insert the NB‑28, ensuring the contacts align correctly, and secure the battery compartment. After installation, perform a quick system check to confirm the instrument recognizes the new power source. If any issues arise, contact Fowa’s support team for guidance.
