The MBH is used to house battery packs required to power memory logging tools. Several models are available for different battery sizes, allowing batteries to be selected to match operational requirements in the most economical way. While Lithium batteries are normally used, Manganese Dioxide alkaline cells can be used up to 100ºC.
Description
The MBH is designed to take either Sondex or Panex style battery packs. The standard Sondex pack of 5 lithium “C” cells is used in a holder with a one piece housing and top-sub. However the holder for alkaline cells uses an alternate top-sub and housing which allows longer packs to be used (e.g. 10 x “C”). The top-sub acts as the connection to the slickline cable and can be supplied with various fishing neck profiles. The bottom-sub screws directly into a tool memory section, usually creating time “zero” as the tool powers up. There is a protective pressure isolation barrier between the battery pack and the memory tool below.

- Standard connection is 5/8 sucker rod pin.
- Changeable top sub fishing neck profile.
