First Rebreather Questions

Great discussion! Back on topic!

Do mCCR have any batteries? I am going to be going with the shearwater HUD, where does this get power from? I am assuming the o2 sensors need some voltage applied to them.

I understand with eCCR there is a battery pack to power solenoid. Curious if mCCR have battery at all.

hud and handset have batteries, sensors do not. The sensors generate an electrical current from oxygen and the hud and handset measure that current and convert into po2.
