About this replacement
IMET MICRON — 6V Ni-MH Replacement Battery (BE7000)
This 6V, 1200mAh Ni-MH battery replaces the original pack in the IMET MICRON wireless crane remote control. It fits the MICRON transmitter used for overhead crane and industrial hoist operation. OEM part numbers BE7000, AS022, and AS035 all cross-reference this pack.
- MICRON transmitter fit: The MICRON platform runs a 6V Ni-MH cell block at a fixed voltage rail. The connector orientation, cell count, and BMS handshake are matched to the original IMET transmitter housing — no modification needed to seat the pack.
- Bench tested on actual hardware: We cycled this battery through transmitter power-on, solenoid activation sequences, and repeated E-stop triggers. The BMS held without dropout across full discharge cycles, and voltage recovery after load spikes stayed within MICRON operating range.
- Monthly charge during idle periods: Crane remotes often sit unused for weeks between jobs. Ni-MH cells self-discharge at roughly 20–30% per month — if the pack drops too low, the transmitter will not power on even with fresh charge attempts. Run a full charge cycle once a month during any idle period.
Solenoid activation causing power dropout on a freshly installed battery
When the MICRON remote triggers a crane solenoid or relay, the inrush current spike is brief but sharp. A degraded or partially discharged Ni-MH pack can sag below the transmitter's minimum operating voltage at that exact moment, cutting power mid-command. This looks like a faulty remote but is actually a voltage-supply issue. Always charge the replacement pack to full before the first operational use — do not assume a new-out-of-box cell is at working voltage.
MICRON remote showing low-battery warning immediately after cell swap
Ni-MH cells ship at storage voltage — typically 1.0–1.1V per cell, which puts a 6V pack at roughly 5.0–5.5V total. The MICRON transmitter reads this as a low or critically low state and flags the warning straight away. This is not a faulty battery. Connect the pack to the IMET charger and run a full charge cycle until the charger confirms complete. Voltage should sit at or above 7.2V at charge termination before the pack goes back into the remote.
