Biowave Cell Density Meter CO8000 Battery Replacement 3.6 Volt NiMh

Description

Biowave / WPA CO8000 Battery Replacement (MGH28186) – 3.6V NiMH

If your BioWave (WPA) CO8000 Cell Density Meter won’t hold a charge or struggles in battery mode, this replacement battery pack restores portable operation. The CO8000 is a compact instrument dedicated to OD600 cell density measurements—commonly used for monitoring growth in suspensions such as E. coli and yeast—and it’s often moved to the incubator area or used where cultures are handled.

Compatible Instrument

• BioWave / WPA CO8000 Cell Density Meter (portable OD600 cell density meter)

Battery Type

• Voltage: 3.6V
• Chemistry: Rechargeable NiMH
• Size:  1.73″ Long x 0.57″ Wide x  1.98″ High
• 2500 Mah Longer Run Time NiMh Rechargeable
• Reference: MGH28186 C & T Harnesses Part No.

Why Replace the Battery?

• Meter won’t power on reliably in battery mode
• Charge doesn’t last like it used to
• Portable use is limited (bench-only)

Lab-Friendly Use Case

The CO8000 is designed for measuring optical density at 600nm (OD600) for cell suspensions and can be used in incubation cabinets or under anaerobic conditions—so having a healthy battery helps keep the instrument truly portable.

Notes

• Match your original pack’s connector and fitment before ordering (there can be revisions).
• Follow your instrument’s service/safety guidance when installing internal components.

FAQ – BioWave / WPA CO8000 Battery (MGH28186)

What instrument is this battery used in?

This battery is used as a replacement for the BioWave (WPA) CO8000 Cell Density Meter.

What does the CO8000 measure?

The CO8000 is dedicated to measuring cell density in suspension at 600nm (OD600), commonly used for monitoring growth in organisms like E. coli and yeast.

How long does a full recharge take?

A full recharge is typically done overnight (about 12 hours) when using the power adapter/charger.

How long can the battery last between charges?

With normal use, the instrument’s internal rechargeable battery is described as lasting about a month when fully charged.

Will replacing the battery affect readings or calibration?

No—battery replacement restores power/portability. Your OD600 technique (blank/reference, cuvette cleanliness, and sample handling) is what affects readings.

Any ordering tips?

Please confirm your original pack’s connector, dimensions, and labeling before ordering, since internal pack variants can exist across revisions.

Used in: BioWave / WPA CO8000 Cell Density Meter (portable OD600 cell density meter).
Typical lab use: measuring cell density/growth rates in cell suspensions (commonly E. coli and yeast) and taking readings near incubators or in controlled environments.
