Frequently Asked Questions
Will this battery work with my recloser control?
A: Yes, as long as your control is a Cooper Power Systems (McGraw Edison) Form 3 or Form 3A recloser. Check the nameplate inside your control cabinet and compare it against the original battery's part number — this pack cross-references MEA-450, MEA-460, KA450ME2S, and N20023185.
Why are there so many different part numbers for this same battery?
A: Cooper Power and McGraw Edison have used several part numbers for this battery pack over the years, along with slight labeling changes between manufacturers. MEA-450, MEA-460, KA450ME2S, and N20023185 all refer to the same 24V, 20-cell NiCad pack used in Form 3 and Form 3A controls.
How do I install this battery in my recloser control?
A: It connects using the same wire-lead connector setup as the original battery, so no rewiring or reprogramming is required. Because this is utility control equipment, installation should be handled by a qualified technician familiar with your recloser's control cabinet.
What type of connector does this battery use?
A: This pack comes with wire leads for a direct connection, matching the factory setup used in Form 3 and Form 3A control cabinets.
How do I know when it's time to replace my recloser battery?
A: Most utility field service programs recommend periodically testing recloser control batteries and replacing them based on test results, age, and overall condition — rather than waiting for a failure during an outage.
