No. BATTERY powered Wireless HART devices typically use standard, long-lasting high-energy batteries as part of a power module (battery pack) that is able to operate the device for extended PERIODS of time depending on the application and the device update rate.

Devices can use off-the-shelf batteries and power options as do other wireless sensor network devices. Each supplier will use what they determine to be the best power solution for their particular device.

Certain batteries are recommended by different suppliers in order to get the longest time of operation out of their device in HARSH operating conditions. The specification requires the device to report battery life PROVIDING EARLY notification of a need to change or replace the batteries long before a device runs out of power.
