The Leica GEB221 (part number 733270) is the factory-specified rechargeable lithium-ion battery for the Leica Piper 100 and Piper 200 pipe lasers. Rated at 7.4 volts and 4.4 amp-hours, this genuine Leica battery pack is engineered to deliver consistent, full-shift runtime without the voltage sag or premature shutdowns that come with third-party alternatives. When your pipe laser is the critical path on a sewer, storm drain, or conduit run, you need power you can trust — and the GEB221 is built to that standard.
Overview & Jobsite Applications
The GEB221 slots directly into the Leica Piper 100 and Piper 200 battery compartment with a positive lock and communicates with the instrument's battery management system for accurate charge-state readouts. Whether you're setting grade on a municipal sewer project, running conduit through a commercial structure, or dialing in drainage slopes on a residential development, this battery keeps your pipe laser operational through demanding conditions. Keeping a spare GEB221 on the truck means a dead battery never becomes a job-stopping problem.

Job Applications
Municipal Sewer & Storm Drain: Long-duration grade runs on municipal utility projects demand consistent power. The GEB221's 4.4Ah capacity supports extended setups without mid-job battery swaps interrupting your grade control workflow.
Commercial Conduit & MEP Rough-In: Electrical and mechanical contractors running conduit slopes through commercial buildings rely on the Piper's precision. A genuine battery ensures the instrument's self-leveling and grade readouts perform exactly as specified.
Site Development & Drainage: Civil contractors establishing drainage grades across large pads need uninterrupted operation. A spare GEB221 eliminates downtime and keeps the crew on schedule.
Trenchless & HDD Operations: Horizontal directional drilling and bore crews using the Piper for alignment need power reliability as much as accuracy. The GEB221 delivers both without compromise.
