Panacis will be exhibiting its Energy SharePack at the 2014 Maneuver Warfighting Conference located at Ft Benning, GA.
SharePack provides flexible energy storage, power management, and energy harvesting in a multi-port, 2 lb package that can easily be adapted to a wide range of mission scenarios:
– Store – it stores energy internally as a rechargeable battery.
– Deliver – it powers one or more devices at the same time.
– Harvest – it charges directly from many sources without the need for an intermediary device.
– Share – it combines energy automatically with other SharePacks to increase capacity and power output.
SharePack can take energy from anywhere; not a joule need be wasted.
SharePack’s multi-function capability improves “efficiency of energy use”, which means that the individual warfighter and the squad can carry less spares and use less cabling. Recharging can be performed directly from energy sources in the immediate environment, e.g. solar blankets, military vehicle power, DC generators, and even partially used batteries that would normally be discarded.
The flexibility of the SharePack means that users can manage their
own power needs and wear the device(s) where most comfortable.
SharePack comes in two form factors, which fit standard issue military pouch sizes to allow use of existing load carriage equipment. An LCD provides detailed information about the system such as state of charge, time to empty, and mode of operation (charging, discharging, scavenging).

Yes, yes, sounds good, but you’re teasing us.
What’s the actual performance, ie weight and capacity?
Looking at the pdf found in the link, I can find that the energy density is 150 to 250 Wh/kg, and the impressive figure of 70% capacity under normal load @-55°C. I’d need the weight of the Energy Sharepack, and more exact energy storage capability specs.
And, when and where can I buy one of these, and how much is (will) it (be)?
