Developed by Ace Electronics, this battery box was developed as a remote power source for OASYS IR Sensor customers who can’t access CR123As. Instead, it accepts 4 lithium or alkaline AA batteries and not only can be used in lieu of the 123s but will also extend the life of an OASYS optic by about 4.5 hours. Tye battery paxk mounts to a Mil Std 1913 rail and is waterproof.
Available through Unifire and other authorized dealers.

Many look at Goal Zero’s solar panels and think they are solely oriented toward the back country. The Flip line of chargers is something anyone who needs mobile power can use. I’m often traveling and my mobile device runs low. The Flip 10 will charge your phone one time. The Flip 20 will do it twice. And the new Flip 30 will charge it three times. This largest model also offers enough juice to recharge a tablet.
The Caravel Mk2 Charger from Lincad will charge batteries regardless of electrochemistry or manufacturer. It utilizes a series of pigtail cables to aupport the range of batteries and can even recharge mobile devices.
It detects the type of battery as soon as it is attached to the charger. It offers full diagnostics of that battery and will not only charge it, but also discharge a battery via a heat sink in order to bring it to half charge for storage.
Broadsword Spine is BAE Systems’ smart textile demonstrator. It offers both power and data connectivity through an etextile that is inserted as a fabric layer in a garment or piece of equipment. Early work in this field centered around cables inserted into webbing or run through a garment. But this new etextile from intelligent textiles limited is woven from conductive yarns.
As you can, see the etextile is extremely versatile and can be adapted to a wide variety of applications. It is not an outer fabric but rather sandwiched in between layers like an insulation material would be.
A wide variety of low profile ports can be integrated into the design to accommodate different cables. They are placed whe they are needed and sandwich the etextile in order to connect to the integrated power and data grid allowing ports to do double duty.
These ports also mean you can hot swap power sources/batteries as well as devices. Additionally, the elimination of cables lowers snag hazards and improves heat dissipation as the power load is carried over a wider surface area. For you guys who are now terrified you will be electrocuted, relax, the fabric is insulated just like a cable.
Lincad Power Management Systems has been around since the early 90s, specializing in batteries and chargers. In recent years there has been a proliferation of devices that charge via USB cable. Lincad created the USB power adapter as a simple means for Soldiers to charge/power their devices from commonly used radio batteries. This also also means that Soldiers can harvest as much power as possible from a better which is only partially charged and can’t be taken on a patrol.
This model is for the UK standard LIPS 10, 11 & 12 series interface. It offers two USB ports and will charge 5v, 1.5A Max per line.
Think of the BATTERYCLIP Battery Storage System as a magazine for your batteries. Just like a weapon magazine, a spring-loaded follower pushes fresh batteries to the top of the device where they are easily deployed by pushing out with your thumb. A “round count” indicator on the back of the BATTERYCLIP immediately shows how many are left. Looks like a great way to keep batteries organized.
Available for 9v, AA and CR123A. Check for color availability.
