The Energy SharePack is a revolutionary new portable lithium ion device capable of flexible energy storage, power management, and energy harvesting.

Panacis Inc. is pleased to announce the launch of a revolutionary new product called the Energy SharePack™, which provides a complete power solution for the dismounted warfighter in a single, smart lithium ion device using universal, bi-directional power ports.

For all militaries, reducing the burden on the dismounted warfighter and providing sufficient energy to power all the warfighter’s devices are top priorities for fighting effectiveness, ergonomics, and logistics reasons. SharePack is Panacis’ solution to addressing all these elements.

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).

Panacis Inc., a global leader in advanced lithium ion battery design and manufacture, and Solace Power, a leading innovator in the delivery of wireless power, today announced they were working together to reduce and eventually eliminate power cables for soldier-worn equipment.

The companies are working together to demonstrate wireless power transmission and charging capabilities. The demo will show a Panacis battery with integrated Wireless Power Technology from Solace Power, resulting in the first wirelessly rechargeable battery for soldier systems and other military applications, eliminating the need for cables and connectors.

“The average soldier will carry 16 to 20 pounds of batteries and related cables on a 72-hour deployment,” stated Steve Carkner, Founder and Chief Technology Officer of Panacis. “Our goal is to use Solace Power’s technology to reduce both the weight burden and the tangle of wiring that connects equipment to our batteries.”

Neil Chaulk, VP Business Development for Solace Power stated that, “Wireless power enables the delivery of more utility to the user, including soldiers in the field. When combined with the advanced lithium ion battery technology developed by Panacis, we have an extremely flexible tool in terms of energy storage and ease of access. Together we can deliver a fantastic value proposition that truly will reduce the soldier burden.”

Panacis will host technology from Solace Power at the CANSEC trade show, 29 and 30 May in Ottawa. Visit Panacis and representatives from Solace Power at the Panacis Booth #927 to find out more about wireless power.

Founded in 2002, Canadian firm Panacis specializes in lithium ion batteries. They’ve just received ISO 9001:2008 certification.

“Our customers count on the guaranteed performance and reliability of our batteries,” said Steve Carkner, Founder and Chief Technology Officer. “Having certified processes in place minimizes risk and helps ensure that services and processes will not only maintain their proven levels of excellence but also continue to improve over the long term.”

ISO 9001:2008 is recognized by organizations worldwide as a quality management standard. Panacis’ management system has been independently audited and confirmed to be in conformity with this standard. The certification covers all processes related to the design, development, manufacture, and delivery of lithium ion battery products and services at Panacis’ headquarters in Ottawa, Ontario.
