Portable Power System targets Remote Field Applications

August 03, 2014 by Jeff Shepard

A rugged, lightweight, 12V/100Ah portable power system has been introduced by Southwest Electronic Energy Group (SWE). POW-R Tote®, originally employed by law enforcement for quiet electrical energy during long stakeouts, is now available to everyone from police agencies to first responders to military, fire/rescue operations and many more field applications. About the size of a lunchbox, and weighing only 23lbs, the eco-friendly and reliable POW-R Tote uses Lithium-Ion battery technology to deliver 2X longer run time and 2X more power at half the weight when compared to a typical 12V lead-acid battery commonly used in similar applications.

Features of the new power system include: High Capacity: 100Ah; Versatile: 12V vehicle plug, Anderson SB50 Powerclaw and custom connectors configured-to-order. Lightweight: Only 23lbs; Compact: 11.8" x 9.8" x 7.7"; Heavy duty: water tight storm case; Eco-friendly. High capacity and compact-convenient energy for military, law enforcement, fire/rescue field operations is now available to everyone.

POW-R Tote® is housed in a virtually indestructible, heavy-duty, watertight storm case to handle harsh environments. Two power connectors come standard: An automobile 12V auxiliary outlet (car plug) powers and recharges cells phones, notebook computers, tablets and other low power devices. An Anderson SB50 Powerclaw® connector is also provided for higher power gear like surveillance, drugs test kits and power tools. SWE will configure-to-order other connectors and energy capacities to meet customers unique needs. Recharging POW-R Tote is easy with an external 115V/240Vac adapter that plugs into any outlet.
