Power systems innovator Southwest Electronic Energy (SWE), has expanded their POW-R TOTE line to include a variety of Solar Charger options. In addition to the AC plug-in DC Charger, POW-R TOTE can be outfitted with a 5W-124W Solar Charger thus enabling the unit to be fully remote for indefinite periods of time. In addition, POW-R TOTE is now available in both 99Ah and 117Ah capacities allowing the user two options based on their power requirements. POW-R TOTE, originally employed by U.S. Marshals for quiet & efficient electrical energy, is available to everyone from military, emergency managers, marine, law enforcement agencies to fire/rescue operations and many more field applications. About the size of a lunchbox, and weighing only 23lbs, POW-R TOTE uses reliable, powerful lithium-ion battery technology to deliver 2X longer run time and 2X more power at ½ the weight when compared to a typical 12V lead acid battery commonly used in similar applications.
Housed in a Heavy Duty Storm Case and Equipped with Low and High Power Connectors
POW-R TOTE is virtually indestructible in a watertight storm case which can 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, signal generators, lights and power tools. SWE will configure-to-order other connectors and energy capacities to meet customer’s unique needs. Recharging POW-R TOTE is easy with an optional external AC plug-in DC charger that plugs into any outlet or a custom or with a Solar charger which is available in increments from 5W to 124W. POW-R TOTE also comes standard with SWE’s integrated intelligent battery management system, POW-R BMS, which regulates the health & safety of the battery. A convenient voltmeter is also built into POW-R TOTE which indicates the power remaining in the battery at all times.
The Benefits of POW-R Tote Lithium-Ion Battery Power
Lithium-Ion is the fastest growing type of battery because of its high energy density (weight-to-size ratio). POW-R TOTE lithium-ion delivers 2X longer run time and 2X more power at ½ the weight compared to a standard car battery. Reliable, safe, and clean with very low maintenance, lithium-ion is used in a broad spectrum of applications from land and underwater vehicles to personal items such as laptops and cell phones.
