"Our Hawker® ARMASAFE™ iON-X batteries are engineered to provide these vehicles with a robust energy storage solution to support these systems and facilitate mission success. Complementing our field-proven Hawker® AGM TPPL battery solutions, these high-power lithium-ion batteries are equipped to power today's most energy-intensive vehicle applications and to meet the rising energy demands of tomorrow's military."
Lightweight and energy-dense, these 6TLI 24-volt batteries benefit from over 20 years of lithium-ion development and manufacturing expertise delivered by our Bren-Tronics LLC business segment. These 6TLI batteries offer long cycle life for many military applications, including tactical/combat vehicles, silent watch operations, robotics, unmanned vehicles and weapon systems.
Hawker® ARMASAFE™ iON-X batteries meet MIL-PRF-32565C requirements and are backed by the same exceptional Hawker® service, support and training that the US Government and Military has been relying on for decades to help minimise battery downtime and cut operating costs.
