I'd like to add to what the author has already stated about our zinc air battery line. The bottom-line up front is our Zinc air batteries are smaller, and lighter batteries than the 5590's everyone is carrying around to power their Harris and MBITR radio's. Our zinc air battery has ZERO Hazmat in it. Now that may not be a big deal to the operator, but to any SIG-O's and NCO's out their - that's music to their ears. No stickers, wasted man-hours spent preparing to ship the batteries and then dealing with the loadmaster, etc. Oh ya, did I mention you can shoot our battery and they keep giving off a charge? Try that with your MBITR, Harris or 5590 Battery! If you are interested, I can send you all the SPECS. Just shoot me out an email at ken@bhigear.com. You can also find the batteries on our website at http://www.bhigear.com/zinc-air-batteries.aspx . These have been made with CECOMs input, they have NSN numbers and are ready to enter the "sandbox" right now. Don't let battery power be a limiting factor on your operations. One 8140 will take you outside the wire for 7 days. Why use anything else? Of course if you have custom applications or special projects we are ready to assist you as well, just shoot me an email. Thanks for your time - Ken@bhigear.com Hey all,
