ENERSYS LAUNCHES HAWKER® ARMASAFE™ iON-X BATTERIES FOR MILITARY VEHICLE APPLICATIONS

EnerSys is making a key addition to its Hawker battery portfolio with the launch of Hawker ARMASAFE iON-X 24-volt batteries. Featuring rechargeable lithium-ion technology in two models – 105 Ah and 162 Ah – these 6T size batteries are designed for both high-current vehicle starting applications and the high energy storage power needs of onboard electronics and accessories.

“Modern military vehicles have become mobile command centers outfitted with a range of mission-critical, power-hungry electronics and systems,” said Mark Matthews, Chief Technology Officer and President Specialty Global at EnerSys. “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 have been relying on for decades to help minimize battery downtime and cut operating costs.
