Helping solve the military’s high-pain mobile power crisis.

The U.S. military relies on more than 500 mobile battery-dependent devices that often require soldiers to carry 20 to 35 pounds of batteries on a mission. First responders, such as policemen and firemen, face the same life-threatening and mission-critical challenges.

The Canadian Ministry of National Defense recently estimated that NATO forces are spending $57,000 per soldier per year in Iraq and Afghanistan for batteries alone. 75% of the capacity of those batteries tends to be wasted as soldiers trade out partially used batteries after every patrol.

M2E’s extended, grid-free operational life and lower weight will improve the soldier’s load factor and provide mission extension opportunities. M2E has the potential to reduce the logistics burden as well.

Examples of battery-powered electronics routinely used in the field include:

» Radios

» Night vision equipment for drivers, aviation and armored vehicle crewmen

» Weapon scopes

» Lasers

» Illumination

» Mine detectors

» Sensors

» GPS

» Meteorological systems
