Product Spotlight: Options for Soldier Worn Batteries

At Bren-Tronics, we strive to keep up with industry trends to best power the equipment that our nation’s Warfighters rely on. New technology almost always requires greater power needs and increased energy demand, as well as more compact power solutions. One of the recent demands has been for wearable battery technology, powerful solutions in relatively lightweight and compact packages that soldiers can safely carry and wear. 

In order to modernize our nation’s Warfighters, Bren-Tronics has developed several batteries and kits that are wearable and reliable. The three products highlighted in this article are two different types of soldier worn batteries that allow our Warfighters to maintain a tactical advantage. In addition, we have also created dedicated charging solutions for each of these batteries, as well as other useful accessories.

Considerations for Choosing a Universal Battery Charger

Universal battery chargers are becoming more important, as the number of different electronic devices being used increases throughout everything from everyday life to critical applications such as Defense and Aerospace. There are many things to consider when choosing the right universal charger, and to protect your devices and maintain their battery life, finding the right charger is important. 

What ‘universal’ means in the context of charging

Universal is somewhat of a misleading term for a battery charger. No charger is truly ‘universal’. Different batteries, especially for different devices, often have unique chemistries or voltages that need to be kept in mind. If a charger is not compatible with a battery’s chemistry, it could damage th

Conformal Wearable Battery Technology

One of the recent advancements in power technology for military use is wearable batteries. Bren-Tronics is at the forefront of wearable battery technology, and we have our own patented design for the Conformal Wearable Battery (CWB). Today’s product spotlight is on the new Bren-Tronics BB-2525/U battery. 

The benefits of conformal wearable batteries

CWB technology is designed to conform to the shape and contour of the human body. These batteries allow for comfortable and efficient integration of the battery into wearable Warfighter equipment. They are also lightweight, made to be powerful and portable in an easy-to-carry package. 

When used in military applications, they give the Warfighter greater agility and mobility, reducing the overall quantity

Applications and Benefits of Portable Battery Chargers

Portable chargers have become increasingly more important and widespread over the past few decades, with a wide range of applications across industries. For the military and Defense markets, portable battery chargers provide easy access to a power source for vital communications technology and other equipment. 

The benefits of portable battery chargers

Having a portable power source can be absolutely vital for many applications. They have many benefits that any industry can take advantage of.

Lightweight and Compact

Portable battery chargers are designed to be lightweight and easy to carry. Some are very small and easy to pack away or store, while others come packs or features that make them simpler to handle and carry. Overall, quality portable chargers are powerful, but compact packages. 

Readily Available

Portable chargers give you a power source that is readily

The Benefits of Bulk Battery Chargers

Lately there has been a push for common battery charging systems for military use. As this article by AUSA explains, the Army uses a wide range of batteries for their systems, making a bulk, multi-battery charger invaluable. This need is why Bren-Tronics has created a product line of bulk battery chargers that can charge multiple battery types at the same time.

The Benefits of Bren-Tronics’ bulk battery chargers

Bren-Tronics engineers work with our customers to develop power solutions for all of their applications. One of the product lines that we have engineered are our bulk battery chargers. These chargers have many benefits besides simply charging multiple batteries at once that are great for military and defense applications. 

Bulk battery chargers streamline the charging process because of their capability to charge multiple batteries at one time. This also reduces the number of different single battery t

Celebrating 50 years of Innovation

This year, Bren-Tronics, Inc. celebrates 50 years of a rich history in innovation. From our founding in 1973 by Leo Brenna, all the way to the present day, we have grown into a leading supplier across the globe of reliable power solutions.

The early years

Bren-Tronics was founded in 1973 by Leo Brenna, a Vietnam-era veteran of the United States Army. Leo set out to produce batteries that would deliver reliable power to both military and industrial applications–places where failure wasn’t an option. He began by developing one-time use batteries, such as the BA-279 and BA-270, as well as the ‘lipstick’ battery used in survival beacons, which we still produce today. 

As the company continued to grow, Leo saw a need for rechargeable batteries for military radios, and shifted the focus from one-time use products to rechargeable nickel cadmium batteries in the 1980s. In the 1990s, our technology evolved
