By GlobalData”We are pleased to partner with them to deliver an exciting new solution for forward operating base power.”
Flux Power’s acting CEO, Ron Dutt, said the company sees tremendous opportunity for lithium-based power storage to create new products and capabilities across a range of applications.
”Providing our lithium packs to HDT Global to meet the performance requirements of the military is both an honor and an exciting new avenue of opportunity for Flux,” Dutt said.
The power pack’s charge / discharge rate, longer average cycle time, as well as absence of noise emission make them ideal for remote military operations in extreme conditions.
HDT’s self-sustaining energy system uses solar panels to charge the power packs, significantly lowering the military’s dependence on generators.
Until now, the US military has relied on generators and costly and hazardous long-distance fuel deliveries to address their in-field power requirements.
