II. Voltage structure

BA-5390/U adopts a dual-channel output structure and can supply power simultaneously or independently:

  • 15v mode: 5 strings 2 and (5S2P), output 15V

  • 30v mode: 10 strings and 1 (10S1P), output 30V

users can switch the output voltage according to equipment requirements.


III. Typical application equipment

  • SINCGARS single-Soldier Radio

  • Falcon II / PRC-117 / PRC-150 series communication machine

  • night Vision System, reconnaissance instrument, laser rangefinder

  • unmanned ground reconnaissance equipment (UGV)

  • Navigational Instruments and portable power module


IV. Localization alternative direction (rechargeable version)

to implement domestic substitution and recycling, the following scheme design can be adopted:

benchmarking Model suggestions on localization models cell System nominal capacity output voltage features
BA-5390/U BB-390B/U (rechargeable version) lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO) or ternary system 13-15Ah 14.4V / 28.8V Rechargeable ≥ 500 times, with BMS protection function

the 8s LiFePO sensor (25.6V) structure can be used to realize 15V / 30V dual output through DC-DC module, supporting intelligent management and status display.
