Power Systems
The Barrett PRC-2090 transceiver uses a removable 10Ah Lithium Ion battery
cartridge. This cartridge contains the battery and the battery management system.
It has a connector that is used for charging and operating the PRC-2090 when
connected to the PRC-2090 or charging the battery when not connected to the
PRC-2090.
A DC input between 20VDC and 30VDC is required, allowing operation and
charging from 24V vehicle sources, 24V solar panels and 24V hand crank
generators. A separate Universal AC/DC input power adaptor is available to charge
and operate the manpack when mains voltages are available between 100-254
VAC or DC voltage between 11-18VDC are available from sources such as 12V
vehicles sources.
With the battery cartridge fitted the transceiver can be operated and the battery
cartridge charged when a DC input of between 20 VDC and 30 VDC is supplied to
the unit.
