The EXPLORER battery
At the heart of the Explorer Battery Generator is,
of course, the battery itself. Unlocking the quick-
release clasp beneath the pack reveals the
powerful high-performance sealed rechargeable
battery that provides the Explorer with it’s
impressive performance.
Charge the way you want to!
The user adjustable charge control feature
means you can balance your usage
requirements with recycling performance and
battery life.
Charge and Charge Again!
The high-performance battery unit can be
charged time after time either within the pack or
standalone, giving consistent and reliable
performance throughout it’s natural life.
Charge while in use!
In situations where there is mains power
available, there is no need to run your battery
down, simply plug in the universal mains charger
to charge the Explorer as you are using it.
Charge out of the box!
In photography, time is money! You don’t have
time to wait for batteries to charge so, the
Explorer universal mains charger is capable of
being plugged directly into the battery. This
means you can charge a second battery while
using the Explorer pack saving time and, of
course, money!
Charge on the move!
The inconvenience of an uncharged battery out
on location is easily eliminated thanks to the
Explorer Car Charger.
