The Digital Power Magazine is much more than just a lithium energy cell power supply system for the X26 ECD.
In addition to the lithium energy cells that power the X26 ECD, the DPM also contains an onboard memory chip
that maintains a record of the remaining power level in the battery. The DPM memory also contains specific
information of energy cell performance and life expectancy for the energy cell pack at various temperatures
and for various loads.
The X26 ECD keeps track of how much the various features of the weapon are affecting the energy cell life
and updates the memory in the DPM accordingly. The battery percentage indicated is a calculated value and
not a direct reading of the battery voltage. Do not store the DPM anywhere that the gold contacts on the top
of the DPM may touch metal objects. If you cause an electrical short between these contacts, it will drain the
