Armoloq Manpack Battery System 1280
Offers the field operator the option to have a compact and fully contained battery solution for your HF/VHF/UHF/GMRS radio. The battery cover is designed to allow direct mounting of a UB1280 sized battery to your TPA with the battery compartment providing protection for the battery, as well as a stable platform for orienting the radio in an upright position.
*All components are manufactured in the US, with some global materials
*Remember to disconnect the battery, when not in use, to prevent premature draining of the battery. This system does not incorporate an on/off switch at this time.
*TPA, radios and other components not listed below are sold separately.
*You will need an Anderson Power Pole connection on the power cable of your radio or a jumper with your radio's specific power connection and Anderson Power Poles on the battery side.
*None of the packages listed below include a battery.
