Bat&Link Box

Bat&Link Box combines the functions of an autonomous power source for the Zima2-B direction-finding antenna and a switching hub for pairing it with the user's PC, as well as for connecting course-and-position data sources. The device includes protection circuits against reverse polarity and overvoltage of the connected instruments.

The unit is housed in a compact, shock-resistant plastic case (IP67 with the lid closed) with a 3 mm thick stainless steel front panel. The built-in lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) battery supports operation at sub-zero temperatures and more than 3,000 charge-discharge cycles.

If needed, the Bat&Link Box can run from an external 16 V DC power source while simultaneously charging the built-in battery from its standard charger; the delivery set includes a 220 V mains adapter.
