Caravel Mk2
- Part No. 404211-2001
- NSN 6130-99-843-6297
The Caravel Mk2 is Lincad’s first multi-chemistry charger and incorporates the very latest in battery charger technology and design. It offers charging of lithium-ion (Li-ion) and other battery types from any original equipment manufacturer via battery interface adaptors (BIAs).
It features a transport mode to prepare Li-ion batteries to less than 30% state of charge for air transport in line with IATA regulations, and a storage mode to prepare Li-ion batteries to 50% state of charge for long-term storage. It also includes twin USB ports for charging mobile devices.
Representing the very latest in battery charger technology and design, Lincad’s multi-chemistry Caravel Mk2 charger is an enhanced, cutting edge replacement for the original Caravel charger which has seen front line service with British and international armed forces for over 15 years.
The Caravel Mk2 charges batteries of any electrochemistry from any original equipment manufacturer via battery interface adaptors, allowing the management of an entire fleet of batteries from a single type of charger. With dual USB connectivity, it also charges smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices, and can be configured for wireless or Ethernet communication for central monitoring. With a transport mode to allow the discharge of any lithium-ion battery to less than 30% state of charge in line with current International Air Transport Association (IATA) regulations, it becomes the default charger for anyone in the lithium-ion battery supply chain.
Designed for simplicity of operation with largely automated functionality, the Caravel Mk2 offers a flexible, all-purpose solution for battery charging in a barracks environment. With inservice configurable software, it provides the end-user with the reassurance that all their current and future battery charging requirements are met.
The charger is CE marked and EMC tested to Def Stan 59-411 Land Class C limits.
