Rechargeable battle lantern retrofit kit

Don't be left in the dark

The Problem

  • Are the batteries in your emergency battle lanterns fresh?
  • Will they provide light in the case of power failure?
  • How long will the batteries last during power failure?
  • How many man-hours does ships force spend replacing batteries?
  • Is conversion to NEALS too expensive and too time consuming?
The Answer
U.S. Pioneer recharger kits
  • With the solid state U.S. Pioneer recharger kit, batteries are always fully charged.
  • When power fails there will always be light .
  • Lanterns will provide four hours of light.
  • Installs in just 15 minutes.
  • Maintenance is easy. There’s no guesswork...just look at the indicator light on the lantern:
    • Solid green—Lantern is charged.
    • Flashing green—Lantern is charging.
    • Flashing red—Bad battery.
    • Solid red—Failed charging circuit.
  • The kits are inexpensive and easy to install. It takes just 15 minutes to make the conversion.
