Energy Training

This course is designed to expand your operational capabilities and manipulation skills of *ALL* forms of batteries, power sources and charging technologies for usage in communications, computing, signaling, illumination, intelligence tools and tactical equipment in urban, remote or high threat environments and all temperatures, climates and elevations.

We teach this as a Hard Skill and it has become a new Field Craft.
The student leaves with a hands on, no nonsense retained knowledge of batteries and power that they will be able to repeat under stress and use the rest of their life. In today's integrated communications and technology that enables missions; if the battery dies then the ability to complete the mission dies. If you use a cell phone, SAT phone, field radio, squad radio, SATCOMM, SIGINT, ELINT, digital camera, video camera, GPS, light, lamp, portable drill, saw, illuminators, designators, night vision, thermal vision, range finder, beacon, strobe, laptop, PDA, watch, charger, jumper or anything else that is plugged in or has a +Plus or -Minus on it then this class is a mandatory skill set you need for increasing mission completion and survivability. See the testimonials below.

• *CONUS and foreign sources of power. 220volts, 120volts, single phase, 3 phase, 60hz, 50hz, 12 and 24 volts DC and much more.
• Primary and secondary batteries. Disposable and rechargeable batteries. Which ones to use, to never use and which ones do you trust your life to.
• Battery selection and usage based on device, location, requirements and desires. Run a laptop, phone, GPS and more for a day, a week, a month or a year.
• Charging communication devices traditional and overlooked power sources. Powering a cell or satellite phone for a month for $10
• Temperature, water and shock considerations of battery selection.
• The age, chemistry, temperature and application of a battery and how long it will run for
• Power Smart battery selection and alternate power for field electronics. GPS, NVGs, Laptops, digital cameras, video cameras and much more
• The Field Craft of Harvesting Energy. Power for days in minutes
• Power Smart strategies for communications. Reliable communications power for the whole mission with backups.
• Consequences and recovery. Improper hookup, short circuits, equipment failure, damage or loss.
• Loss of power strategies. Primary, secondary and tertiary backups
• Lay-up and caching of batteries and other forms of emergency energy for days, months or years.
• Man portable power, vehicle transportation of power and batteries
• Identification, selection and usage of different sources of field, stationary and portable power.
