It offers a lightweight, compact and rugged power system intended to withstand the harsh operating conditions of military field use. The unique design combines advances in fuel cell energy conversion and battery charging technology into one complete product solution that provides significant performance benefits over incumbent and alternative technologies.

-- Pulse(TM) BPM601: a battlefield air operations power manager designed to support a host of power conversion and battery charging capabilities. The product is designed as a lightweight, compact and rugged intelligent power management system for military field use. The system combines leading edge advances in ultra-high efficiency power conversion, equipment power management and energy harvesting technology to offer benefits that are currently unavailable to military users.

"The products we are previewing at this year's Tactical Power Summit further demonstrate the success Protonex has had delivering new portable power products to the military market. The Pulse M250 and BPM601 are two more examples of our ability to commercialize the latest Protonex technological advancements into innovative, high value power solutions," stated Scott Pearson, CEO of Protonex.
