Ocean Sonics launched its second generation battery pack, with features that make the pack easy to handle and service. The lightweight glass fiber composite case eliminates cathodic issues found with metal cans. The endcap connector guard doubles as a lever making the release of the endcap a low-effort and safe procedure. The lever handles help users transport the battery pack easily. The pack can be configured for different chemistries, including alkaline, lithium primary and nickel-metal. The pack uses standard D-cell units that can be sourced directly by the user and drop-shipped to their destination.

 

The pack synchronizes multiple hydrophones connected to it. Options for the pack include 1 to 4 TB of memory for combining multiple hydrophones, and a data-processing Hub that runs Ocean Sonics' classifiers, or can run Linux-based custom classifiers.
