IR Hunter/IR Patrol USB Power Source Adapter Kit

GET YOURS HERE
       
The UNV - USB Battery adapter for the IR Hunter and IR Patrol is a high quality and hassle-free solution for powering your IR Patrol or IR Hunter thermal devices. The adapter will convert your power source to a more stable and efficient USB power bank. Not only is the USB power bank more efficient than CR123 batteries, it can also power your IR Patrol or IR Hunter for 8-24 hours depending on the battery you choose and your chosen frame rate. The adapter is an American made machined aluminum drop-in style replacement that requires no tools for installation.

It's no secret that thermal devices are power hungry and that the quality CR123A batteries required to operate the IR Hunter and IR Patrol are expensive and wasteful. The battery life using 1, 2, or 3, CR123A batteries in the IR Hunter or IR Patrol varies from 1.5 to 5 hours of continuous use - not nearly long enough to hunt all night without changing batteries. As battery technology progresses there are a multitude of reasons to use rechargeable 5 volt USB power banks. Quality USB power banks increase battery life over CR123A batteris, USB power banks reduce cost because they are rechargeable, and they make in-field battery replacement hassle-free.

No Tools - No modifications - Drop-In Design
The IR Patrol/IR Hunter USB power adapter threads on to your IR Hunter or IR Patrol battery compartment just like your stock battery cap, and has been designed with the same materials and workmanship as your stock battery cap. The adapter allows you to easily connect your IR Hunter or IR Patrol to a USB power source using the provided USB power cable. Each kit is supplied with a drop-in CR123A spacer cell. The provided drop-in spacer cell is necessary when the adapter is used with the IR Hunter or the IR Patrol in 2-battery configuration. The spacer cell is not needed when using the adapter with the IR Patrol in 1 battery configuration. There are no tools or modifications needed to use the adapter with your IR Hunter or IR Patrol, and if you ever want to use CR123A batteries again simply unscrew the adapter and use your device as normal.

About the Battery - Safe and Efficient
The premium cell USB power bank included in the adapter kit has many built-in features to ensure that power is delivered safely and efficiently. In fact, the rechargeable USB battery used in the adapter kit has output current stabilization, output voltage surge protection, auto shutoff/sleep mode(when not connected to device), battery cell protection, short circuit prevention, low voltage protection, and a battery charge percentage indicator to let you know how much battery life you have left.

Light Weight and Cost Effective
There is no reason to waste money on expensive disposable batteries, and with the IR Patrol/IR Hunter USB Power Adapter kit you can eliminate the recurring cost of disposable CR123A batteries. All USB battery configurations offered with the IR Patrol/IR Hunter adapter are outfitted with high-density Panasonic 18650 cells which offer 10% more efficency above other 18650 cells. These efficent batteries put more power in the same slim design of smaller competing batteries.

Complete Safety
The battery uses premium LG cells, together with the most advanced materials and cutting-edge technology, to ensure complete safety.






 

 

 

Tyler:

Any chance you can post a picture showing how you've mounted the battery pack to your rifle? I may be looking at the picture wrong, but it seems the included cable is not long enough to make it to the buttstock.

Using the standard USB 2/3 ports as the source, how long does it take to charge this battery pack?

Is that battery pack rated for 308? Most of the time we use 6.8SPC or 300 blk, but periodically we bring the 308's out if we think we'll be taking longer shots. I'm assuming 6.8SPC and 300blk won't be an issue...

I may have missed it on your site, but do you sell the 9000 mAh USB Battery as a separate item? Depending on charge time, we may order spare battery packs since sometimes we have limited time access to charge ports.

Yes sir, we will have some pictures explaining helmet and rifle mounted options. The supplied cable works very well with the IR Patrol helmet mounted. The best solution when using helmet mounted is to velcro the USB battery directly to your helmet where the USB ports are facing forward. Otherwise, you would need to get a right angle usb converter or modify the included pouch.  When mounting to a rifle stock you will need a longer power cable with a right angle. We will supply right angle extension cables will all of the adapter kits. If it's not currently on your order it will be added for free so that you have what you need to properly use the adapter on a helmet or rifle. There is no way to make one cable work on a helmet and a rifle without cutting corners, so we decided to use the right angle extension cables to cover both setups. We may also add a longer cable with a right angle that can be purchased separately for rifle mounting. It all depends on the feedback we get from these first units going to customers. This info is not on the website yet, but we will eventually have a picture of the entire kit and pics of the batteries helmet and weapon mounted to better illustrate how they work.




 

Ordered this AM and just got notice they are sold out of these already.   Waiting...............

Here are a few pics of the batteries in the battery pouch. All 3 of the batteries we currently offer will fit in this pouch. The 10,050 has a metal housing and smaller LED charge indicator lights. The 10,050 is surprisingly also a little smaller than the 9,600. Velcro sticks to the 10,050 metal housing much better than the rubber on the 6,400 and 9,600 mAh batteries, which means you can velcro the 10,050 directly to a helmet or on your rifle.
All of the  kits include the 6,400 mAh batteries and you can upgrade to the 9,600 or 10,050 or purchase separately.


Hope that helps.




 

Any news on expected arrival of more adapter kits?

Yes sir, we will have another shipment in the next 7-10 days.

 

We have decided that a longer cable with a right angle USB will be offered for rifle mounting your USB battery pack and using it with the MK II or IR Patrol USB external power adapter. We also have right angle USB extension cables we can add to the adapter kits for under $10.


Here are some pics to show you how I have mine mounted:


























 
 

Any orders shipping yet?

We are hoping to get another 100 units Monday/Tuesday. Definitely some time next week. Thanks for your patience!

 

We are now including a right angle USB extension cable with the adapter kit. This allows you to use the IR Patrol on a helmet with the standard 16 inch USB power cable, or use the 8 inch extender when weapon mounting the IR Patrol.







We also have a 19 inch right angle USB power cable available if you are going to be strictly weapon mounting the IR Patrol or are using an IR Hunter







 

The second batch of adapters have arrived and all orders will be filled today and Monday. We will have a limited quantity in stock until the next batch arrives in 6-8 weeks.
