A Bengaluru-based venture has produced a rugged tactical battery that it is now planning to sell to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s (NATO) forces in Europe. The heavy-duty power bank — the ‘Pravaig Field Pack’ — is portable, weighs 14 kg, and is of great utility to the digitally connected modern military and special forces personnel, who have to operate in high-risk zones like Ukraine and Libya while using gadgets that require constant power back-up.
“These batteries are designed, engineered and made in India. This supply marks a major shift in the defence landscape of India — a tipping point in the reversal of India’s high technology defence industry, from users to developers, from importers to exporters,” said Pravaig’s Siddhartha Bagri.
In a statement, Pravaig said that the Field Pack can be used to charge a MacBook 60 times.
