Battery charger
InPower introduces the 100 percent solid state Auxiliary Battery Switch (ABS)/ Electronic Battery Separator. The ABS is designed to charge an auxiliary battery and isolate it from the vehicle’s chassis battery and alternator. The next-generation patented technology is intended to replace diode-based battery isolators and mechanical solenoid-type battery separators and isolators. Because the ABS is bidirectional, a charging device such as a battery charger connected to the auxiliary battery can supply charging current to the chassis battery. InPower’s ABSs are available in 100, 150, 175, and 200 amp models.

Expandable truncheon
The Peacekeeper Rapid Containment Baton (RCB) became available earlier this year. It outperformed all other batons in a 10-month study by the Weapons and Equipment Research Institute, funded by the National Institute of Justice. The RCB has been approved by hundreds of agencies worldwide as they seek an effective, dependable, and durable alternative to other batons. Batons provide a wide range of enforcement options from less-lethal presence of authority uses to lethality, if justified. In addition, the RCB is cost effective, with no batteries, darts, training cartridges, canisters, or less-lethal ballistics required for deployment.
