A hard lesson echoed by professionals across modern battlefields, from Ukraine to global training grounds: a thermal scope without power is a useless piece of equipment. When the battery dies, your tactical advantage vanishes in the dark.
Even high-end military thermal scopes, typically powered by dual 18650 batteries (up to 8000mAh), struggle to exceed 8 hours of continuous use in freezing conditions. This critical limitation forces operators into vulnerable battery-swapping routines mid-operation. The reality is stark: a dead thermal scope is as good as having no scope at all.
At NP-Optics, we’ve made it our mission to break this fundamental constraint. We approach the power challenge not by merely adding bigger batteries, but through a holistic “Conserve & Augment” strategy across four key system levels:
- Source Efficiency: Optimized Core & Algorithms
The infrared detector core is a major power consumer. Our proprietary high-efficiency image processing algorithms maintain exceptional image clarity while drastically reducing the computational power required, cutting energy consumption at the source. - Display Revolution: Energy-Saving OLED Across the Line
The display is another critical drain. NP-Optics has completed a full product line transition to high-performance, low-power OLED displays. These screens offer superior contrast and visibility while consuming significantly less power than traditional alternatives. - External Endurance: The EPS-A1 External Battery System
For a quantum leap in runtime, we engineered the EPS-A1 External Battery Pack. This innovative accessory securely attaches to your weapon’s Picatinny rail via a screw-clamp mount. It houses an additional set of 18650 batteries, acting as a hot-swappable backup or a parallel power source. It can even be charged in the field via a power bank, enabling “continuous use” scenarios that can more than double your operational time. - Brain Power: Ultra-Efficient Hisilicon Processor
The “brain” of our latest-generation devices has been upgraded to the HiSilicon 3356 processor. Renowned for its industry-leading power efficiency, this chip delivers formidable processing power with minimal energy draw, optimizing overall system power management.
This four-pillar approach represents a systematic war on power anxiety. Our goal is not just incremental improvement but to provide users with the confidence to operate in the most demanding conditions, free from the constant worry of a dying battery.
Reliable technology builds trust. At NP-Optics, we are committed to R&D that ensures our thermal imaging products remain your most persistent and dependable eyes in the dark.
