To power a PP-8498/U from a vehicle’s 24-volt NATO slave receptacle, order DC
cable, NSN 5940-01-501-6714. To use this cable to power two PP-8498 chargers,
order an add-on cable, NSN 5995-01-505-7883.
For the BB-390 battery, you will also need the self-discharge cap, NSN 6130-01-
490-4310. The BB-2590 requires no discharge cap.
The Charger-on-the-Move, PP-8481B/U, has been upgraded to charge more
BB-2590s faster and provide more expandability. The PP-8481B/U comes fully
loaded with AC and DC cables and two universal adapters to hold and charge
BB-2590, BB-390, BB-516, BB-326, BB-388, BB-2588, BB-2800, BB-2847 and
MBITR batteries.
If you’re using the new Charger-on-the-Move, you can order a bulk adapter with
NSN 5940-01-494-7116 that holds four BB-2590s.

PP-8498/U is the latest and greatest table-
top charger. It will hold eight batteries,
charging two at a time before moving on to
the next two. It will recharge every kind of
rechargeable battery listed here.
The PP-8498/U and the PP-8481B/U are
the only approved chargers that can charge
the BB-2590/U. The obsolete PP-8444A/U
will not do the job, but can still charge many
battery types.
Remember, stored rechargeables will permanently lose capacity, so charge them
at least every six months and more often in hot environments. If you’re using them,
you’re charging them and you should get about three years of life from them.
Rechargeables, like all batteries, need to be stored correctly, handled safely and
disposed of properly. Some rechargeables are under warranty and that will dictate
how you dispose of them.
