T
he BA-5368/U lithium battery, NSN 6135-01-455-7947, has been the battery of
choice to power the AN/PRC-90 survival radio since the BA-1568 mercury battery,
NSN 6135-00-838-0706, went away.
Now, the BA-5368/U is in short supply. Fortunately, there’s an alternative that is
less expensive and will give you a longer run time.
The alternative is the 3-volt, lithium photo cell, NSN 6135-01-351-1131. The cells
are about $25 for a package of 12. A package of 10 of the BA-5368/U costs more
than $300.
There’s a catch, though.
You’ll need battery adapter,
The adapter is $30, so it’s
still a great deal!
In addition, the photo cell
with adapter has one and a
half times the capacity of the
BA-5368/U.
You can get the photo cell
batteries commercially, too.
Look for CR123A, K123LA,
or DL123A. All three will
work with the adapter.
If you have further questions about the adapter or AN/PRC-90 batteries, contact
the CECOM LCMC POC at DSN 992-2270 or com 732-532-2270. Or email:
