hen you move out on patrol, you’re carrying lots of gear powered by batteries.
And that gear can soon drain the energy out of ordinary commercial batteries—
especially in freezing temperatures. That’s why you should use
L91
non-rechargeable
lithium iron disulFde AA batteries, NSN 6135-01-333-6101. Although the L91s cost
more than alkaline AA batteries, they out-perform the alkalines hands down. The
L91 lithium batteries:
•±
Are 37 percent lighter than
alkaline batteries.
•±
Last up to seven times longer.
•±
Perform at temperatures as
low as -40°F.
•±
Withstand high
temperatures. After 12 years
of storage at 104°F, the L91
batteries keep 80 percent of
their capacity.
•±
Power your AN/PSN-13
defense advanced GPS
receiver (DAGR) for
nearly 15 hours at -4°F.
Alkaline batteries last
less than 2 hours at that
temperature.

is
Lightweight,
Long-lasting
and…
Here are some
examples of
equipment that
use the L91 lithium
batteries…
we’re L91s.
we can handle
just about
anything!
yeah! we’re
lighter…
…we can
perform at
low
temperatures…
…and with-
stand
high
temps!
…we
last
longer…
I know I
said
l-low
temps, but
60 b-below
is
ridiculous!
