Detailed Features
Construction & Durability
This charging case is molded from impact-resistant polymer, providing a robust barrier against drops, knocks, and harsh handling often encountered in tactical operations
All seams are sealed with a specialized gasket material to achieve an IP67 rating, which guarantees that the interior remains dust-free and can withstand accidental immersion in water to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes
The external latch mechanism is constructed from stainless steel and reinforced polymer, ensuring that the case remains securely closed even under vibrational or jarring conditions
A raised, rubberized handle offers a firm grip for quick retrieval and easy transport, while the low-profile design allows the case to fit seamlessly into equipment bags, MOLLE pouches, or standard gear storage compartments.
Internal Layout & Connectivity
Custom-Fitted Earplug Bays: The interior features two molded cavities precisely shaped to cradle the TEP-100 or TEP-200 earplugs by their housing, preventing movement or impact damage
Each bay is lined with a soft, shock-absorbing elastomer liner that holds the earplugs securely in place and protects them from abrasion.
Integrated Charging Contacts: Each earplug bay contains gold-plated charging contacts that mate with corresponding contact pads on the earplug housings
These contacts ensure a reliable, low-resistance connection for efficient battery replenishment.
Battery Compartment: A dedicated compartment in the base of the case holds three standard AA batteries (alkaline or rechargeable NiMH)
The compartment features spring-loaded terminals for consistent voltage delivery and a quick-change cover that snaps shut to prevent accidental dislodging of batteries
A small, recessed indicator on the battery cover shows which orientation each battery should be inserted.
Micro USB Input: Adjacent to the hinge area, a weather-sealed Micro USB (Micro B) port enables connection to an external 5 Vdc power source (e.g., mobile power bank or vehicle power converter)
A rubber dust cap tethers securely to the case, protecting the port when not in use.
LED Status Indicators: Two tri-color LEDs are located on the inside of the lid, aligned with each earplug bay
