Advanced Power Supply · Quick-Swap
The APS system – swap batteries in seconds, stay focused on the target
Pulsar’s APS (Advanced Power Supply) system is a standardised, tool-free battery platform shared across the Thermion and Digex families. The APS 2 slides into the device’s battery compartment via a secure latch and locks in place with a satisfying click. No wiring, no adapters – just slide, lock and go. When the battery runs low, press the release, slide out the depleted pack and insert a fresh one. The entire swap takes less than five seconds, keeping downtime to an absolute minimum during hunts and observation sessions.
Reliable performance in extreme temperatures
The APS 2 operates from −25 to +40 °C, covering everything from arctic winter hunts to summer observation sessions. The Li-Ion cells maintain stable voltage output even in sub-zero conditions, ensuring consistent runtime for your Thermion or Digex optic. Charging is designed for a safe range of 0 to +35 °C, and the integrated protection circuitry guards against over-charge, over-discharge and short circuits. For long-term storage, Pulsar recommends maintaining a 50–80 % charge level to maximise cell longevity.
Simple charging with the APS charger
The APS 2 charges via Pulsar’s dedicated APS charger (sold separately) using a standard microUSB cable. The charger accepts 100–240 V mains input (5 V output), making it travel-friendly worldwide. A full charge takes approximately 3.5 hours. The battery’s built-in 4-stage LED indicator shows charge progress and remaining capacity: one LED = 25 %, four LEDs = fully charged. With a rated lifespan of 300+ charge cycles, the APS 2 delivers reliable, long-term service.
