AN/PRC-163 Battery Eliminator for Flexible External Power
The Side Exit Batt Eliminator Kit provides a low-profile solution for powering an AN/PRC-163 radio from an alternate power source. Its side-exit cable design keeps the power lead close to the radio while allowing the cable to flex in any direction, making it well suited for compact tactical radio installations, field equipment layouts, and applications where cable routing space is limited.
Low Profile PRC-163 Power Adapter Features
- Low-Profile Side Exit: Cable routing exits through the side of the adapter to help minimize bulk around the radio.
- Flexible Cable Routing: The cable can flex in any direction for adaptable positioning in radio pouches and equipment configurations.
- Alternate Power Capability: Enables compatible radios to operate from an external power source instead of relying solely on the standard battery.
- Custom Assembly Design: Supplied unassembled for integration with the user's selected compatible wire and power configuration.
PRC-163 Power Adapter for Tactical Radio Applications
Designed for dependable field power integration, this tactical radio power adapter provides a practical connection point between compatible AN/PRC radios and alternate DC power sources. The side-exit housing configuration supports clean cable management in space-constrained installations, while the user-assembled design allows the kit to be incorporated into purpose-built power cables for communications equipment, portable radio systems, vehicle installations, and other professional field applications.
