Pulsar Batteries & Power Packs for Thermal Riflescopes, Monoculars, and Night Vision

Pulsar’s dedicated batteries and external power packs are built to keep your thermal and digital optics running through long nights in the field. Instead of relying on generic batteries with unknown quality, Pulsar packs are designed around real-world hunting, surveillance, and professional use—featuring secure locking mechanisms, rugged casings, and capacities sized for multi-hour runtime in harsh conditions.

Pair these power solutions with our thermal riflescopes, thermal monoculars, and digital night vision optics to build complete, ready-for-anything setups for night hunting or observation work.

Buyer’s Guide: Choosing the Right Pulsar Battery Pack

Choosing the right Pulsar battery or power pack comes down to three main questions: which device you’re powering, how long you need it to run, and how you prefer to carry or mount your power source.

Battery Families: APS, IPS, and LPS

APS series (such as the APS 3) are compact, removable batteries commonly used in smaller devices like select Axion, Thermion, and Digex models. They’re ideal when you want low weight and multiple spare packs in your pocket. IPS series (such as the IPS 14) are larger battery packs designed for earlier Pulsar platforms and certain digital/thermal optics, providing extended runtimes in a robust housing. LPS series (such as the LPS-7i) are modern, high-capacity, rechargeable power supplies for compatible Pulsar devices, offering long runtimes and convenient charging while maintaining a streamlined profile.

Capacity and Runtime

Higher-capacity packs provide longer runtimes but typically add some size and weight. Smaller packs like the APS 3 are easy to pocket and swap, while larger packs like the IPS 14 and LPS-7i are built for long sessions—ideal for all-night hog hunts or extended surveillance. In practice, most users carry at least one spare battery regardless of pack size for redundancy and peace of mind.

Device Compatibility

Each Pulsar pack is designed to pair with specific product lines. Before buying, confirm which battery family your optic uses (APS, IPS, or LPS). Matching the correct pack ensures proper fit, secure locking, and accurate remaining charge readings on the device’s interface.

Charging and Power Management

Pulsar power packs are rechargeable and typically support charging through dedicated chargers or compatible power inputs. Many users keep a charger at home and a second in a vehicle or blind. For the best performance and longevity, avoid letting packs fully discharge for long periods and store them partially charged when not in use.

Functions of Pulsar Batteries & Power Packs

Pulsar batteries and power packs are more than simple energy sources; they’re part of an integrated ecosystem designed around thermal and digital optics. Their function is to deliver stable, reliable power in conditions that would quickly drain or damage generic batteries—cold temperatures, long run times, and frequent cycling on and off throughout a hunt or shift.

• Stable power delivery keeps image performance consistent and reduces sudden shutdowns in cold weather.
• Secure locking designs help prevent power loss from recoil or accidental bumps.
• Device-aware battery indicators give you a realistic picture of remaining runtime.
• Rugged housings are sized and shaped to match Pulsar devices for better ergonomics and weather resistance.

Extended Use Cases

All-Night Hog and Predator Hunts

• Carry a larger pack like the LPS-7i or IPS 14 on your primary thermal riflescope or scanner to run all night without interruption.
• Back it up with compact APS 3 batteries for handheld devices or backup optics.
• Rotate packs during lulls in activity so your main optic never unexpectedly dies when game finally appears.

Guides, Outfitters, and Professional Users

• Run multiple Pulsar devices—riflescopes, monoculars, and binoculars—with a mix of APS and IPS/LPS packs so every unit stays online.
• Standardize battery types across your fleet where possible to simplify charging and spares.
• Use high-capacity packs for nightly operations and smaller packs for backup or guest equipment.

Security, Surveillance, and Ranch Work

• Equip surveillance or patrol optics with high-capacity packs to cover long shifts or patrols without frequent swaps.
• Keep a dedicated charger in the office or barn and another in a vehicle so batteries can be topped off between patrols.
• Use compact packs for quick-response kits and larger packs for fixed observation posts.

Tips for Optimizing Pulsar Battery Performance

• Label your batteries with a marker or tape so you can rotate them evenly and track which packs are newest or used hardest.
• Keep batteries warm in cold weather by storing spares in an inside pocket; cold drastically reduces runtime.
• Avoid deep discharges whenever possible; recharge before a pack is totally exhausted to support long-term health.
• Store partially charged (around half full) if you won’t use them for several weeks, rather than fully drained or fully topped off.
• Inspect contacts occasionally and keep them free of moisture, dirt, or corrosion for consistent performance.
