If you own an Iridium satellite phone or renting one for your excursion to a remote area, it is worthwhile having backup batteries as well as an Iridium Extreme or Iridium 9555 satellite phone charger. Emergencies can strike anywhere and anytime, which can compromise your connectivity to your teams or loved ones. Whether you need an emergency rescue or simply taking personal precautions, being prepared will ensure you can always rely on your satellite phone in any situation. Canada Satellite offers a range of accessories to keep your Iridium device powered up at all times.
High Capacity Battery
The Iridium Extreme high capacity battery provides up to 6.5 hours of talk time and 43 hours of standby time while in full network coverage. It can also be used as a replacement for the Iridium Extreme battery or as a spare battery for extended travel. For optimal performance, the high capacity battery should only be charged within a temperature range of 0°C (32°F) and 40°C (104°F), which then allows a battery charge time of 4 hours to 100% capacity.
Rechargeable Battery
The Iridium Extreme Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery can only be charged while placed inside the Iridium Extreme satellite phone. It can then be used as a replacement battery for the Iridium Extreme battery or as a spare, ensuring you never lose power when you need it most.
Iridium Satellite Phone Chargers
Having spare and replacement batteries will put your mind at ease, however, it is just as important to have a power source to keep your accessories charged. The International Plug Kit supports US, European, UK, Indian and Australian plug outlets, which you can use to charge your Iridium handset from any remote office or home environment. This kit can be used with the travel charger that provides a quick charge for best performance.
Portable Chargers
Vehicle adapters are the ideal portable solution like the Iridium 9555 car charger, which is also compatible with the 9505A and 9575 sat phone handsets. If you need extra power as a temporary solution, the Anker PowerCore 26800 Portable Charger is offered as a rental option. This accessory has a dual input port and 3 USB ports that’s compatible to charge most smart devices, such as an iPhone, iPad, or Android phone.
Solar Chargers
Solar battery chargers are extremely useful as they don’t need an electrical source, so if you find yourself out in the woods and your sat phone has run flat, you can harness the sun’s energy to get it powered up again. The Powertraveller Extreme Solar Panel gives you the freedom of movement as a power source.
Another added benefit of solar Iridium battery charger is its environmental friendliness because solar cells don’t generate any emissions, by-products or waste. The SatStation SolarPak 18 Foldable Solar Panel is another option that offers 18 watts of power in a compact, easy-to-carry design. If you need a cost-effective solution, the Goal Zero NOMAD 14 PLUS Solar Panel is available to charge smaller devices quickly.
