This is the Battery Pack housing (batteries not included) for the MIRA Safety® MB-90® PAPR for gas masks. This battery pack holds 8 AA batteries and provides power when inserted into the battery port of the powered respirator. Keeping backup battery packs on hand helps reduce downtime during long hours of use and provides insurance should this crucial part of your PAPR kit be damaged or lost.
Our MB-90® PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) is based on the elite design used by Israeli special forces.
MIRA Safety® adapted that design for a broader range of users, including police and civilians. In addition to a more rugged body and a number of other improvements, the key evolution was replacing the PAPR's original pricey battery with a specialized battery module that runs on 8 AA batteries.
Widely available and easily rechargeable, AA batteries make the PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator) affordable to operate over months or even years of use. And if you want to get the most out of it, we recommend grabbing a few extra battery modules. They can be hot-swapped if your PAPR loses power, and keeping extras on hand ensures you'll always have a battery pack to keep your respirator running.
NOTE: This battery pack is ONLY compatible with the current version of the MB-90® PAPR (Powered Air Purifying Respirator). We generally recommend storing batteries separately for long-term storage. The Battery Packs may be damaged by leaking or aging batteries. Check the batteries regularly.
