The new BCA Float E2 avalanche airbag packs use an Alpride E2 supercapacitor system to store energy that powers the compressor upon deployment. Supercapacitors store and release energy based on electromechanical properties rather than a chemical reaction like in rechargeable batteries. This makes supercapacitor performance much more reliable in cold temperatures. For the same reason, the energy stored in a supercapacitor releases faster when activated for deployment.
Our dedicated sled-specific Float E2 pack, the E2-25 Turbo offers multiple options for external shovel carry, as well as an insulated internal electronics pocket. Includes all our standard Float E2 features: waterproof coated nylon, side stash pocket, back stash zip, internal shovel/probe carry system, curved side access zip, hip belt pocket, and "cooling fin" backpanel ventilation. Available in two sizes: SM/MD or LG/XL.
In addition to the supercapacitor storage, you can install two AA batteries to allow for additional deployment in the field. The batteries also help keep the supercapacitors at full charge when not in use.
