Power Supply and NiMH Battery Pack Interfacing
The Pelican 2460 StealthLite handheld LED flashlight (KT SKU: KTI12005004PELI) operates on an internal 4.8-volt DC architecture designed for dedicated rechargeable chemistry. Power delivery requires a 4-cell AA-size NiMH rechargeable battery pack (they are not included), cross-compatible with official Pelican replacement part number 2469P. The internal tray configuration enforces a dual in-line alignment: two AA NiMH batteries (they are not included) must be inserted with positive terminals facing upward, and two AA NiMH batteries (they are not included) positioned with positive terminals facing downward, matching the engraved polarity diagrams molded directly into the ABS body.
To safely manage chemical emissions during cyclic charging and discharging, the 2460 lamp module integrates internal catalyst pellets engineered specifically to absorb excess hydrogen gas generated by secondary NiMH cells (they are not included). For seasonal shutdowns or prolonged storage, technicians must remove all individual batteries (they are not included) from the ABS housing to eliminate the potential for electrolytic leakage and internal phosphor bronze contact spring corrosion.
Charging Cradles and Facility Electrical Infrastructure
Recharging is conducted via a dedicated drop-in charging dock that achieves a full charge cycle within 5 hours. The base assembly supports versatile stationary mounting on workbenches, control consoles, or equipment bulkheads utilizing pre-applied industrial double-sided adhesive tape or two #8 mechanical screws (screws are not included). Facility power interfacing is supported through certified mains transformers and vehicular DC adapters:
- Pelican 2468H 220V Transformer: Facilitates connection to industrial 220V AC mains supplies via standard transformer leads for stationary plant, workshop, or control room charging stations.
- Pelican 8056F 12V Plug-in Fast Charger: Enables rapid auxiliary connection directly into standard 12V DC vehicular auxiliary sockets for mobile inspection units and maintenance vans.
- Pelican 6061F Direct Wiring Rig for Fast Charger: Engineered for hardwired fleet installation into emergency response, utility, and patrol vehicles. The harness must be integrated directly with an ignition-switched circuit rather than continuous vehicle battery leads to mitigate parasitic drainage.
PPE Integration and Field Mounting Hardware
Measuring 7.00 inches (17.8 cm) in length with an operational weight of 7.8 oz (221 g) when loaded with batteries (they are not included), the Pelican 2460 StealthLite is dimensionally matched for hand carriage or structural gear integration. The body profile integrates seamlessly with the Pelican 0770 Helmet Light Holder accessory, enabling hands-free illumination across industrial hard hats, firefighter headgear, and tactical safety helmets during petrochemical turnaround, confined space entry, or hazardous site inspection.
