Product Overview

The Bioenno Power BPP-160 Renewable Power Pack is a 160 Watt-hour portable energy solution designed for lightweight field use and solar integration. An upgrade from the legacy BPP-120, the BPP-160 increases capacity and functionality with dual AC outlets, three DC outputs, and solar compatibility—all in a compact 3.5 lb unit.

Tailored for QRP radios under 10 Watts, this power pack is a go-to for Ham Radio operators, OEM use, and government agencies. It integrates a smart PCM for efficient power management and displays live usage data via its LCD interface. The unit is solar-ready and supports direct input from the Bioenno Power BSP-28 foldable solar panel (or a chain of two panels), making it ideal for grid-independent applications.

The BPP-160 includes a DC output converter box for 13.8VDC compatibility with radios like the Yaesu 817/818, Elecraft KX2/KX3, ICOM 705, and more.
