Power For Suit Heaters and Video Lights
The Piranha Power Slice is a module that allows you to draw 12v DC power from your scooter while underwater. All you need is an E/O cord on your suit heater or lights and you can utilize the massive battery in the scooter and stop having to carry an additional battery.
Suit Heaters
Using the Piranha battery to power a heated vest in a dry suit is the most popular application of the power slice. Typical heating systems are used on extended technical dives when the majority of the dive time is spent on decompression. The scooter is used normally during the bottom portion of the dive while the suit heater is used on decompression when the scooter is not used as much and management of the cables is easier. Reduction in scooter run time is generally minimal and can be calculated if you know the power draw of your heating vest.
