EHIP
EHIP Light Battery Charger
The EHIP Charger has four stations used for charging the EHIP batteries which are used during an EVA. With the use of an adapter it can charge two PGT batteries.
The charger is shown with one EHIP Battery and one PGT Adapter attached.

SAFER
SAFER - Simplified Aid For Extravehicular Activity Rescue
SAFER, is a small, self-contained, propulsive backpack device that can provide free-flying mobility for a spacewalker. This jetpack’s purpose is to safely return the spacewalker to the ISS if he accidentally becomes untethered. Attached to the spacesuit’s display and control module is a hand controller (joystick), which operates thrusters to propel the astronaut back to the safety of the ISS. Each of the 24 thrusters expels nitrogen gas.
Summit Products provided NASA with the SAFER Battery Fuel Gauge, GSE (Ground Support Equipment), and Gauge Test Fixtures

X-38
X-38 Crew Return Vehicle (CRV)
The X-38 Crew Return Vehicle was a prototype of the CRV emergency crew return vehicle, or lifeboat, for the International Space Station.
Summit Products designed and manufactured hardware for the three main battery systems: the Deorbit Propulsion Module Fuel Gauge, the Cabin Battery Chargers and the 270 Volt Battery Charger. The Deorbit Propulsion Module Fuel Gauge measured the capacity of the Deorbit Propulsion Module Battery provided by Friwo of Germany. The Cabin Battery Chargers were used to power all mission critical systems, including avionics and life support. The 270 Volt Battery was used to power the flight control surfaces and Parasail steering motors.
