Charging Forward: Introducing the MOVES® SLC™ External Battery Charger
- January 12, 2026
The new Thornhill Medical External Battery Charger enables you to charge your MOVES® SLC™ batteries outside the system—so you stay mission-ready for what’s next.
"Now teams can keep a reserve of charged MOVES® SLC™ batteries ready, so power is never a limiting factor in patient care—no matter how long the mission."
Why it matters:
- Continuous Operation: Charge one battery externally while the MOVES® SLC™ runs on another—no downtime, even during rapid redeployment or prolonged use.
- Hot-Swappable Convenience: Supports MOVES® SLC™’s hot-swappable batteries, so you can deliver uninterrupted patient care.
- Flexible Logistics: Maintain a ready inventory of charged batteries for field, clinical, or mass casualty settings.
- Universal Compatibility: Works with all MOVES® SLC™ battery iterations.
- Fast Charging: Fully charges a battery under 2.5 hours (in typical conditions)
How it Works: Smart Battery Management by Design
MOVES® SLC™ operates on two removable, hot swappable batteries. The technology is engineered to deplete one battery at a time, leaving the second fully charged. That means you can hot-swap and charge without ever interrupting care.

Now with the new MOVES® SLC™ Battery Charger, you can charge additional batteries separately. This enables you to keep spares ready for fast swapping, rotate batteries efficiently, and support continuous patient care—even in prolonged, austere, or off-grid situations.
Who benefits?
- Military medics and field hospitals requiring rapid battery turnover.
- Casualty evacuation or patient transport personnel administering care on-the-go.
- Disaster response teams supporting mass casualty events.
- Procurement officers seeking modular accessories for operational readiness.
The MOVES® SLC™ Battery Charger reduces downtime and device dependency by enabling external charging of batteries—keeping your life-saving technology powered and ready, wherever you are.
