Owl Power

Welcome to Owl Power, your authorized New Zealand distributor for XTAR.

For over a decade, the team at Owl Optics and Comms has been the silent engine behind our clients' critical gear. We’ve spent 17 years sourcing and testing the batteries and chargers that keep professional radios, thermal optics, and field equipment running in New Zealand’s toughest conditions.

Today, we are officially bringing XTAR into the Owl fold—combining their world-class innovation with our local, hands-on expertise.

Why Owl Power?

We don’t just move boxes; we understand the chemistry. Because batteries and chargers have been a core part of our service for 17 years, we know that "cheap" power is often the most expensive mistake you can make.

• 100% Kiwi Owned: Based in Northland, we’re a family business that understands the needs of NZ professionals and enthusiasts.
• Field Tested: If we wouldn't trust it on a SAR mission or a remote job site, we won't sell it to you.
• Expert Support: When you buy from Owl Power, you get the technical backing of the entire Owl team.

The XTAR Advantage: Focus · Reliability · Innovation

XTAR is a global leader in intelligent charging technology.
By choosing XTAR through Owl Power, you’re investing in gear designed to protect your equipment and extend the life of your batteries.

Intelligent 3-Stage Charging

XTAR chargers utilize a specialized TC-CC-CV (Trickle Charge, Constant Current, Constant Voltage) method. This ensures batteries are "woken up" gently, charged efficiently, and cut off precisely at the right moment to prevent overcharging.

0V Activation Function

Don't throw away "dead" batteries. XTAR’s patented 0V Activation technology can often revive over-discharged Li-ion cells that other chargers would reject, saving you money and reducing environmental waste.

Safety First

From built-in protection circuits to flame-retardant materials, every XTAR product is engineered to the highest safety standards.

1.5v AA and AAA Batteries
