Home remodeling and structural renovation works are extremely stressful processes. Whether it is a team of professionals or DIYers, one thing remains the same – the continuous flow of electricity supply throughout the work. Any interruption to the power source halts the process immediately.
Up to this point, contractors and homeowners had only two options to choose from: using a set of extension cords or hiring a gas-powered generator to provide electricity during the renovation works. However, both options are associated with numerous inconveniences and complications.
On the contrary, modern battery technologies allow completing the job without any power interruptions. Making the right choice when it comes to the energy supply during the project will certainly affect the quality and final result of the work. A powerful power station with a waterproof function helps to avoid unnecessary interruptions and keeps things running smoothly.
Challenging Environment of the Jobsite
Before proceeding to actual specifications, it is essential to highlight the environment in which such equipment will be operating.
Fine Dust and Particulate Contamination
During building works and home renovations, the air becomes filled with dust and particles from sanding, demolition, and cutting activities. Consumer-grade power banks are designed with exposed cooling vents and fans, which in a construction area full of particulate matter, lead to serious hardware issues.
Moisture and Water Content
It is impossible to predict the weather beforehand, especially when the renovation involves exterior work. Moreover, working in an unheated basement or crawlspace can damage power equipment prone to moisture. A construction and renovation-specific power bank is a reliable solution for keeping the workstation free from power intermissions caused by environmental factors.
Essential Functions for Overcoming Power Interruptions of Renovation
When choosing industrial energy storage equipment for jobsite purposes, some specifications deserve specific attention. The listed functions ensure uninterrupted operation and prevent project delays due to power failures.
1. 5040Wh Capacity with Pure Sine Wave Inverter (PeaqPower)
During home remodeling and renovation works, it is not uncommon to operate more than two power tools at once. In many cases, a miter saw, table saw along with a powerful dust extractor and a multi-port battery charger are required. In such cases, the wattage capacity and inverter rating play a critical role.
A peak of 5000W AC Power with Pure Sine Wave Inverter (7000W Peak) allows powering multiple tools without overloading the battery station. Besides, the sine wave inverter produces electricity with the same quality as standard wall outlets.
Tools and equipment with sensitive electronics, including digital laser measuring tools and surveying instruments require a stable current without spikes and irregularities. Gas generators often cannot handle this requirement and damage the tool’s electronics. The pure sine wave generator protects the investment in sensitive equipment.
2. Rapid Charging Functionality (Up to 100% in 1.5 Hours)
There is nothing worse than arriving at the jobsite only to find out that the battery bank was not fully charged. In many cases, a slow charger overnight is not suitable for a full-cycle charging of the large battery. Such delays during the day affect the workflow and increase the overall cost of the project.
A power station with a 3900W input charger will allow completing the 100% charge cycle in only 1.5 hours. In case of an emergency, the battery is ready to be used again already during the lunch break.
3. Modular Expandability up to 45.36kWh
Depending on the scope of the project, different types of equipment are used. While some home improvement jobs require a minimum of electricity, others, such as the entire home remodeling, is a complex process involving days or weeks of hard work. In addition, not all jobs are performed on private homes – sometimes it is necessary to work on the customer’s territory, which may have no access to the standard electricity grid.
In such cases, modular battery energy storage systems are a convenient and flexible solution. One of the many advantages of our system is that it allows expanding the capacity by adding up to 8 B5 battery packs, thus reaching a maximum of 45.36kWh. Such a power station is sufficient to completely equip an entire neighborhood and provide electricity for weeks.
4. Smart HD LCD Display for Real-Time Monitoring
There is nothing more frustrating for a site leader than having no electricity when and where it is needed.
A built-in Smart HD LCD Display provides an overview of the current power station performance and remaining runtime. Thanks to this functionality, users have an insight into the following parameters:
- Current battery percentage
- Input power (in watts)
- Output power
- Estimated battery percentage remaining
- Estimated battery run time based on current electrical consumption
This information allows making precise plans for the jobsite and avoids unexpected delays due to power shortages.
Six Ways to Recharge for Maximum Flexibility
Flexibility and multifunctionality are some of the most important advantages of an Industrial Power Station. Having an option of different ways to charge ensures the uninterrupted operation of the battery bank.
Our Industrial Power Station can be charged in 6 different ways:
- Standard AC Charging – The power station can be charged from a standard AC wall outlet before heading to the jobsite.
- Solar Charging – Using the included folding solar panel allows using solar energy for charging while working on the jobsite.
- Car Charging – The power station’s battery can be charged while being in the transport vehicle.
- AC + Solar Charging – Simultaneous charging from both sources allows reaching the maximum input level of 3900W.
- Gas Generator Fast-Charge – The fast-charging option allows using a gasoline engine to charge the internal battery of the power station.
- EV Charging and Anderson Plug Input – EV charging allows using public charging stations within the city, while the Anderson Plug Input provides a secure and vibration resistant connection for power transfer from another industrial battery.
LiFePO4 Battery Cells for Safer Long-Term Operation
When speaking about power station for jobsite application, it is essential to highlight the battery technology. Unlike many consumer-grade battery stations, industrial equipment uses LiFePO4 cells, allowing for higher discharging rates and increased safety. This type of battery is a safer choice for indoor jobsite work due to its inherent thermal stability and resistance to extreme temperatures.
3500+ Cycles to 80% Capacity for Uninterrupted Work
LiFePO4 battery cells have an extraordinary cycle life, which allows discharging the battery to 80% and recharging it every day for almost a decade.
Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) for Critical Equipment
When the electricity in a home or office is interrupted, many pieces of equipment are affected. Some of them have a built-in UPS solution to protect the data and tools, while others do not have this feature.
An in-built UPS of the power station ensures that all equipment receives stable power without any interruptions. The function also safeguards delicate electronics. The uninterrupted power supply has a capacity of 2200W (Maximum).
Why Jobsite Contractors and Residential Remodelers Need These Power Stations
Having considered the wide range of benefits that the industrial battery energy storage system offers, it is possible to list several critical advantages of the equipment.
Interior and Exterior Works in Clients’ Houses
While performing interior jobs in a client’s residence, it is essential to avoid using long extension cords in the central part of the house to prevent tripping hazards. Having an additional power source in the room where the work is being performed eliminates the need to use extension cords in the central part of the house.
When working on exterior structures, the use of extension cords poses a tripping hazard as well as a voltage drop hazard. Placing the power station near the jobsite ensures a short loop for the electricity, eliminating voltage drop and providing the equipment with the required power.
Whole-Home Electrical Projects
When working on the whole-home electrical projects, the electricity in the residence may be turned off for some time. In such cases, a gas-powered generator is often used to provide electricity for lighting, tools, and equipment. Such a solution creates excess noise and cannot be used in the confined space of the residence.
A battery-powered power station eliminates both problems and provides power without emitting harmful gases.
How This Equipment Enhances the Bottom Line of Businesses
In many cases, the only source of income for a business is the time spent on the job. Any seconds not accounted for by the billing system translate into losses for the company. The right tools and equipment help to optimize the work process and exclude unnecessary time consumption. All the convenience functions of a power station add up to significant time savings for the business.
- Avoid Noise Complaints and Additional Costs from Local Authorities: Many cities have implemented strict regulations regarding gasoline generators, restricting their use to specific hours only. A silent battery power station allows avoiding such complications and working without interruptions throughout the day.
- Avoid Equipment Damage from Fluctuating Power Output: By providing a stable power supply to the equipment, a power station protects the tool from voltage spikes, which are especially harmful to the sensitive electronics of portable battery tools. In addition, an industrial power station eliminates the risk of overloading the circuit breaker in the client’s residence.
- Zero Emissions Inside House or Apartment: Without the emissions from the gasoline engine, the power station allows working in enclosed areas such as the residence of the client while providing power to powerful equipment.
Modern-day home remodeling and renovation projects require reliable and flexible equipment allowing working without electricity interruptions. By investing in a high-performance Waterproof Power Station, businesses and homeowners can eliminate unnecessary power interruptions and protect their equipment from potential damage.
