When disaster strikes, you could have the power to keep essential services running. It’s possible with Power Up’s newest offering: the Mobile Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). Mobile BESS is an advanced backup energy solution for critical infrastructure impacted by power outages.

Communities rely on hospitals, communication systems, emergency shelters, and other crucial services during disasters. Power outages can shut them down, right when they are needed most. Being prepared with a power backup plan ensures that you’re always able to serve your community. 

The Benefits of Energy Storage

Mobile battery energy storage systems are an investment in your community’s safety. These battery-powered charging stations can power a wide range of essentials, from medical technology to construction equipment. 

They store energy for the long-term and can start running right away, which means less lead time between disaster and your ability to help. In just minutes, you can be powered up again and ready to go.

Meet BESS

BESS is not your typical generator. These mobile systems are exceptionally powerful and versatile. Rather than expensive, high-emission fossil fuels, they use reliable battery power. This means less pollution in disaster-affected areas and lower maintence costs over time.

The Mobile BESS delivers an unprecedented amount of power in a portable unit. Each BESS can support plenty of invaluable emergency resources, with 30kVA output power and over 10 outlets. 

Solar panels can be added to create a fully renewable energy solution that’s off the grid, giving you more flexibility to operate in remote locations. Because they are fully mobile with sturdy wheels and highly durable construction, these units can be deployed quickly to wherever you need them.

With wildfires and other natural disasters on the rise, emergency preparedness is on everyone’s minds these days. Do you have a plan for your home and business? Portable power solutions are a smart investment to protect yourself against outages. 

At Power Up, we’ve been researching the latest trends in portable power. Staying informed is how we can create better products for you, our customers. 

One such development is the UL 9540a regulation. This important testing update impacts batteries and battery management systems. In this post, we’ll go into the specifics of the regulation and what it means for you as you create an emergency plan. 

What is UL 9540a?

UL Solutions, a global safety science company, has released a new test method for evaluating thermal runaway fire propagation in battery energy storage systems called UL 9540a. This test method helps us understand how batteries perform under a thermal event. Ultimately, this research helps us develop better, safer batteries. It’s one of many exciting developments in the portable power world.

How We’re Responding

Our customers deserve the very best. As part of our commitment to providing the highest quality equipment possible, we always stay on top of changing industry standards. Technology regulations change frequently, so we continually assess and update each of our products.

In response to UL 9540a, we’re expanding our Solar Charging Trailers to include an option that meets the new requirement. We’ll be updating the durable power station battery to ensure that it meets UL 9540a and is an even more reliable, powerful solution. 

Keeping You Connected

Whether it’s keeping you posted on the latest news or providing emergency power solutions, Power Up is here to help. If you have any questions about our charging trailers or our other products, don’t hesitate to contact us. 

As we work together to create a more sustainable future, electric vehicles are an increasingly popular choice. More and more auto manufacturers are offering fully electric and hybrid options in all shapes and sizes. Even the devastating global supply chain issues in recent years didn’t slow down the electric car market. In fact, in 2021, electric car sales grew to 6.6 million, doubling since 2020. 

Consumers opt for electric vehicles because they are more eco-friendly and cost-effective than their gas-guzzling alternatives, particularly as gas prices continue to rise. But, a big concern is being able to recharge while you’re on the go. Electric cars now represent nearly 9% of the global car market, which means that we need more charging solutions than ever before to keep up with rising demand.

Powering Up Electric Vehicles

Electric vehicle charging stations are becoming increasingly common across the country, but they are not as easy to locate as gas stations quite yet. So, what happens if you run out of power and you aren’t near a charging station?

Convenient Emergency Charging

Our Power Station portable battery offers 3kWh of power, plenty of charging capacity for electric vehicles. A rugged hardshell case and wheels allow for easy transport, and the compact profile offers convenient storage. It's safe, efficient, and easy to use: the ideal solution for electric vehicles on-the-go.

In the digital age, technology is so integrated into our daily lives that we hardly register how much we rely on electricity – until it’s gone. Power outages and other emergencies can bring entire towns and cities to a standstill. While we can’t always predict when a power outage might occur, we can prepare for them. Investing in portable batteries is a smart way to help your community stay connected when they need to most.

Stay Connected with Portable Batteries

During a natural disaster, widespread power outages can be a scary experience. In these moments, we need access to our devices to contact loved ones, stay informed as the situation develops, access bank accounts, and much more. Setting up a portable battery gives everyone the important opportunity to recharge and reconnect.

Portable batteries are also a great option for plenty of non-emergency situations. Add one to your worksite to keep equipment powered up and ready to go. Or, set up a portable battery for events in remote areas without easy access to outlets. The use cases are endless – you never know when you’ll need an extra boost.

Discover Power Up’s Power Stations

Power Up’s Power Stations are an excellent choice if you’re ready to invest in a portable battery. With extreme power output and convenient features, they are a safe, high-performance emergency power source.

Each unit delivers up to 3kWh of power, enough to power a house. If you need more, you can add and daisy-chain additional batteries. Recharging the battery is simple: just plug it into a regular AC outlet or use a solar panel for environmentally-friendly charging.

One essential aspect of any good emergency battery is portability. Our Power Stations are on wheels for easy transport to wherever you need it. Plus, the unit is built into a rugged hardshell case to protect it from the elements.

Pair It With a Battery-Powered Trailer

Our Power Stations work well as a standalone unit, but they can also be added to a Charging Trailer for an all-in-one solution. Our Charging Trailers can be set up anywhere you need additional power – at FEMA sites, outdoor events, COVID-19 testing sites, and more. Our Community Outreach Trailers can be fully customized with a spacious interior, giving community members a comfortable space to recharge.

Are you an existing Power Up customer with a trailer? We can help you enhance your existing unit with our new upgraded battery.
