MAXIMISING
BATTERY POTENTIAL

Developed with remote or off-grid locations in mind, the EqLab Portable Powerbank is ideally suited to construction sites, remote operations, and outdoor events. It ensures dependable power wherever it is required by removing the need for a direct electrical supply, thereby facilitating flexibility and reduced operational costs. It also provides a workable solution for noise-sensitive areas, such as residential neighbourhoods, thanks to its quiet operation and low environmental impact.

Several features of the Vanguard 48V 1.5kWh swappable commercial battery made it the right choice for the EqLab Portable Powerbank. Vanguard batteries come with a market-leading 8-year global warranty**, providing long-term assurance and support for rental companies. They are also known for their high performance and uninterrupted operation in demanding environments, such as construction sites. Vanguard’s unique swappable battery allows for quick and easy battery changes, delivering reduced downtime, improved productivity, and an indefinite operational time. Combined with efficient resource reallocation, these features come together to deliver streamlined operations and a reduced total cost of ownership.  

“If you have the Vanguard Si1.5 battery then you already have the power; the EqLab Portable Powerbank simply provides the power outlet wherever you are. The idea was to be cost-effective and enhance efficiency by allowing the battery to be used for other applications, making this product an ideal option for rental companies.”

Anders Olsson, Owner and Founder of EqLab AB

The Portable Powerbank has a particular appeal for any rental companies, and their customers, who already have Vanguard batteries in their inventory, as it immediately diversifies their potential use. The efficient utilisation of existing resources is a priority for rental businesses and the Powerbank inverter delivers exactly this by making the Vanguard Si1.5 even more multi-purpose. While the development and design phases of the EqLab Portable Powerbank were completed quickly, significant time was invested in testing and certification. For seamless integration, the Powerbank inverter’s compatibility with Vanguard battery packs was first ensured. Following this, continuous monitoring of performance and usage identified any areas for further optimisation or efficiency improvements. Finally, rigorous testing and certification validated the EqLab Portable Powerbank for high performance and safety standards.

Paul Bramhall, Director of Electrification/Rental EMEA at Briggs & Stratton says, “The EqLab Portable Powerbank is an innovative solution that leverages Vanguard battery power and puts it to further use when it is not required for an application. The Vanguard 48V 1.5kWh swappable commercial battery can already be used in multiple applications from diverse brands and the development of the Powerbank takes this flexibility one step further, making it even more useful on the jobsite. Coupled with the EqLab Powerbank inverter, the Vanguard battery’s reliability, durability and 8-year warranty make the EqLab Portable Powerbank an enormously beneficial power solution especially for the rental market.”
