Battery container for festivals and events: Silent power without generators

Festivals, food truck parks, pop-up events, or sports competitions: all of these temporary locations share a common requirement—they need power, and frequently in large quantities. Where diesel generators were once the standard, battery containers are increasingly being deployed. This ensures silent operation without diesel odours, providing clean power adapted to the event's requirements.

Organisers are increasingly selecting battery containers due to their simple operation, compact size, flexibility, and compatibility with solar panels or grid connections. The same technology is also widely utilised for mobile energy storage on construction sites and other temporary projects.

Organisers are increasingly selecting battery containers due to their simple operation, compact size, flexibility, and compatibility with solar panels or grid connections. The same technology is also widely utilised for mobile energy storage on construction sites and other temporary projects.

Why diesel generators are increasingly being replaced

Temporary locations traditionally rely on diesel generators for their power supply. Although they provide high power output, they also present several disadvantages: noise, emissions, odour, fuel costs, and CO₂ emissions. Additionally, they require a relatively large footprint. An increasing number of municipalities and clients now enforce emission limits through tendering and licensing conditions.

A battery container offers an alternative: silent, compact, free of direct emissions, and compatible with solar panels or the local grid. A detailed comparison of costs, sustainability, and safety is available in battery container versus diesel generator.

How a battery container works

A battery container is supplied with a pre-charged battery pack, typically utilizing lithium-ion technology. The capacity is matched to the projected energy consumption of the event. The container is connected to the site's power distribution system and delivers stable power throughout the event. Depending on the local infrastructure, some containers can be recharged on-site via solar panels or a grid connection.

Key practical benefits on-site?

  • Low noise - no engine noise, improving audio quality for performances

  • Zero local emissions - no emissions during operation, improving site air quality

  • Mobile - rapid deployment using a forklift or mobile crane

  • Reduced energy costs - electricity instead of diesel, with the ability to charge during off-peak hours; eliminates fuel logistics

  • Safe - no fuel storage on-site and zero emissions during normal operation, eliminating exhaust fumes near visitors; unlike a generator which emits continuously, any battery emissions are a residual risk monitored by gas detection systems inside the container

Scalability and flexibility of battery containers at events

Battery containers are available in various configurations, ranging from a compact 10ft unit with 1,527 kWh and 500 kW to a 20ft all-in-one unit with 2,036.8 kWh and 1,040 kW, featuring two 480 kW DC fast chargers (4x CCS2) and an input capacity of 500 kVA from the grid or a generator. These systems support projects ranging from small food truck festivals to large multi-day events with multiple stages. The modular design simplifies scaling, and real-time energy monitoring allows system sizing based on actual consumption data rather than assumptions.

Quality and safety standards

Our battery containers are tested in accordance with UL 9540A (TÜV Rheinland test report), with TÜV Nord certification for the 5ft and 10ft models. The battery cells comply with IEC 62619, and the installation meets PGS 37-1 safety guidelines, addressing compliance requirements for local safety authorities.

Frequently asked questions about battery containers at festivals

Is there a risk of fire or malfunction?

Every battery system carries a residual risk. This is small and manageable. Our systems are tested according to UL 9540A, with BMS, fire and gas detection, and installed in accordance with PGS 37-1.

How long does a battery container last on a festival day?

That depends on your demand profile. Our 10ft unit delivers 1,527 kWh at 500 kW: for a peak demand of 500 kW that translates to 3 hours, and for an average demand of 50 kW to over 30 hours. We calculate this for you in advance.

Can I link multiple containers?

Yes, for larger events, multiple containers can be deployed in parallel and managed together to provide a higher combined capacity.

Is charging via solar panels possible during the event?

Yes, the container can be recharged during the event via solar panels or a grid connection, depending on the available infrastructure on site.

What are the costs for renting a battery container for an event?

The costs depend on your energy consumption profile and the duration of your event. View the rental options and rates for concrete details, or request a quote directly.

Are battery containers permitted in every municipality?

Installation is possible almost anywhere, but is subject to permitting. From 20 kWh, PGS 37-1 applies. We provide the documentation required for this.
