Battery container rental for temporary projects

For temporary projects such as events, construction sites, or emergency power supply, renting a battery container is a viable option. Instead of a high capital investment, you utilize flexible energy storage without long-term commitments. An increasing number of organizations choose rental to manage peak loads, utilize renewable energy directly, or reduce reliance on diesel generators. This page outlines the available rental options, what to expect, and key considerations. For construction sites specifically, you can find more background information on the page regarding mobile energy storage.

When to choose renting a battery container

  • You have a short-term project - a construction site, event, or temporary charging location

  • You require flexibility - fast scaling up or down without long delivery times

  • You do not want to tie up capital in an asset that is only used briefly

  • You need to be operational quickly - rental containers are typically installed within a few days

Renting is primarily practical when the duration of use is shorter than the payback period for purchase. For structural or recurring deployment across multiple locations, purchasing is often more cost-effective; see the FAQ below for a concrete comparison. If you are renting specifically for an event or festival, you can read more about the practical aspects there.

What are the rental options for battery containers?

  • Short-term rental - from several days to a few months, for example for an event

  • Long-term rental - for projects longer than six months, such as a construction site

  • Hire purchase - for long-term deployment starting from several years, you can gradually acquire the container; for shorter projects, standard rental is the logical choice

  • Flexible rental - capacity adjustment during the term to meet changing energy demands; service, monitoring, and maintenance are generally included in the rental rate so you can focus entirely on your project.

What are the costs of renting a battery container?

Market-wide, the indicative guide price is between €1,000 and €4,000 per week, depending on size. Our rates depend on your load profile and duration, so contact us for the current pricing.

To receive a calculation for your specific situation, request a tailored quotation.

Renting versus buying a battery container: which fits your project?

  • No high initial capital expenditure

  • Flexibility to adapt to changing requirements

  • Rapid deployment without long delivery lead times

  • No responsibility for maintenance or depreciation

  • Suitable for temporary or seasonal projects

If you are undecided: renting is almost always more cost-effective for one-off or short-term projects. For structural deployment across multiple locations per year, purchasing a battery container can offer a faster return on investment.

What should you consider when renting a battery container?

  • Capacity - align the storage capacity with your maximum peak demand

  • Connectivity - verify if the container is compatible with your local infrastructure

  • Service and monitoring - inquire about included services and incident resolution

  • Transport and installation costs - sometimes included, sometimes calculated separately

  • Rental terms - pay attention to minimum rental periods and cancellation policies

Quality assurance and certification

Our battery containers are tested in accordance with UL 9540A (TÜV Rheinland test report) and the 5ft and 10ft models are TÜV Nord certified. The cells comply with IEC 62619, and the configuration follows the requirements of PGS 37-1. For a rental project, this means you deploy safe, compliant equipment accompanied by the necessary documentation.


Frequently asked questions about renting a battery container

Can I rent a battery container for a single day?

A minimum rental period of several days to a week usually applies. For a one-day event, we can discuss the shortest possible timeframe.

Is transport included in the rental price?

This varies by situation: sometimes transport is included, while other times it is calculated separately. This is always clearly specified in the quotation.

Is it possible to combine multiple containers?

Yes, for larger projects, multiple containers can be deployed in parallel and controlled together.

Do I need a permit for temporary installation?

Usually yes. From 20 kWh, PGS 37-1 applies, with requirements for separation distance, detection, and notification. We provide the documentation required for this.

Does a rented battery container have to comply with PGS 37?

Yes, the storage of lithium-ion batteries is subject to the requirements of PGS 37-1 (Hazardous Substances Publication Series). Our battery containers are designed for this and tested according to UL 9540A, with TÜV Nord certification for the 5ft and 10ft models, including the required fire safety and ventilation provisions. If you have questions about your specific location, we can provide advice.

Is monitoring included as standard?

A rental container from ChargeBlock includes basic monitoring for status and error reports as standard.

Can solar panels be integrated with a rented container?

Yes, our rental containers are prepared for integration with PV systems.

What happens if I need the container for longer than planned?

Extension of the rental period is possible in consultation at a pre-agreed rate.

If you want to know the rental costs for your project, request a quotation, and we will assist in determining the correct capacity and rental period.
