No Generator Needed With Power Storage Systems FARM SHOP Maintenance 30-3-11 Plug in and go to work anywhere without a noisy generator with these new Power Storage Systems. The compact battery units make it easy to take your power with you and they're easy to recharge. The Journeyman II weighs in at 165 lbs. and stores 200 Ahr (Amp Hours) of electricity, while the Professional II at 280 lbs. stores 400 Ahr. Batteries are normally measured at a 20-hour rate, so a 400-Ahr battery can supply 20 amps per hour for 20 hours at 80 degrees.
"We provide power anytime, anywhere," says Michael Breen, Xtreme Power Solutions. "For someone who needs mobile power daily, they will pay for themselves in less than a year just in generator fuel costs alone. They don't require any maintenance either."
Both units are quickly recharged, either with household current (4 to 5 hours for the Journeyman) or with a special alternator installed in a van or pickup (less than an hour of driving or engine running time).
"One guy can work all day on the power from the Journeyman, doing welding or using a compressor, while the Professional will power a four man crew for 8 hours," says Breen. He notes the smaller unit should be ideal for most farmers and ranchers needing power for an hour or two at a time.
The Journeyman can be mounted in the box of a pickup for about $3,000 including the cost of the alternator. A portable unit without the alternator sells for $2,500. The Professional is $5,000 including the alternator.
While the power is available at 115-volt AC thanks to the inverter, it can also be tapped as DC current. Extreme Power Solutions offers a set of portable, high intensity lights for use with the systems.
"They can provide the equivalent of two 1,000-watt Halogen lights for a couple of hours," says Breen. "A single guy can light up a worksite with construction level lighting. They are DC powered, so they are more efficient."
