Reduced battery capacity in the winter cold – a concern from the past

Today, most major cities in Norway have introduced requirements for emission-free construction and building sites. This implies a need for good all-electric solutions, which can be demanding in the cold of winter. At Pon Energy Rental, we supply battery solutions that keep your machinery at full capacity, even in the Nordic winter.   

For many years, wintertime has presented challenges for those using electric vehicles, machinery and other equipment. Batteries have had a shorter lifespan, taken longer to charge and created challenges on both roads and construction sites.   

This time is now over. At Pon Energy Rental, we provide battery banks for efficient and hassle-free charging of all types of electrical machinery, without you having to worry about delays on the jobsite. You can find out more about our battery solutions here.   

 

An enclosed climate for optimized operations 

The secret behind these batteries’ phenomenal winter performance lies in their smart and innovative design. In both electric cars and other electric machines, the battery is exposed to the outside temperature. This means that both the temperature and humidity vary greatly and affect the performance of the battery.  

The batteries supplied by us at Pon Energy Rental are placed in a controlled environment inside a container. This allows these variables to be controlled and optimized for maximum performance, regardless of external stresses such as harsh winter days. 

The cold even turns out to be an advantage for these batteries. On the very coldest winter days, when the snow winds its way around the walls of the house, less energy is required to maintain the optimal temperature in the container. For example, the climate control system uses far less energy to maintain the right temperature in cold temperatures compared to warmer temperatures.  

This not only means that the battery has optimal lifetime, performance and power in the winter cold, but it is also far more energy efficient than other solutions.

Operational safety on the construction site 

On a construction site, you rely on your batteries running smoothly – no matter the season or the temperature outside. At Pon Energy Rental, we make sure that you get a solution that gives you what you need in a simple and efficient way. 

The batteries are always connected to a power source, whether it’s grid power or another form of energy source suitable for your project. This ensures you and your employees a smooth operation without costly downtime, and proper temperature control of the battery. The temperature never drops below 12 degrees Celsius in the container, which means that the batteries always start, without any issues.   

To ensure the correct temperature and humidity in the battery at all times, the battery is connected to a standard 230V socket. This keeps the humidity at an optimal level, so that the climate in the battery is ideal. At Pon Energy Rental, all batteries are stored in this way, as this is a requirement from the manufacturer and safeguards the quality of the battery. 

 

Sustainable and efficient winter solutions 

The benefits of our batteries aren’t limited to ease of use, high efficiency and top performance. The reduced energy consumption during the cold winter months also results in battery solutions that are more environmentally friendly. Lower energy consumption means lower emissions, which is in line with our own vision of delivering sustainable yet efficient solutions.
