The Instagrid LINK package pairs the LINK smart safety power distributor with three Instagrid ONE Max portable battery units for a combined 6.3 kWh of 230V mains power. It's a silent, emission-free alternative to a small diesel generator - no engine, no fumes, no fuel to store - that you can run indoors across Sheffield, Rotherham, Doncaster, Barnsley, Worksop, Chesterfield and the rest of the UK. From £295 plus VAT.
Why battery over diesel
- Silent in use: no engine, so it works inside marquees, exhibition halls, broadcast sets and wedding venues that won't allow a diesel gen-set.
- Zero emissions: no exhaust fumes, no spill kit, no diesel storage on site.
- Hot-swap on the fly: Island Mode lets us swap ONE Max units in and out without dropping power - runtimes extend by adding batteries rather than refuelling.
- RCD-protected outputs for up to three devices from a single LINK.
Specs at a glance
- Combined capacity: 6.3 kWh (3 x 2.1 kWh Instagrid ONE Max units)
- Output: 230V AC, 3.6 kW continuous and 18 kW peak per battery
- Charge time: under 3 hours per battery from a standard 13A socket
- Build: IP54-rated, around 20 kg per unit, one-hand portable
Where we send it
We ship Instagrid kit to indoor exhibitions at the NEC in Birmingham, Manchester Central, Telford and ExCeL London - venues that don't allow diesel generators on the floor. It's equally useful for outdoor builds where running mains cable is impractical, and for film and TV work that needs silent mains away from the grid. If a single 2.1 kWh battery will cover the load, hire it on its own at Instagrid 2.1 kWh Battery Generator; for heavier 3-phase loads see the generator and safety equipment range, with 5-30 kVA diesel units alongside distribution, cabling and lighting.
Hiring from DB
The Instagrid stock is owned outright in our 25,000 sq ft warehouse near Sheffield and the M1, not sub-hired, with £5 million public liability as standard - so the kit in the gallery is the kit that turns up.
