Although many sports clubhouses, changing rooms and pavilions are connected to mains electricity, many are in remote rural locations and do not have such luxuries and they are unlikely to ever achieve this given the exorbitant costs involved in connecting to the grid.
Some are powered with petrol generators, but these have a huge impact on the relaxing quiet enjoyment of the facilities. An increasing number of clubs and societies and individuals are attracted to the idea of bringing in electricity ‘in a box’ for the events that take place. This solution is in the form of portable power stations which are ultra safe, very quiet and are a simple ‘plug and play’ solution.
Portable power stations are rugged portable electrical storage devices which can supply both DC and AC electricity in a handy and safe manner. You simply charge your station up at home via mains AC power, charge it up on the way via alternator charge in your vehicle or hook it up to portable solar panels. Charging via mains AC power is obviously the quickest (with a full charge taking under an hour) and solar is the slowest.
The handy supply of portable electricity in small remote sports clubhouses or pavilions allows you to charge phones, electrical devices, provide light, and can, depending on the size help you boil water for hot drinks and even cook / reheat food. They are easy to handle with rugged integrated handles generally weighing anything around 15 – 20kg for the most suitable models so are an easy one-person lift.
People who use sport changing huts or clubhouses, generally look for the mid sized EcoFlow Delta range as this has the balance of appropriate capacity and cost and portability. These can supply anywhere from 1050 watts up to 2400watts although the range is modular and can even go up to 12000-watt capacity if required.
EcoFlow is the leading manufacturer of portable power stations, and their excellent design and durability has meant they are easily the market leaders in lots of countries worldwide.
