The DyMac PortaGrid 3600W is a rugged, professional-grade portable battery power station designed to operate demanding 230V tools and equipment without the noise, fumes or fuel requirements of a conventional generator.
Delivering 3,600W of continuous power, an exceptional 20,000W peak output and 2,304Wh of battery storage, the PortaGrid provides serious portable power in a compact 24kg unit.
Available in Dublin from A-Z Hire, the PortaGrid is ideal for construction contractors, tradespeople, facilities teams, film and television productions, events, emergency services and anyone requiring reliable 230V power away from the mains.
Many portable power stations are designed primarily for camping, charging phones or running small household appliances. The PortaGrid is engineered for more demanding professional applications.
Its exceptionally high peak output allows it to handle the initial power surge required by equipment such as compressors, pumps, welding machines and certain high-powered construction tools.
Key advantages include:
The PortaGrid can provide portable 230V electricity in locations where a conventional fuel generator would be noisy, inconvenient or unsuitable.
There is no engine to start, no fuel to transport and no exhaust fumes produced while operating. This makes it particularly valuable for indoor work, occupied buildings, residential areas, hospitals, schools, film sets and noise-sensitive locations.
Simply charge the unit from a suitable mains supply and take reliable battery power directly to the job.
The DyMac PortaGrid 3600W can be used across a wide range of professional and commercial environments, including:
Equipment suitability and operating time will depend on its starting load, continuous power consumption and the total energy required.
With its rugged enclosure, compact dimensions and IP54 rating, the PortaGrid is designed for use in demanding working environments.
Unlike many domestic portable power stations, it combines a relatively compact battery capacity with extremely high instantaneous output. This means it can start equipment with heavy surge requirements without needing a much larger and heavier battery generator.
Its two integrated carrying handles make the 24kg unit practical to move between vehicles, work areas and floors of a building.
The PortaGrid operates at less than 30dB and uses natural internal cooling, removing the need for a constantly running cooling fan.
This makes it an excellent portable power solution for:
Because it produces no exhaust emissions at the point of use, it offers a major advantage over petrol and diesel generators. Appropriate site ventilation and electrical safety procedures must still be followed for any connected equipment.
The PortaGrid can be fully recharged in less than 2.5 hours using a suitable 230V mains supply. Its maximum charging input is 1,200W, with charging efficiency of up to 97%.
The ten-level LED battery display allows the operator to quickly check the remaining charge before and during use. Bluetooth and app-based monitoring provide additional visibility over the unit’s condition and performance.
The PortaGrid has a rated battery capacity of 2,304Wh. Actual operating time depends on the power consumed by the connected equipment, its duty cycle and normal conversion losses.
Approximate theoretical examples before allowing for system losses include:
| Connected load | Approximate maximum runtime |
|---|---|
| 100W | 23 hours |
| 250W | 9 hours |
| 500W | 4.6 hours |
| 1,000W | 2.3 hours |
| 2,000W | 1.15 hours |
| 3,600W | 38 minutes |
Tools such as breakers, saws, pumps and compressors frequently operate intermittently rather than continuously. Their real working time may therefore be longer than a calculation based solely on their maximum rated wattage.
Contact A-Z Hire with the equipment you intend to operate and we can help determine whether the PortaGrid is suitable.

It can operate equipment requiring up to 3,600W of continuous power, subject to the tool’s starting current, operating characteristics and connection requirements.
The 20,000W peak capability is particularly useful for equipment that draws a short surge of current when starting. However, peak power is not the same as continuous output, so every application should be checked against the equipment manufacturer’s rating.
For unusual or particularly demanding equipment, speak to the A-Z Hire team before purchasing.

Yes. “Battery generator” is a commonly searched term for this type of equipment, although the PortaGrid does not generate electricity itself. It is a rechargeable portable battery power station that stores electricity and supplies 230V AC power without running a combustion engine.
No. It is rechargeable from a suitable electrical supply and does not require petrol or diesel to operate.
Its quiet operation and absence of exhaust emissions at the point of use make it particularly suitable for many indoor applications. The connected tool or appliance must also be suitable for the location and used in accordance with relevant safety instructions.
The PortaGrid carries an IP54 rating, meaning it is protected against limited dust ingress and water spray. It should not be submerged or treated as completely waterproof.
It provides a stable 230V pure sine-wave output, making it suitable for a wide variety of tools, appliances and electronic equipment within its stated limits.
