The Only Place in Ireland you can hire a 40 kWh Road-Towable Battery Power Pack

If you’ve ever gone down the rabbit hole of searching for a serious mobile battery power pack in Ireland, you already know the feeling: frustration, confusion, over-priced “camping power stations,” and about three YouTube reviews filmed in someone’s shed. You might even end up wondering if Ireland is stuck 15 years behind everyone else when it comes to modern backup power.

But then you discover something wild…
There is a place offering a 40 kWh, road-towable, 7.5 kVA continuous, run-your-whole-house-for-3-days battery power pack right here in Dublin.

And it’s not a giant corporation.
It’s A-Z Hire.

Let’s break down why this piece of equipment is such a game changer — and why it’s genuinely shocking that more people don’t know it exists.

Why This Battery Power Pack Is So Rare in Ireland

Well most “portable power stations” on the Irish market are fine for charging phones, maybe running a kettle for 10 minutes… and that’s about it. They’re power banks with handles.

What is this thing?
It is a fully engineered power solution designed for:

  • Whole-home backup

  • Construction sites

  • Remote work

  • Outdoor events

  • Film sets

  • Off-grid cabins

  • Emergency storm protection

  • EV charging backup

  • Tool hire customers who want silent, clean power

And the best part?
It’s road-towable.
As in: hitch it to your van, drive away, job done.

You’re not lugging around 70kg.
You’re towing a mini-power station.

It Runs a Standard Irish Home for Up to 3 Days — No Recharging Needed

This isn’t some makeuppy marketing claim.
It’s real maths.

The average Irish home uses roughly 11 kWh per day.
This unit stores 40 kWh.

So with 37kWh useable:
37 ÷ 11 = 3.3 days.

So you can run what’s important  —  fridge, lights, router, TV, chargers — you still get multiple full days of silence, safety, and reliability.

As someone who has lived through power cuts where the whole family huddles around candlelight and debates whether the fridge food is “still fine,” let me tell you: three days of confidence is priceless. If you turn off unnecessary items your battery will last for longer.

The Value Is in What You Avoid Paying

A standard diesel generator costs around €15 per hour to run.
If you run that for 76 hours, you’ve just spent €1,140…
…on noise
…on fumes
…on maintenance
…and on burning money.

A battery pack?
It costs around €20 to recharge.
That’s it. Charge with a 3 pin plug or use your home EV charger to recharge

Imagine running your house for three days at a cost lower than a Domino’s order.

That’s the competitive edge.
And A-Z Hire is one of the only suppliers in Ireland offering this scale of battery storage for both hire and sale.

The Road-Towable Advantage Nobody Talks About

There are “portable” systems, and then there are portable systems.

The difference?

Portability = 70kg and back pain.
Tow-ability = 740kg and zero pain.

This unit is built on a proper chassis, fully tow-legal, and designed for:

  • Construction crews moving between sites

  • Homeowners needing emergency backup

  • Event organisers needing silent power

  • Tradespeople who refuse to drag around noisy generators

It’s not a gadget.
It’s industrial-grade infrastructure on wheels.

Why You Can Only Get It at A-Z Hire in Walkinstown

Here’s the twist…:
Sometimes a business simply sees the future before everyone else.

A-Z Hire, already well known for tool hire in Dublin and as the EcoYOKE designer, spotted the shift earlier than most.

Ireland is moving away from:

❌ noise
❌ fumes
❌ diesel dependency
❌ high running costs
❌ maintenance headaches

And toward:

✅ silent power
✅ clean energy
✅ mobile battery storage
✅ lower operating costs
✅ reliable home backup
✅ fast deployment during emergencies

This 40 kWh power pack fits perfectly into that future — and A-Z Hire has this available to hire in Dublin before everyone else.

Who Actually Needs This? (More People Than You Think)

Homeowners

Storm season?
ESB outages?
Heat pump concerns?
Freezers thawing?

This solves all of it.

Tradespeople

Run tools all day with zero fumes:
Saws, drills, SDS hammers, lighting, welders, mixers — everything.

Construction Sites

Especially in Dublin where noise complaints come faster than concrete sets.

Film & Media

They always need silent power.

Outdoor Events

Weddings, markets, food trucks — silence is golden.

Rural or Off-Grid Customers

A godsend.

The Bottom Line

This isn’t “just” a battery.
It’s a mobile power revolution.
And right now, the only practical place in Ireland where you can buy or hire a 40 kWh road-towable unit is A-Z Hire.

You won’t see these in B&Q.
You won’t see these in electrical wholesalers.
You won’t see these on Amazon.

They’re rare.
They’re powerful.
And they unlock a level of freedom, safety, and cost-saving that diesel simply can’t match.

The Best Bit:

You can recharge this beast with an EV charger and it comes on a trailer which you don’t need a license to tow
