Take It Inside; Take It Outside
PowerSTAT being ported
Use PowerSTAT to provide 120-volt AC power indoors, where generators cannot run safely. The weather resistant case allows for outdoor operation as well.
Quiet Operation
PowerSTAT produces virtually no noise when it is charging up or providing power.
Pure AC Electrical Output
Run microprocessor-based devices such as computers and even sensitive medical equipment on PowerSTAT’s pure sine-wave output.
Fresh Air
 
No fossil fuels are utilized, so there is no exhaust or pollution produced. Plug in PowerSTAT to recharge it.
The Fuel is Electricity
PowerSTAT can function in emergencies when electricity is available but fuels such as gasoline or diesel are in short supply.
High Capacity
Power a computer, refrigeration equipment or telecommunications gear for up to a day, or even more, due to PowerSTAT’s robust 160-AH battery pack and 1800-watt output. Runtime depends upon the total wattage of the equipment that’s plugged in.  
Fast Turnaround
 
PowerSTAT recharges fully in about 10 hours at any standard AC outlet (20A circuit). Much less time is required if the unit is only partially discharged. This means you can shuttle multiple units from powered to unpowered locations in an emergency to maintain the operation of mission-critical equipment.  
Backup Power
 
PowerSTAT can serve as an online power backup for key equipment. Should AC power drop, PowerSTAT kicks in instantly to maintain the equipment’s operation. When AC power is restored, PowerSTAT will charge its batteries automatically to get ready for the next use.  
Better than a Generator
 
Unlike many generators, PowerSTAT always starts. Its power output lacks the noise inherent in electricity from generators that can cause hum and static in electronic equipment. Its cost to operate is almost zero, since expensive petroleum products are not required. And run-time can be substantially longer than many generators, which are limited by the size of their fuel tanks.
