Answers to the questions we hear most about battery power rental in NYC, plus a quick form to request a quote for your event date.
In most cases, yes. The Ultra X package handles sound, lighting, and catering equipment together for a full event day. Tell us what you're running and we'll confirm the right unit before you book.
Typically not. Because there's no fuel and no emissions, battery power stations generally avoid the permit and fire-marshal requirements that gas or diesel generators trigger. Always confirm with your specific venue.
Yes. Unlike a generator, there's no exhaust, so it's safe to run indoors.
Yes, we deliver anywhere in New York City. Pickup is also available if you'd prefer to grab it yourself.
Multi-day rentals and additional battery packs are available — reach out with your event length and load and we'll size it correctly.
Yes. Beyond drop-off rental, we offer full-service delivery, setup, operation, and an on-site crew for the duration of your event — available on request.
Both are available. With full-service power, we determine your requirements, plan the distribution, deliver, set up and test the system, provide on-site power technicians, and handle breakdown afterward. If you already know exactly what you need, battery systems are also available as straightforward equipment rentals. See how full-service works.
Critical power shouldn't depend on a single piece of equipment. Depending on the project, we can provide backup battery capacity, spare equipment, backup distribution, and redundant power solutions, plus 24/7 emergency technical support and technician dispatch.
Yes. Send us your equipment list, quantities, voltage, and expected operating time, and we'll determine the required wattage, battery capacity, runtime, 120V/240V requirements, and recommended backup capacity for you.
Yes. The Ultra X Package (12,000W continuous, roughly 24kWh capacity) has run a full concert-grade system — 12 L-Acoustics KARA line array boxes, 8 SB18 subs, amplification, FOH and monitor consoles, and stage power — for a 3-hour show plus 6 hours of rehearsal on battery power alone.
Yes, within the capacity of the unit. LED walls and moving lights can draw significant continuous power depending on size and brightness — send us the fixture list and we'll confirm the right unit or combination.
Yes. Commercial ovens, food warmers, hot boxes, and coffee equipment have run on the DELTA Pro 3 and Ultra X Package, including a full day of mobile kitchen cooking in Manhattan with no generator on site. Send your equipment list and we'll confirm capacity.
Yes, for appropriately sized loads. AC and climate equipment draw more continuously than lighting or AV, so accurate runtime planning matters — tell us the equipment and expected run time and we'll size it correctly.
Yes. The DELTA Pro 3 and Ultra X Package both support 240V loads (the Ultra X includes L14-30 and 14-50 outlets alongside 120V), in addition to standard 120V output.
Yes, for many applications — production lighting, video village, DIT and camera department power, sound carts, and select base camp needs. Because every set is different, we recommend sending your gear list so we can size the system before you're on location.
Yes, depending on the equipment inside. Restroom trailers, food trucks, and mobile kitchens typically need power in locations without a permanent hookup — send us the equipment list (pumps, lighting, refrigeration, cooking equipment) and we'll confirm the right system.
Yes, for standard site and work lighting loads. Battery-powered site lighting avoids fuel deliveries and refueling schedules — tell us the fixtures and run time and we'll size it.
It depends on your load. The Ultra X Package (~24kWh) runs a full sound system, DJ booth, and event lighting for 8 or more hours; smaller units handle lighter loads for a full event day. Use the power calculator on the specs page for a quick estimate, or send us your equipment list for an exact number.
Real feedback from planners, productions, and caterers we've powered.
Honestly, the coolest part was there were basically no cables anywhere. They put power in different areas around the property and everything just ran from there. We had power for the production, catering, bars — everything. Their guys were there the whole time and we really didn't have to think about power once.
We had a real problem with the generator. There was nowhere good to put it and the venue was giving us a hard time about where it could go. I called Quiet Power and they basically said, "Don't worry about it, we'll figure it out." They came in, looked at everything we needed to power and handled it. Huge problem off my plate.
We had an event where there just wasn't enough power available indoors. Quiet Power brought in batteries and powered the entire sound system:
This was a serious system, and everything ran seamlessly on battery power over two days, including 6 hours of rehearsals and a 3-hour show. No issues at all. It was an amazing experience.
We had a mobile kitchen job in Manhattan and putting a generator outside just wasn't an option. We had ovens, hot boxes, refrigeration, coffee — a lot of power. These guys came in with the batteries and got the whole kitchen running. We cooked all day and never had to deal with a generator. I didn't even know this was an option before.
We needed power for a coffee station in the middle of the venue and there was no good way to run cables there. Quiet Power brought us a battery and set everything up very quickly. It worked the whole event with no problems and no cables running across the room. Very helpful team and a great company to work with.
