Zero-Emission Battery Generator Fuels Emergency Response Teams

Kraken Instagrid

Kraken Power’s instagrid battery generator was launched into the U.S. first responder market at FDIC 2023, in Indianapolis. The revolutionary new extreme power system used by firefighters and emergency response teams was welcomed by global attendees, as a portable, clean, silent, lightweight, and maintenance-free replacement to gas generators.

Kraken//instagrid is set to transform the way first responders deploy essential AC power needs at their missions. The new energy technology was developed by a team of experts with extensive experience in designing portable high-power battery systems. Kraken is now offering this cutting-edge technology as the latest addition to the firefighting arsenal.

“The Kraken//instagrid is a game-changer for first responders,” said Zach Allen, CEO of Kraken Power “We’re proud to be at the forefront of innovation in the emergency response industry and are confident that this tool will help to save lives and property in emergency situations and make for a safer environment at the fireground and beyond.”

The world’s most powerful portable power system for first responders, Kraken//instagrid requires no fuel and generates no harmful fumes like typical gas or diesel generators.  Now, emergency response teams can have grid-quality electricity always at all times, in a portable platform. With Kraken//instagrid’s technology and the system’s modular design, you have electricity available in any off-grid location in a portable format; Kraken//instagrid weighs only 44 lbs. With extremely high peak power (10,000 W) and system robustness (IP54+ rating), you can power all your tools with Kraken//instagrid, and basically work anywhere you need to.

TAKE IT ANYWHERE

Especially when the mission takes place far away from the power grid or the emergency vehicle, this is often a challenge. Pulling long cables is not only time-consuming, time that is then lacking in the field, but the cables themselves increase the risk of tripping accidents. Fossil fuel-powered generators, on the other hand, are heavy, clunky, and noisy – and can be hugely disruptive to communications during operations. Generators weighing 130-100 lbs. often have to be carried by two emergency personnel. The low weight of a Kraken//instagrid of only 44 lbs. allows it to be carried single-handed by one person, even over distances. This makes it possible to set up a live infrastructure at the site of operation in no time at all.

Kraken//instagrid is also incredibly durable and can withstand tough conditions on the fireground.  Its unique design makes it truly portable and can power many different tools such as scene lighting, command operations equipment, fans, pumps, rescue tools, and other high-power-consuming tools. It can power many tools all day and can be fully recharged in about 2 ½ hours.

The team behind the Kraken//instagrid believes that this innovative energy system has the potential to revolutionize the way that front-line personnel deploy power generation for emergency operations. They are excited to see the impact that it will have on communities around the world.
