Revolutionizing Film Sets with Battery Generators

Dave Rosen: Hello, this is Dave Rosen, CEO and technical producer at Absolute Media Labs and Absolute Rentals, and on the phone with me today I have Rachael Hastings Adair, an elite director of photography, jib operator, cam op, and producer who brings unmatched field expertise to our workflow.

Rachael Hastings Adair: Thanks, Dave. It’s great to dive into the cutting-edge tech we’re deploying on professional sets right now.

Dave Rosen: Exactly. Today, we’re talking about the massive industry shift toward large-capacity battery systems replacing traditional fuel-burning generators. Rachael, you’ve actually worked on sets where batteries completely ran the show, right?

Rachael Hastings Adair: Absolutely. We ran an entire production powered entirely by batteries, with portable solar panels handling the recharging in the field. From honey wagons and wardrobe trailers to all our heavy-draw lighting fixtures, everything ran silently off big battery banks with zero emissions and zero generator noise.

Dave Rosen: That’s the ultimate green initiative for modern film sets. And to make sure our clients have access to this revolutionary gear, Absolute Rentals has an ever-growing inventory of battery generators ready to support everything from indie shoots to major feature films, live streams, and large-scale commercial events.

Sizing Up Your Production Power

Dave Rosen: Let’s look at what it takes to power a serious, mid-to-large-size production package. Rachael, walk us through a typical heavy lighting load.

Rachael Hastings Adair: If we’re setting up a robust package to run a solid 6-hour burn time—factoring in downtime during setup and adjustments—we’re looking at driving major fixtures:

  • A Nanlux 1200B

  • A Nanlux Evoke 2400B

  • A Nanlux Dyno 1200C

  • A set of eight 4-foot PavoTubes that need regular recharging

  • Camera batteries, video village monitors, and crew device charging

Dave Rosen: Running all of that gear pulls close to 5,800 watts continuously. To sustain that kind of power draw for a solid 6-hour window, you need a robust total capacity of around 35 kilowatt-hours.

The Ultimate Industrial Solution

Rachael Hastings Adair: How do we achieve that kind of horsepower on location using top-tier industry hardware like the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra ecosystem?

Dave Rosen: It’s completely streamlined.

  • To hit that 35 kilowatt-hour threshold, you deploy six EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra units, which link together to deliver roughly 37 kilowatt-hours of total capacity.

  • Each standalone unit provides about 6 kilowatt-hours, and at roughly $4,200 per unit, the core power setup comes to $25,200.

  • Pairing them with heavy-duty, off-road pneumatic-tired carts built for rough terrain adds about $500 per cart, bringing the total equipment investment to $28,200.

Rachael Hastings Adair: That is an incredible, scalable investment for broadcast trucks, mobile production packs, and high-end rental houses. And because Absolute Rentals keeps these cutting-edge systems primed on our shelves, our clients don’t have to guess—they get turnkey, field-tested power solutions delivered straight to set.

Dave Rosen: That’s what we do best. Whenever you’re ready to upgrade your next production with silent, emission-free power, Absolute Rentals has your back.
