Hybrid Tool Charging Station

On-Site Tool Charging, Exactly Where It’s Needed

Charge Pod - Hybrid Power for Electric Tools & Equipment

The Charge Pod is a self-powered, mobile hybrid tool charging solution designed to keep battery-powered tools and devices charged directly at the point of work. Built by AJC Power Solutions, the Charge Pod reduces downtime, cuts emissions, and removes the need for temporary electrics and trailing cables across site.

Ideal for construction, infrastructure, utilities, rail and event environments, the Charge Pod improves productivity while supporting cleaner, safer and more efficient worksites.

Self-Powered Hybrid Charging – No Plug-In Required

The Charge Pod operates using an autonomous hybrid power system, combining:

  • Solar PV power
  • Integrated battery storage
  • Backup HVO-compatible generator

The built-in Ecosmart system intelligently manages energy between solar, battery and backup power, while the Autosmart control system ensures fully automatic operation. Simply switch on and use — no user intervention required.

Charge Tools Where the Work Happens

By positioning a Charge Pod close to active work areas, teams can charge tools without returning to a central compound. This delivers:

  • Increased productivity
  • Reduced walking time and tool downtime
  • Fewer temporary power cables on site
  • Safer, tidier work areas

Perfect for battery-powered tools, handheld devices, radios, tablets and site equipment.

Secure Multi-Locker Charging System

Locker features include:

  • Two 230V 3-pin sockets per locker
  • Two USB charging ports per locker
  • Waterproof, rubber-sealed doors
  • Vandal-resistant steel construction
  • Key or keypad access options
  • Optional larger lockers

Each locker is designed to withstand harsh site conditions while keeping tools secure, dry and charging efficiently.

Lower Emissions, Lower Fuel Costs

By harvesting free solar energy, the Charge Pod significantly reduces generator runtime, fuel consumption and CO2 emissions compared to traditional charging solutions.

Key sustainability benefits:

  • Reduced diesel or HVO use
  • Lower operating costs
  • Reduced site noise
  • Supports net-zero and sustainability targets

Every Charge Pod has standard features that set it apart from the rest.

Operator - Useful Specifications

> Key Features / As standard

Every Charge Pod has standard features that set it apart from the rest.

Plug & Play Automatic Operation

Just add fuel, plug in and use. The onboard Victron Systems manage power automatically. Remote control and monitoring.

Hybrid Power

Lithium batteries are part of the power system, keeping generator use to a minimum.

Solar Power Input

Roof mounted solar panels speed up battery charging.

Ultra-low Emissions

The hybrid system reduces generator runtime. Ultra-low emissions with HVO fuel.

Low Noise Levels

Soundproofed generator box. Reduced generator runtime with the hybrid system. Generator runs only to charge batteries or cope with power demand spikes.

Fully galvanised

Built for a tough life. Galvanized unique, high strength, composite panels and chassis. Resistant to vandals, road shocks, water & rust.

Mains Power Override

(OPTIONAL) Plug in mains power to bypass the generator, use mains for backup and charging only.

230v dual sockets / 2x USB per locker

Perfect for tool charging and device charging.

6kVA HVO & Multi-Fuel Compatible (Stage V Compliant)

The Charge Pod features a built-in Stage V NRMM compliant generator (Regulation 2016/1628) with advanced particulate and NOx filtration.

Compatible fuel types include:

  • Standard Diesel: EN590 / BS 2869 A1 or A2
  • Biodiesel B5 (EN14212)
  • HVO (EN15940)
  • GTL & BTL (EN15940)

This flexibility allows operators to transition to cleaner fuels without changing equipment.
