What You Need to Power

Know Your Load — Size It Right

These are the real wattage demands of commercial food truck equipment. Every system we design starts with your specific load profile.

Quick Sizing Formula

(Peak active load × active hours) + (Standby load × total service hours) × 1.3 safety factor = Minimum battery capacity needed. Example: Espresso machine (3kW active, 0.8kW standby) runs 0.65h active (making 100 shots) + 7.35h standby; Fridge (0.15kW) and POS (0.1kW) run continuously for 8 service hours. Total = (3kW × 0.65h) + (0.8kW + 0.15kW + 0.1kW) × 8h × 1.3 = (1.95kWh) + (1.05kW × 8h) × 1.3 = (1.95 + 8.4) × 1.3 ≈ 13.5 kWh minimum for a coffee truck making 100 espressos per day.

Built for Commercial Use

Why Recreational Stations Fail in Food Service

Consumer power stations are designed for weekend camping. Your food truck runs 10 hours a day, 6 days a week. That requires a completely different engineering standard.

Road Vibration Resistance

IEC 60068-2-6 vibration test: 10–500 Hz, 3G acceleration. Cell mounting isolators prevent internal damage on rough roads. Recreational units fail within months of daily driving.

High-Current Startup Loads

Commercial espresso machines, ice makers, and refrigerators draw 3–5× rated surge current on startup. Our BMS handles 3× surge without voltage collapse or protection trip.

Temperature Management

Summer service in 40°C hot-box truck conditions with active thermal management. Cold-start capability at -20°C for winter morning markets. Neither condition degrades capacity.

Daily Deep Cycle Design

6000+ cycles at 100% DoD — that's 11+ years of daily business use. Consumer stations rated at 500–800 cycles (1.5 years daily use) fail long before your loan is paid off.

Continuous-Duty Runtime

Commercial-duty rated for continuous 8–14 hour operation. Active cooling prevents thermal throttling. Recreational stations derate output after 30–60 min of heavy load.

Kitchen Environment IP Rating

IP55 sealed enclosure protects against steam, condensation, and water splashing from commercial kitchen operations — standard food-safe installation requirement.

Manufacturing Validation

Every Unit Tested for Commercial Duty

Not tested for camping. Tested for the commercial loads, environments, and daily cycles that food truck operators actually face.

Test 1 — Load Aging

500-Hour Continuous Load Test

Stable service, multi-year investment confidence
Test 2 — Cycle Life

4000+ Cycles at 100% DoD @ 25°C

11+ year battery life at daily business use
Test 3 — Surge Load Simulation

3× Rated Power Motor-Start Surge

Test 4 — Vibration & Road Shock

IEC 60068-2-6: 10–500 Hz, 3G

Safe relocation between service locations daily
Test 5 — High-Temp Chamber

Full Capacity Output at 50°C Ambient

Reliable summer operation, no thermal derating
Test 6 — Commercial Cycle Design

365-Day Yearly Business Cycle Simulation

Why TURSAN Manufacturer Control Matters

We Build It. We Own It. You Trust It.

Unlike distributors reselling white-label products, TURSAN designs every component in-house. When your coffee truck’s battery needs support, you talk to the engineers who built it.

In-House BMS Design

Our proprietary BMS firmware is tuned specifically for commercial load profiles — not adapted from EV or telecom designs. Over-charge protection calibrated for alternator charging scenarios.

Controlled Cell Sourcing

CATL, BYD, EVE, CALB Grade-A cells with <2% variance. Traceability from cell batch to finished unit. No mystery cells, no compromised supply chain.

Firmware Tuned for Commercial Loads

Surge tolerance, thermal management thresholds, and SoC algorithms calibrated for espresso machine and compressor motor start patterns.

Spare Parts & Serviceability

FRU (Field Replaceable Units): battery modules, BMS boards, inverter assemblies. Service kit and regional depot support. Don't lose a business day to sourcing parts.

Custom OEM Configurations

Voltage, capacity, enclosure form factor, display interface, connector types — all configurable. Minimum 20-unit OEM runs with your brand. CE, UL, FCC certification support included.

"We switched from a diesel generator to a TURSAN 20 kWh system in March. The city square market we'd been trying to get a spot at for two years finally approved us — generators are banned there. We now run 5 days a week at that location. Our morning setup starts at 5 AM without any noise complaints. The espresso quality improved because the voltage is rock-solid. Our daily revenue went up because customers linger longer without the generator noise."

— Mobile Coffee Operator, European Fleet Customer (switched from 3kW diesel to TURSAN 20 kWh system)

Result: Access to premium generator-banned location + quieter environment → higher daily revenue
Frequently Asked Questions

Questions From Real Food Truck Operators

Our lead engineers respond to technical inquiries within 4 business hours. Here are the questions we hear most from food service buyers.

Can I use a solar generator to run my food truck or coffee cart fully off-grid?

Yes. A commercial-grade LiFePO4 system (10–30 kWh depending on your load) paired with rooftop solar panels or overnight AC shore charging can fully power a coffee cart or food truck for an entire business day. TURSAN systems are specifically load-tested for commercial kitchen surge demands, including espresso machines and refrigeration compressors. Free load calculation provided with every inquiry.

A typical food truck consuming 15–25 kWh/day needs 4–8× 400W panels (1,600–3,200W array). With 5–6 peak sun hours, this generates 8–19 kWh/day. We recommend a hybrid approach: solar during the day + overnight AC shore charging for guaranteed next-day readiness regardless of weather. Our MPPT solar controller maximizes harvest efficiency.

For a 20 kWh TURSAN system, a 3–5 kW generator is sufficient for emergency backup charging (not primary power). The battery handles peak surge loads; the generator simply recharges at a steady rate. This means a much smaller, quieter, cheaper generator than you’d need for direct operation — or eliminate the generator entirely with solar + shore charging.

Yes — this is specifically why operators switch to battery systems. A 20+ kWh LiFePO4 system covers most single-day events. For multi-day festivals, overnight AC shore power or a compact solar array tops up the system. Our systems include auto-recharge scheduling and remote SoC monitoring via app so you always know your next-day capacity.

Common installation locations: under-counter, cargo floor-mount, or chassis underbody. Our compact modules fit in a 40×60 cm footprint (Tier 1). All units ship with adjustable mounting brackets and vibration-isolation padding certified for road travel. IP55 rating protects against kitchen steam and water splash. We provide installation guides and can connect you with regional installers.

Yes. MOQ starts at 20 units for branded enclosures. We offer custom voltage configurations (12V/24V/48V), display interfaces, power output levels (3–15 kW), enclosure form factors (under-counter, rackmount, portable), and full certification packages (UL 1973, CE, FCC, UN38.3). Sample lead time: 15 days. Production lead time: 25–35 days after sample approval. Contact our OEM team for a custom spec sheet.

Consumer power stations are built for occasional camping use (500–800 cycles) — not daily 8–14 hour commercial operation. TURSAN commercial systems feature:
• 4,000–6,000 cycles (11+ years daily use) vs 500–800 consumer cycles
• 3× surge capacity for motor startup vs consumer 1.5–2× surge
• Active thermal management preventing output derating under sustained load
• IP55 enclosure for commercial kitchen environments
• FRU serviceability — replaceable modules, not disposable units

Standard certifications: UL 1973, UN 38.3 (air/sea/ground transport), CE, FCC, IEC 62619, RoHS. EU market units include additional IEC safety standards. Custom certification packages available for OEM orders including AS/NZS (Australia/New Zealand), PSE (Japan), and BIS (India). All units include full documentation for customs clearance (DGR, MSDS/SDS, IATA-compliant).
