The SHAPE Power Station 15000Wh BASECAMP was designed to provide dependable, electric battery power on location. We caught up with them at NAB 2024 to find out more information.
If you’re working on location or on any production that requires emission-free and virtually noise-free power, the BASECAMP Power Station looks to be a good solution. The BASECAMP was designed to handle any kind of weather.
The BASECAMP certainly isn:t lightweight and it tips the scales at just under 400 lbs / 181 kg. It does have wheels, but it would probably take 2-3 people to move it around.
Key features
- High internal battery storage capacity equipped with 15 kWh.
- High power inverter supporting 8 kW loading equals to a 5 HP motor.
- Supports split/single phase pure sin wave output.
- LCD screen dynamic flow chart design to facilitate understanding of system data and operating status.
- Offers a complete protection mechanism, such as short-circuit protection, over-current protection, over & under voltage protection, overload protection and other functions.
- Supports WIFI remote monitor & control.
- The product supports solar panels to charge the battery, and also supports the mains AC to charge the battery.
The BASECAMP is claimed to be safe and secure when used in production environments. SHAPE states that you can place the unit in close proximity to equipment, vehicles or even with crew without the risk of thermalscape or fire.
SHAPE states that they use sustainable manufacturing and advances in LiFePO4 battery technology to help the environment and saves money.
You can charge and schedule by utilizing the 4″ display. The touch screen displays capacity, time to empty or time to charge in real-time, along with system settings.
Speaking of charging if you utilize the 15-20A wall socket it will take around 8-9 hours. If you use the twist lock 30A input it will take around 6 hours, and if you use the joy connector 60A it will take 3 hours.
