Lithium Ion portable power pack for UtilityLite LED lighting reels and TrenchLite, delivering up to 12.5 hours of continuous illumination from a 1280Wh charge without a mains connection or generator. The waterproof hardcase protects the cells and electronics against moisture and impact on an active construction site, while the integrated power display confirms remaining charge at a glance. A 240V mains charger is included for straightforward overnight recharging between deployments.
Why a hardcase matters for a portable power pack on site
Consumer-grade portable power stations use polycarbonate or ABS shells rated for incidental indoor use at best. On a construction site, these crack under minor impact, admit moisture in wet conditions, and fail within weeks. A failed power pack mid-shift means lights out for the UtilityLite reel, and no fallback if the site has no mains connection to switch to. The waterproof hardcase on this pack is built for site conditions. It protects the lithium cells and display electronics against knocks, drops, and rain, so the pack performs reliably throughout the project.
Key Features
-
1280Wh / 25.6V / 50Ah capacity: At 1280Wh, the pack delivers up to 12.5 hours of continuous lighting through a 15m+ UtilityLite LED reel on a single charge. That covers a full shift and extends into a second period before recharging is needed.
-
Waterproof hardcase: Construction-grade protection for the cells and electronics against moisture, dust, and the minor impacts routine on a live site. Purpose-built for the demands of outdoor site deployment.
-
Integrated power display: The display shows remaining charge without disconnecting or estimating. Site managers can plan recharging before the shift ends rather than reacting when the lights dim.
-
CE, LVD, and EMC certified: Fully certified for professional use. The certification combination covers electrical safety (LVD), electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), and general product compliance (CE).
-
Compatible with UtilityLite 15m+ LED reels and TrenchLite: Confirmed compatible across the UtilityLite lighting range. The reel is sold separately.
-
240V mains charger included: No additional accessories to source. Plug into a 240V socket overnight and the pack is ready for the next deployment.

Who is this for
Site managers and civils operatives running UtilityLite LED reels on sites without mains power access. The power pack removes the need for a generator, a transformer supply, or a cable run from a power source, giving the UtilityLite reel full operational flexibility on any site regardless of infrastructure. It is equally suited to highway works on road closures, trenching operations with TrenchLite, and any remote or off-grid site phase where mains lighting would require significant additional setup.
Typical applications
-
Powering UtilityLite 15m+ LED reels on remote or off-grid civil engineering and groundwork sites without mains power access.
-
Running TrenchLite for trenching and drainage operations where cable runs to a mains supply are impractical.
-
Providing independent lighting power on highway works and road closure operations without a generator.
-
Overnight or multi-shift lighting on phased construction sites where mains power has not yet been established.
-
Emergency lighting backup on sites where the main supply is interrupted and the UtilityLite reel is the primary illumination source.
How to use
Step 1: Confirm the power pack is fully charged before deployment. The integrated power display shows remaining charge on the front of the hardcase.
Step 2: Connect the UtilityLite 15m+ LED reel or TrenchLite to the power pack output.
Step 3: Switch on and confirm the LED reel is operating correctly.
Step 4: Monitor the power display during the shift. A full charge provides up to 12.5 hours of continuous output with a 15m+ UtilityLite reel.
Step 5: At the end of the shift, disconnect the reel and connect the included 240V mains charger to recharge the pack overnight ready for the next deployment.
Common mistakes
-
Deploying without checking the remaining charge on the display: a partially charged pack will not deliver the full 12.5-hour runtime. Check the display before the shift starts and recharge if necessary.
-
Using with products not confirmed compatible: the pack is specified for UtilityLite 15m+ LED reels and TrenchLite. Using with other products at 25.6V should be confirmed with CMT Group before attempting.
-
Leaving uncharged for extended storage: lithium Ion cells benefit from being stored at a partial charge level rather than fully depleted. Recharge to approximately 50% before extended storage periods.
Safety
The power pack uses Lithium Ion rechargeable cells. Do not expose to extreme heat, puncture, or crush. Do not attempt to open the hardcase or access the cells. Use only the included 240V mains charger for recharging. Do not use a charger not supplied or approved for this product. If the hardcase shows signs of damage, swelling, or excessive heat during charging, disconnect immediately and do not use.
Maintenance
Wipe the hardcase exterior with a dry cloth after use on muddy or wet sites. Inspect the output connector and charging port for debris or damage before each use. Store in a dry location when not deployed. Recharge between deployments and before extended storage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which UtilityLite products does this power pack work with?
A: The power pack is confirmed compatible with UtilityLite 15m+ LED reels and the TrenchLite. The UtilityLite LED reel is sold separately. Confirm compatibility with CMT Group before using with other products at 25.6V that are not part of the UtilityLite range.
Q: How long does the power pack last on a full charge?
A: Up to 12.5 hours of continuous lighting when powering a UtilityLite 15m+ LED reel on a full 1280Wh charge. Runtime will vary if the power draw of the connected product differs. The integrated power display shows remaining charge so the pack can be monitored throughout the shift.
Q: How does the hardcase differ from a consumer portable power station?
A: Consumer portable power stations use polycarbonate or ABS shells rated for light indoor use. On a construction site, moisture ingress and minor impacts from dropped tools or plant contact cause these to fail within weeks. The waterproof hardcase on this pack is purpose-built for site conditions, protecting the lithium cells and display electronics against moisture, dust, and knocks throughout a project.
Q: Is the UtilityLite reel included?
A: No. The power pack is sold separately from the UtilityLite LED reel. The reel must be ordered alongside as a separate product. CMT Group can supply both on the same order with next-day delivery on stocked lines.
Q: How do I recharge the pack?
A: Connect the included 240V mains charger to any standard 240V socket. The charger is included with the pack and no additional accessories are required. Recharge overnight between deployments. Charging time is subject to confirmation before publishing.
Q: What certifications does this power pack carry?
A: The pack is CE, LVD (Low Voltage Directive), and EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) certified. The LVD certification covers electrical safety for the lithium cells and output circuit. EMC certification confirms the pack does not interfere with other electronic equipment on site. CE marking confirms overall product compliance for the UK and European market.
