Applications
SBS power packs are deployed across the upstream and midstream — on multi-well pads, pipeline right-of-ways, and remote telemetry sites across the Permian, Bakken, Eagle Ford, and the North Slope.
Well Sites
Rod-pump, ESP, gas-lift, and plunger-lift artificial-lift systems depend on battery-backed power for controllers, VFDs, and chemical-injection pumps. SBS packs ride through generator start-up and brown-outs without dropping the controller.
Typical loads
- Lift controllers (ROD, ESP, gas-lift, plunger)
- Variable-frequency drives (VFDs)
- Chemical injection pumps (12V / 24V DC)
- Tank-level and pump-off sensors
Runtime
12–96 hours on a fully configured rod-pump site, depending on duty cycle and solar supplementation.

SCADA & Telemetry Masters
Pad-master RTUs, LACT skids, and flow computers need continuous power with sub-second switchover. SBS packs are the primary source for many of our customers, with the grid or generator as the secondary.
Typical loads
- Pad-master RTUs (e.g. ABB, Emerson, Schneider)
- LACT (lease automatic custody transfer) skids
- Flow computers and chromatographs
- Cellular / licensed-radio backhaul modems
Runtime
Sized for 7-day unattended operation between site visits, with N+1 redundancy on critical pads.

Remote Telemetry
Off-grid pipeline monitoring, compressor stations, and tank-farm sites run for years between maintenance visits. SBS packs are designed for unattended service and remote health monitoring.
Typical loads
- VSAT terminals and cellular gateways
- Pressure, temperature, and flow transmitters
- Custody-transfer metering (4–20 mA loops)
- Solar charge controllers and hybrid gensets
Runtime
Multi-year deployments, with state-of-health reporting over Modbus or cellular telemetry.

Instrumentation & Metering
Field instrumentation — pressure, level, temperature, and flow — must remain accurate through brown-outs, generator switching, and the long quiet stretches of unattended operation. SBS packs provide clean, low-ripple DC.
Typical loads
- 4–20 mA current loops
- HART and Foundation Fieldbus devices
- Coriolis and ultrasonic flow meters
- Gas chromatographs and samplers
Runtime
Sized for full pad instrumentation with 48-hour worst-case reserve.

Permian Basin · 18-well pad
A mid-sized operator replaced 36 flooded lead-acid banks with SBS-48-200 packs in parallel. Result: 11,000 lbs removed from the pad, 94% reduction in battery-related truck rolls, and 7-year projected service life.
