Battery powered ice cream vans, stores and carts
Run the soft serve machine in your van, your whole frozen yoghurt or gelato store, or your ice cream cart from a safe LiFePO4 battery. Recharge off-peak, trade all day, keep serving through a blackout and check it all from your phone.
From a cart power box to a full store system
Generator noise and exhaust fumes
Recharge when power is cheapest
Monitoring from your phone
Three ways to run your business on battery
Choose the one that matches where you trade. Each one can be added to a quote.
Battery powered ice cream van
Makes the soft serve machine, freezers and fridges in your van battery powered. Serve with the engine off and no generator. 16 to 64 kWh.
Battery powered store
For a self-serve frozen yoghurt store, gelato store, café or kiosk. A 64 kWh battery cabinet that connects to your shop’s power and can run the whole store.
Battery powered ice cream cart
For ice cream carts, gelato carts and coffee carts. An all-in-one 5 or 10 kWh power box that fits under the cart.
An investment that works every day
A battery system costs more up front than a generator. It earns that back in cheaper power, no fuel, and trading days you do not lose.
Off-peak recharge
Charge overnight when power is cheapest, then run on stored power while you trade. Solar and generator charging are supported too.
No blackout
When the grid goes down, the battery keeps your equipment running. Stock stays frozen and you keep serving.
No noise
No engine and no generator hum beside your customers. Welcome at events, markets and quiet streets.
No pollution
No fuel to carry and no exhaust fumes where food is served.
Wi-Fi monitoring
See charge level, power use and alerts from your phone, wherever you are.
Very safe batteries
LiFePO4 batteries with a battery management system and built-in fire suppression.
A battery powered soft serve machine in your ice cream van
Charge the van at home at night, when power is cheap. Unplug in the morning and trade off-grid all day: the battery runs the soft serve machine, freezers, fridges and lights, with the engine off and no generator. Four capacities, sized so one overnight charge covers your trading day.

| Model | Usable capacity | Inverter | Charger | Runtime* | Power box (L x W x H) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 5 kWh | 5 kWh | 2 kW pure sine wave | 25 A | Up to 9 hours | 780 x 500 x 250 mm |
| 10 kWh | 10 kWh | 3 kW pure sine wave | 35 A | Up to 14 hours | 1100 x 730 x 200 mm |
*Runtime is based on typical daily gelato cart use and the final appliance load.
Your machines stay the same. The power comes from the battery.
A battery system gives your machines the same power as a wall socket. Nothing about the soft serve machine, cabinet or fridge changes.
The battery stores the power
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, a very safe battery type, each watched by its own management system.
The inverter makes mains power
It turns battery power into normal single-phase or three-phase power, so your machines plug in as usual.
You recharge it
From the grid, solar panels or a generator. Most owners recharge overnight at off-peak rates.
You watch it on your phone
Wi-Fi monitoring shows the charge level, power use and any alerts.

Battery systems: frequently asked questions
What type of battery is it?
Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO4), one of the safest lithium battery types. Every battery has a management system that watches current, voltage, temperature and state of charge, and the van and in-store systems have fire suppression built into the battery.
What is a battery powered ice cream van?
An ice cream van where the soft serve machine, freezers and fridges run from a battery instead of the engine or a generator. You charge it at home at night, when power is cheap, and trade off-grid all day with the engine off.
How do I recharge it?
From a normal grid connection, from solar panels or from a generator. Most operators plug in overnight and recharge at off-peak rates, then trade on stored power the next day.
What happens in a blackout?
The in-store system keeps your connected equipment running from the battery when the grid goes down, so freezers and cabinets stay cold and you can keep serving. How long depends on what is connected.
Can I check the battery from my phone?
Yes. Every system has remote monitoring over Wi-Fi or the app, showing charge level, system status and alerts.
Is it really silent?
There is no engine, so there is no generator noise and no exhaust. That matters at events, markets, weddings and anywhere customers queue beside your van or cart.
What can it run?
Soft serve machines, topping counters, fridges and freezers, POS, lighting and more. Sized correctly, the whole store can run on the Majors Group battery system.
What warranty does it come with?
Every Majors Group battery system comes with a 10-year warranty.
Can it be installed indoors or outdoors?
Both. The system sits in a strong enclosure that is designed and built to withstand force, and it can be installed indoors or outdoors.
Can you custom design a battery system?
Yes. Whatever your requirements are, talk to us. We custom design battery systems for vans, carts, stores and other sites. Call 0508 625 677.
What support do I get after I buy?
Our remote support team looks after your battery system after the sale. They can check the system online and help you without a site visit.
Are the batteries recyclable?
Yes. The batteries can be recycled at the end of their life.
Which size do I need?
It depends on what you run and for how long. Send us your equipment list and trading hours and we will size the system with you. Call 0508 625 677 or send us a message.
Quiet power, more trading
