The logistics equipment vehicle (GW-L1) of the Busdorf volunteer fire brigade is always well supplied with power by the LPS II. From 14 to 16 May, you can get a live impression of the vehicle and the installed technology at the RETTMobil 2025.
Starter and auxiliary battery: energy when you need it
Whether it's an emergency, major incident or routine deployment: police, the fire brigade and rescue service vehicles must be ready for action at all times, without compromise. The starter battery is at the centre of this. The LPS II can relieve the load on it in a targeted manner and reliably take over the power supply in the vehicle body.
When reliability becomes critical
Long idle times with active electrical consumers are not uncommon in the everyday life of emergency services: lighting, communication technology, ambient lighting or chargers for handheld radios run continuously and often in parallel. If all of this is operated via the starter battery, this leads to its rapid discharge and can jeopardise operational capability. Running the engine can stabilise the power supply in the short term, but also causes noise, exhaust fumes and increased wear.
A self-sufficient system for critical applications
Auxiliary batteries provide relief here, preferably in a complete, independent circuit. The LPS II from LEAB ensures exactly that: as a self-sufficient power supply unit, it takes over the power supply in the vehicle body. At the same time, it protects the starter battery and can even provide starting assistance via the integrated DC/DC connection, for example after long periods of downtime.
It combines battery, charger, 230 V inverter and DC outputs in one compact system. Its capacity can be expanded modularly for complex applications. This is ideal for high loads or long periods of use without an external power source.
Silent operational readiness even when parked
With the LPS II, the engine remains switched off and operational readiness is maintained. This not only reduces noise and exhaust pollution, but also improves the tactical situation: fewer acoustic signatures, less heat radiation, greater concentration at the scene of the operation.
At the same time, the self-sufficient power supply ensures that all systems continue to run stably. From ambient lighting to chargers and communication technology. This means that the required energy is always available when it is critical.
Mobile power supply with responsibility
The demands placed on emergency services vehicles are high: maximum availability, absolute reliability and intuitive operation. This is precisely why the LPS II was developed - from practice, for practice.

Vehicle with 230 V supply: more power, optimised charging curves
Modern emergency vehicles require more than just standard charging via the 12 V or 24 V vehicle electrical system. Absolute reliability is particularly important for fire brigades, rescue services or intensively used fleets. A permanently installed 230 V power supply in the vehicle offers a powerful, efficient and safe solution for this.
