If you’re a tradie, your ute or work van isn’t just transport—it’s your mobile workstation. Whether you’re on a construction site, heading to a rural property, or working from your tray in the middle of nowhere, you need reliable power. That’s where a smart 12V setup comes in.
At All 12 Volt, we’ve helped countless Aussie tradies power their tools, lighting, devices, and coolers—without relying on loud generators or access to mains power.
Here’s a breakdown of the best 12V setups to keep you powered on the job, no matter where work takes you.
Charge power tool batteries
Run LED lighting in canopies and toolboxes
Power 12V or 240V devices (inverters)
Keep food and drinks cold in a portable fridge
Recharge phones, tablets, and job site electronics
All without leaving your engine running—or hunting for a wall socket.
Install a dual battery system to run your gear independently from your vehicle’s main battery.
ZENOT 135Ah AGM or Lithium Battery
DC-DC Charger with Solar Input
ZENOT Battery Box with USB, cig and Anderson outlets
Optional: 200W folding solar panel for longer jobs
This setup powers a fridge, lights, chargers, and tools without flattening your starter battery.
If you want a removable, portable power hub, a pre-wired battery box is the go-to.
No permanent install required
Charge at home or via alternator
Perfect for smaller utes and vans
Our ZENOT Extreme Battery Boxes include:
Built-in voltmeters
Multiple output ports
Anderson plug compatibility
Durable, tradie-proof housing
If you need to run corded tools or devices that require AC power, pair your battery with a pure sine wave inverter.
600W–1200W inverter for light-duty tools or laptop charging
1500W–2000W inverter for grinders, saws, or shop vacs
Make sure your battery size matches your inverter’s draw—and add fuses for safety.
Early starts and late finishes mean you need reliable lighting inside your tray, canopy, or service body.
LED strip lights with dimmers
Motion-sensor 12V lighting
Switch panels mounted inside the toolbox door
They draw very little power and make tool access fast and frustration-free.
Keep lunch and drinks cold on hot job sites with a ZENOT portable fridge. They:
Run quietly off 12V
Fit in most trays or under canopy benches
Use as little as 1–2Ah per hour
Perfect for full-day jobs, multi-day projects, or FIFO workers.

ZENOT Battery Box + Anderson Plug Mount
DC-DC Charger + 200W Solar
