Company profile
researched Aug 2026Gridless Power is a New Jersey-based battery technology company that designs and manufactures portable and fixed off-grid power systems for enterprise, government and public-safety users. Its products combine LiFePO4 battery storage with solar charging, cellular or point-to-point connectivity and power outputs for third-party equipment, allowing security cameras, communications gear and tools to be deployed where grid power and network infrastructure are unavailable.
The product line includes the Gridless Core, a ruggedized portable battery with 1,250Wh true capacity, 1,000W continuous / 2,000W surge AC output, eight IP66 USB ports, 2,000-3,000 cycle life, a 50 lb drop-, shock- and weather-resistant case, and charging from wall outlets, vehicles or solar panels in about 1.25 hours at 1,000W charging power. A modular security line (gS0, gS1, gS2, gS4) packages battery storage, modem, antenna and PoE output in a NEMA 4X field case, ranging from a modem-only unit with no battery to a four-battery, 4,000Wh configuration, with 12/24/48VDC output, plug-and-play solar for up to two panels, and pole, mast, wall or trailer mounting. Earlier products described in press coverage include the Gridless 1250 portable battery and the larger 350-pound Gridless 7000.
Every battery unit ships with gMS, a remote management platform that reports battery system statistics and analytics in real time for troubleshooting, performance optimization, lifecycle management and safety, reducing the need for on-site technician visits. Gridless also offers security installation services covering off-grid and grid-tied power, cabling, wireless links, surveillance cameras, alarms, intrusion detection, access control, communications devices and security lighting.
Founding story
Jason Halpern and Patrick Murphy met in kindergarten in Collingswood, New Jersey, and agreed by the end of high school to start a business together. In 2008, as college juniors — Halpern studying engineering at the University of Pennsylvania and Murphy economics and business at New York University — Halpern proposed a way to solve the problem of delivering power to remote parts of his family's five-acre grape farm, where conventional generators were bulky, loud and prone to fuel spills. Halpern built the hardware while Murphy handled the business side, and childhood friend Andrew Leonard later joined as a third partner.
Business model
Gridless designs and manufactures battery hardware and kits sold to organizations, bundled with the gMS remote management platform and complemented by professional security installation and support services covering purchase, installation, customer service and ongoing support.
Revenue comes from sales of battery units and modular off-grid power/connectivity kits, together with security installation and support services; gMS remote management is included with each battery unit.
Traction
The company reports thousands of units deployed across the United States and more than a decade powering technology for first responders and crisis response teams, with U.S. military use in edge and mobile deployments. Press coverage describes field use after tornadoes in Kansas, Hurricane Sandy in New Jersey, a medical clinic and Ebola-response hospitals in Liberia in 2014-2015, the 2015 Nepal earthquakes, Department of Defense emergency response during hurricanes and wildfires, subway tunnel construction in San Francisco, and concerts, outdoor events and food trucks. Headcount was reported at 15 employees in 2018.
Latest developments
Gridless markets a four-configuration modular off-grid security camera power line — gS0 (modem only, no battery, 15 lbs), gS1 (1,000Wh), gS2 (2,000Wh) and gS4 (4,000Wh, 80 lbs) — with customizable battery capacity, connectivity and solar sizing, flexible pole, mast, wall and trailer mounts, and compatibility with major camera and VMS platforms. gMS is positioned as an AI-assisted remote management layer included with every battery unit.

Market position
The company positions itself as a battery technology supplier for demanding off-grid enterprise and government applications, citing more than a decade of use by the U.S. military in edge and mobile deployments and thousands of units deployed nationwide.
Gridless emphasizes deployment without trenching, cabling or permanent power; compact, comparatively low-cost kits; 10+ year battery cycle life; universal compatibility with major camera brands (Axis, Avigilon, Pelco, Rhombus, i-PRO, Verkada, Hanwha) and VMS platforms (Axis Camera Station Edge, Verkada Command, Milestone, Genetec, Hanwha Wave, YourSix); and included remote monitoring via gMS rather than proprietary lock-in.
Technology
Systems are built on lithium-iron-phosphate (LiFePO4) cells rated for long cycle life (2,000-3,000 cycles on the Core; batteries engineered for 10+ years). Units integrate battery storage with modem, antenna and PoE output in NEMA 4X enclosures with IP67 connectors, rated -10°C to 50°C (-40°C extended), supporting plug-and-play solar for up to two panels, 12/24/48VDC output and multiple PoE modes. Connectivity options include 4G LTE/5G cellular, point-to-point links, and P2P with LTE failover. The gMS remote management layer applies analytics for real-time system visibility, predictive state-of-charge calculation and proactive maintenance planning.
Go-to-market
Direct sales through demo bookings and inquiry forms on its website, segmented by industry vertical, supported by downloadable product guides and specification sheets, an installation services arm, and partnerships with camera and VMS vendors whose systems the kits are designed to interoperate with.
Enterprise and government clients, including the U.S. military and defense contractors, law enforcement, first responders and crisis response teams, cities and towns, retail, construction, education, HOAs and neighborhoods, utilities, infrastructure operators, event organizers, and international aid and NGO users.
Geography
Headquartered in Collingswood, New Jersey, with units deployed nationwide across the United States; products were assembled in York, Pennsylvania, and were conceived on a farm in Vineland, New Jersey. Deployments have also occurred internationally, including Liberia and Nepal.
History
The company's first commercial product was the PowerFlower, a portable solar product positioned as a cheaper alternative to expensive solar panels; a rapid collapse in solar panel prices, along with Marines nicknaming the team "those flower guys," prompted a rebrand and a pivot toward off-grid battery power after customers asked to buy the battery alone. Over roughly four years of research and development the founders moved from dorm-room sketches to a windowless maker space in Collingswood and then to offices at The Factory in Collingswood, developing the Gridless CORE lithium-iron phosphate battery and a larger 350-pound Gridless 7000. The product line has since expanded into modular off-grid security camera power and connectivity kits (gS0-gS4) and the gMS remote management platform, alongside security installation services.
Risks & controversies
Press coverage describes early setbacks, including the collapse of the photovoltaic market that undermined the company's first product, the PowerFlower, and forced a change of product focus and name.
