Temporary traffic management at a road work zone often needs powered signage or speed radar, in a location that's set up for days or weeks and has no fixed power connection — a different, more sustained requirement than a battery-only sign might cover.
Standalone battery-powered signs work for short deployments, but a work zone running for weeks needs either frequent battery swaps on the sign itself or a dedicated, more substantial power source that can run continuously with periodic pack changes — the latter avoids repeatedly accessing and swapping small internal batteries in each individual sign.
Speed radar, illuminated signage, and other electronic traffic equipment at the same work zone can often run from a single regulated power platform rather than each needing its own standalone battery system — simplifying what needs to be checked and maintained across a work zone.
Work zones shift as a project progresses through sections of road — equipment that deploys and relocates quickly keeps traffic management equipment aligned with the actual active work area rather than lagging behind it.
Traffic equipment needs to stay powered continuously, including overnight — a dual battery pack design that allows swapping a depleted pack for a charged one without powering down connected equipment keeps signage and radar running through a pack change rather than going dark during the swap.
The LI-TC-300 delivers a regulated 12V DC output at up to 3.4A (40W max), suited to powering signs and radar equipment within its 5kg mounting load. See our device power platform guide for more on this equipment category generally.
