Running a 12 volt lithium deep cycle battery (or a bank of multiple batteries) will provide all your power requirements. With their ability to recharge fast with a solar panel, AC or DC-DC Charger, lithium deep cycle batteries can power any electrical device. Why not take advantage of free solar energy? Our batteries have a long life and are durable.
DEEP CYCLE BATTERIES?
Our 12V LiFePO4 lithium deep cycle batteries have been designed with the Australian outdoors in mind. LiFePO4 batteries are tough, damage-resistant, waterproof, and deliver 12 volts at a constant discharge rate. If you love camping, you'll be impressed by the long lasting power of these batteries.
These batteries are so stable that you won’t see a drop in power until the last amp has been delivered. These batteries deliver more power than an AGM battery. You will be safe from fumes, acid spills and they weigh approx. 1/3 of a traditional battery.
HOW DO I RECHARGE A 12V LITHIUM BATTERY?
Due to its low resistance, a lithium deep cycle battery is easily and rapidly rechargeable using solar panels, AC and DC to DC battery chargers. Safe to use even on the hottest summer day with operational temperatures up to 80C. Lithium deep cycle batteries are maintenance-free. They're so much better than lead-acid batteries that may be in your kit now.
HOW MANY BATTERIES DO I NEED?
A lithium ion battery should be the heart of every power system. These batteries are so handy if you are going on long trips. You still need to recharge, but they last so much longer. We all have mobile phones, so we all need to recharge them.
When camping, consider the power needs of others who travel with you. Have you got an Engel fridge-freezer? Will you need to power a coffee machine? What about laptops and tablets? Maybe even a hair straightener? You'll be surprised how many mod-cons you or your partner wished you packed. These little luxuries can make camping so much more enjoyable for your whole family. By calculating how many amps you need, you can work out which battery and how many you need to power all your devices.
WHAT DEVICES CAN A LITHIUM BATTERY CHARGE?
A LiFePO4 lithium deep cycle battery can power most off-road vehicles and caravans, suitable for portable fridges, washing machines, inverters and more. These batteries are perfect for any camping trip where you're running everything but the kitchen sink, and still have power at your fingertips. Lithium deep cycle batteries are one of the safest ways to power your site. They are not as volatile as petrol, gas, or acid-filled AGM battery or lead-acid models. They're lightweight, too - weighing 60% less than standard AGM or lead batteries.
WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A LITHIUM AND AN AGM OR LEAD-ACID BATTERY?
A LiFePO4 deep cycle lithium lasts about 4 times as long as an AGM or lead-acid battery. This long lifespan is because they can cycle over 2,000 times while AGM or lead-acid is good for about 500 cycles (A cycle is the number of times a battery can discharge and then fully charge, 1 cycle).
IS A LITHIUM CAR BATTERY HEAVY?
A LifePO4 lithium car battery that can discharge about 100Ah will weigh around 11 - 13kg, while an AGM or lead-acid will weigh around 28Kg. Almost 1/3 the weight. A LifePO4 battery recharges faster due to its lower internal resistance and makes it a far better option for camping.
HOW LONG DOES THE AVERAGE BATTERY LAST?
On average most people will see at least seven years of battery life and reliable power before a noticeable decrease in performance.
