Maybe you don’t need a bigger battery?

Monitor - animatedLike most Campervan travellers, we have always kept an eye on our batteries’ State of Charge (SoC), and as the price of Lithium batteries has slowly tumbled we wondered if it might be worth going for something a bit bigger in the energy storage department.

But as we have recently discovered, there are other options available to extend our off-grid electrical energy sustainability.

Turns out, it’s not all about battery capacity. Especially if you have a not-so-new van. Continue reading “Maybe you don’t need a bigger battery?”

AGM to Lithium: Campervan Battery Upgrade

Lithium batteryWith a couple of extended trips on the horizon, we have taken the plunge and invested in two Lithium batteries to replace our two AGM batteries.

By replacing the AGM batteries with Lithium batteries we have almost doubled our off-grid 12V energy capacity while more than halving our battery weight.

While Lithium batteries are expensive, the increase in battery performance is amazing. But there can be significant costs, other than the batteries, in making the move to Lithium.
