Lithium RV batteries for mobile homes and caravans have long proven themselves and have become a bestseller in recent years. No wonder, because in combination with a solar system, the light lithium iron phosphate or LiFePo4 batteries create a stable framework for a self-sufficient power supply on a camping holiday. But the longevity and high power availability of this 12 V technology are not the only advantages.
Which lithium power supply suits you?
Most models can be replaced 1 to 1 with your old on-board battery using the Plug & Play principle. In order to ensure optimal performance and the best protection, some manufacturers offer perfectly coordinated charging and storage technologies as a set. A lithium battery is not only suitable for the power supply in the interior of the mobile home or caravan. They are now also available for the operation of maneuvering aids in a large selection. Small batteries from 20 Ah are available for direct replacement in an existing system. A power set is ideal for new installations. This also consists of a charger and installation accessories.
Get the most out of your lithium battery
In order to exploit all the advantages, you should use suitable battery chargers with an IUoU characteristic. With their support, the battery is charged and ready for use in a very short time. Since charge maintenance is not required, the devices preset for lithium technology switch off when the desired charge level is reached.
Lithium batteries need variety: Avoid constant charging current and constant charging to 100%.
Optimal charge and storage at 40-60% capacity.
From time to time you should fill up the memory completely. This is best if you foreseeably need larger amounts of electricity. This is how you activate tired battery cells and stimulate them to perform at their best.
