Lithium Battery Upgrade – for Maximum Off-Grid Freedom
Lithium Battery Upgrade – for Maximum Off-Grid Freedom
Moving from lead-acid to Lithium (LiFePO4) is the single most impactful upgrade for any off-grid vehicle. Unlike traditional batteries, Lithium allows you to use 100% of the energy you carry with consistent voltage and zero maintenance.
100Ah Lithium
~2x the power of a 110Ah Lead Acid. Ideal for light off-grid use and massive weight savings.
200Ah Lithium
~4x the power of a 110Ah Lead Acid. Perfect for digital nomads and inverter-heavy setups.
300Ah Lithium
~6x the power of a 110Ah Lead Acid. Enables gas-free living, induction hobs, and electric heating.
Life Expectancy: Years vs. Decades
A standard 110Ah lead-acid battery is often a "consumable" replaced every 2-3 years. In contrast, our Lithium setups are designed as vehicle components:
- Lead Acid: 300 - 500 cycles (Approx. 2-3 years)
- Lithium: 3,000 - 5,000+ cycles (Approx. 10-15 years)
Note: Lithium batteries do not suffer from sulphation, meaning they aren't damaged if left partially discharged over winter.
Technical Comparison
| Feature | Standard 110Ah Lead Acid | Lithium Upgrade (100Ah-300Ah) |
|---|---|---|
| Usable Capacity | ~55Ah (50% Safety Limit) | 100% Depth of Discharge |
| Voltage Stability | Drops significantly under load | Rock-steady 12.8V - 13.2V |
| Charging Speed | Slow (requires long absorption) | Fast (accepts high current) |
| Weight | Heavy lead and water | Ultra-light Cells |
Charging & Maintenance System
To ensure your Lithium tank remains healthy and ready for travel, our standard installation includes a comprehensive dual-charging setup:
- 20A DC-to-DC Charger: Charges your leisure battery safely from the engine while driving.
- 20A AC-to-DC Mains Charger: Essential for campsite hookups; specifically programmed to "wake up" or reboot the Lithium BMS if the battery ever goes completely flat.
- Custom Upgrades: Larger DC-to-DC and AC chargers are available upon request for even faster replenishment.
Each battery features a Built-in BMS (Battery Management System) for total safety.
