Lithium RV Batteries

Now, let’s say you’re sick of dragging your generator out and running it 7 or 8 hours every time you need to charge your batteries, and you don’t want to be reliant on shore power. Your best option is to combine solar panels with lithium batteries. Here’s why.

Owning a lithium RV battery bank means running out of power less often, thanks to efficiency. This is especially important in the winter, when the days are shorter and the sun doesn’t get as high (overcast days present a similar problem). You have to use your limited energy as efficiently as possible so you don’t run out, and lithium is the perfect answer.

Not only that, you can buy a smaller and less expensive solar array. Because it will provide just as much power as a larger solar setup would with a lead acid battery bank.

That said, the biggest lithium RV battery benefit is peace of mind. Solar power requires more upkeep and effort than many people realize, and lead acid tips the scale with its own unique set of frustrations. Many solar first-timers get overwhelmed with the combo.

But with solar-lithium you dodge the avalanche of non stop maintenance, and you can finally lose the “battery anxiety” that comes from waiting 6 to 12 hours for your lead acid batteries to charge, constantly checking so you don’t overcharge your battery into an early grave. Not to mention worrying about discharging past 50%!

Because you can discharge your lithium batteries past 80% with no problems, and your charge controller-BMS combo keeps the batteries from overcharging. Anxiety free.
