RV BATTERY OPTIONS WE SUPPORT

Lithium Battery Upgrades

Lithium battery systems have become increasingly popular for RV owners seeking:

• More usable power
• Faster charging
• Reduced weight
• Longer cycle life
• Better solar performance
• Low-maintenance operation

We offer lithium upgrade consultation and can help evaluate whether lithium makes sense for your setup.

AGM Battery Options

AGM batteries remain a popular choice for many RV owners seeking dependable performance with minimal maintenance.

AGM may be a good fit for:

• Moderate off-grid use
• Traditional battery replacement
• Lower-cost upgrades
• Many standard RV applications

Solar can help reduce generator use and improve battery charging while camping off-grid.

We can help support systems involving:

• Solar panels
• Charge controllers
• Battery monitoring
• Solar-ready battery systems
• Charging system improvements
• Off-grid power planning

Whether adding a modest solar system or building a larger off-grid setup, we can help guide the process.

RV Solar 101: Batteries

AGM batteries offer many advantages to the RVer. They are sealed, do not spill or vent gas, and require no maintenance. AGM batteries also charge quickly and are more resistant to low temperatures. They are, however, sensitive to overcharging and require the use of a charge controller as a preventative measure.

Gel batteries are also sealed and don’t spill, but they are much slower to charge than their AGM counterparts. Based on older technology, they also require a charge controller compatible with Gel batteries.

Lithium batteries. The third option not mentioned above is lithium batteries. They provide high performance and efficient charging in a low-weight package. They are safe, require no maintenance, and offer a long life-cycle. The drawback to lithium batteries is cost—these batteries come with a high price tag.

Buying battery tips

• For most off-grid applications, high-quality AGM batteries are preferred since they strike the best balance between performance and price.
• Lead-acid batteries cost less up front. They also need to be maintained to keep them running at peak performance, and have a shorter lifespan.
• Lithium batteries are more expensive up front. However, they are higher efficiency, maintenance-free, and have a longer lifespan.
• Be sure to check out the manufacturer’s battery warranty and ask about their service and support capabilities.
