If you want to get more out of your RV adventures, you should change your battery to lithium. No matter where your travels take you, lithium batteries give you constant power. Why? They charge faster and last longer. Get the facts from our team at Avalon-RV below to find out just how much of a game changer upgrading your battery pack can be.
Why More RV Owners Are Switching to Lithium Batteries
If you’re still using traditional lead-acid batteries in your RV, it might be time to upgrade. Lithium batteries offer a long list of advantages that can significantly improve your time on the road. Let’s start with the big one: a dramatic drop in weight. A typical lithium battery weighs less than 35 pounds, while its lead-acid counterpart can push 70 pounds. That means switching an eight-battery bank to lithium could shave off as much as 280 pounds. Talk about better fuel efficiency. Some other reasons you might want to make the switch include:
- Longer life span: Lead-acid batteries can last three to five years, but lithium batteries can keep going for over a decade and survive up to 5,000 deep discharge cycles.
- Faster charging: Lithium batteries charge up to six times faster and hold a steady voltage.
- Larger capacity: Lead-acid batteries only offer about 50% usable capacity, whereas lithium batteries get you to nearly 99%.
- Greater cold tolerance: Lithium batteries maintain between 95 and 98% capacity even at freezing temperatures.
We Can Customize Your Battery Bank Setup
Every RV owner has different power needs. That’s why we design fully customized battery bank setups tailored to your specific rig and usage. Whether you travel full-time, camp on the weekends, or boondock off-grid, we’ll size and configure your lithium setup for optimal performance. We typically recommend starting with a 200 Ah lithium battery bank, with usable capacity ranging from 200 Ah to 800 Ah. Most lead-acid systems can be swapped for lithium, and our team can seamlessly integrate with many existing solar charge controllers.
Whether you have a motorhome, van, fifth wheel, or travel trailer, we’ll evaluate the best installation location for safety and airflow while making the most of your available storage space. If you have questions, send us a message, and we’ll walk you through the best RV battery upgrades for your setup.
