Caravan Lithium Batteries

Lithium Batteries

Lithium vs AGM Batteries:

Many Caravan and RV owners are replacing their AGM battery with a lithium battery, but why? Let's find out:

1. Life Cycle:

A lithium battery has almost double the life cycle of an AGM battery. As a result, you will need to replace an AGM much quicker than a lithium.

2. Cost:

As mentioned above, an AGM battery will need to be replaced sooner than a lithium battery. Therefore, although AGM batteries are initially cheaper, you will need to fork out additional money much sooner. Lithium batteries also have higher efficiency, performance, longevity, and minimal maintenance – meaning lithium batteries provide more bang for buck!

3. Depth of Discharge:

As a general principle, Lithium batteries have a higher depth of discharge (DoD) in comparison to an AGM. A lithium battery will provide 80% DoD, while an AGM will only provide 50% DoD.

To give you a real world example, a 100Ah lithium battery will give you 80 Usable Amp Hours, while a 100Ah AGM battery will only give you 50 Usable Amp Hours.

4. Capacity:

Due to different depth of discharges, lithium and AGM batteries do not provide the same Amp Hours in the same capacity. Lithium is able to provide more energy in a smaller capacity. For example:

125 Ah of Lithium = 200 Ah of AGM

200 Ah of Lithium = 360 Ah of AGM

300 Ah of Lithium = 480 Ah of AGM

5. Dimensions and weight:

Lithium batteries are up to 70% lighter and smaller than AGM batteries due to AGM batteries containing more lead in their makeup.

Benefits of A Lithium Caravan Battery

A lithium caravan battery is a popular option for Australian caravan power systems for good reason – they are half the weight and size of an AGM battery. Plus, they promise higher efficiency and better life cycles. A lithium battery has a Depth of Discharge of almost 80%. This means a 200 Amp Hour lithium caravan battery delivers 160 usable amp hours before you need to recharge it.
