Designed to work with compatible MPPT solar charge controllers for reliable everyday charging.

Lithium Battery FAQs

Do I need a solar charge controller with a lithium battery?

Yes. If you’re charging a lithium battery from solar panels, a solar charge controller is required between the panel and the battery. The controller regulates voltage and current to protect the battery and ensure safe, efficient charging.

Is MPPT or PWM better for lithium batteries?

MPPT controllers are generally recommended for lithium batteries. They are more efficient than PWM controllers and perform better in changing UK weather conditions, helping you get more usable energy from your solar panels.

Are lithium batteries suitable for campervans and motorhomes?

Yes. Lithium batteries are widely used in campervans, motorhomes and caravans thanks to their lighter weight, consistent 12V output and ability to handle regular charging and discharging when correctly installed.

Can I replace my existing leisure battery with a lithium battery?

In many cases, yes, but it’s important to check that your charging equipment (solar controller, mains charger or DC-DC charger) supports lithium charging profiles. This helps ensure safe operation and long-term battery health.

How long does a lithium leisure battery last?

Lithium batteries typically offer a longer service life than traditional lead-acid batteries when used and charged correctly. Actual lifespan depends on factors such as charging method, depth of discharge and overall system setup.

What size lithium battery do I need for my setup?

The right battery size depends on how much power you use and what appliances you run, such as fridges, lighting or charging devices. Larger capacities are better suited to longer trips, solar setups or higher power demands.

Choosing the Right Battery for Your Setup

Choosing the Right Battery for Your Setup

Selecting the right battery is an important part of building a reliable 12V power system for camping, touring or off-grid use. The best option for you will depend on how you travel, what you power, and how you plan to recharge your battery.

How to choose the right lithium battery for your setup

Lithium batteries are a popular choice for campervans, motorhomes and solar-powered systems thanks to their efficiency, lighter weight and consistent power output.

When choosing a lithium battery, consider:

  • How often you travel and how long you stay off-grid
  • Whether you use solar panels, mains charging or both
  • The total power draw of your appliances, such as fridges, lighting and device charging

For regular touring or solar use, lithium batteries are well suited to modern 12V leisure systems when paired with compatible charging equipment.

What battery capacity do I need for a campervan or motorhome?

Battery capacity is usually measured in amp hours (Ah). The right size depends on how much power you use each day and how often you can recharge.

As a general guide:

  • Smaller capacities are suitable for short trips or lighter power needs
  • Larger capacities are better for longer stays, solar setups or higher-demand appliances

If you rely on solar charging or spend multiple days off-grid, choosing a higher capacity battery can help provide more flexibility and reduce the need for frequent recharging.

Lithium vs lead-acid leisure batteries

Both lithium and traditional lead-acid batteries are used in leisure applications, but they offer different benefits.

Lithium batteries are typically:

-Lighter and easier to install

-Able to deliver more usable power

-Better suited to regular charging and discharging

-More efficient when used with compatible MPPT solar controllers

Lead-acid batteries can still be suitable for occasional use, but many campers and tourers choose lithium for improved performance and long-term value in modern setups.

Charging and compatibility considerations

Whichever battery you choose, it’s important to use charging equipment designed to support it. Solar charge controllers, mains chargers and DC-DC chargers should be compatible with lithium charging profiles where applicable.

Matching your battery with suitable controllers and cabling helps ensure safe operation and reliable everyday performance.
