There’s nothing like the freedom of leaving the city behind and heading out into the wilderness. No matter where in Oz you live, the bush is never far away – and once you’re there, it’s you against the elements.
But wherever you are, you’re going to need power. Whether it’s a fridge to cool some stubbies, some decent camp lights or to charge up your devices, there’s really only one way to go – and that’s with the wonder that is lithium.
Transform Your Camping Experience with the Power of a Lithium Battery
While you might be going full-on wild camp, 4WD life is better with a few mod-cons. Old-school lead acid batteries can only power so much – and they’re big, heavy and can easily go flat.
Enter the lithium battery. Small, light and immensely powerful – and it can run down 80% of its charge before it needs a boost. They out-perform every other type of leisure battery – coming in a host of sizes to suit every level of power requirements. Plus, if you add a battery-to-battery charger, in the event that you do begin to run a bit low, you simply switch on the engine to give it some extra charge (and you can add a trickle solar charger that’ll help keep it topped up too).
Not convinced yet? Lithium advantages, such as those from Enerdrive and Invicta, also offer:
- Way better energy efficiency than lead-acid batteries.
- Have a much longer lifespan.
- Are safer and more stable.
- Can be charged in multiple ways, including by generator, solar, engine battery, power stations and vehicle chargers.
- Offer superior performance at extremes of temperature (vital if you’re heading out in the summer months).
Worried How Much Power You’re Using? There’s an App for That…
Top brands also come with intuitive apps, meaning you have all the battery information at your fingertips. They Bluetooth from your device to the battery, so there are no issues when you’re out of signal range.
Lithium batteries charge way faster than other batteries too (3-5 times faster than AGMs) plus, good quality ones have thousands more recharge cycles. Yep, they do have a higher price tag – but, as the saying goes, you get what you pay for…
You can use a lithium battery in isolation or, for serious rig setups, add additional ones that to provide you with as much power as you need. Add in a solar charge element (because why wouldn’t you take advantage of the sunshine?) and your build is set for days, or even weeks, of off-grid use.
