Enerdrive batteries are synonymous with power and performance. But what do they offer that other batteries don’t?
In fact, what’s all the fuss about a lithium battery anyway…?
Enerdrive batteries come with a pretty high price tag. So, let’s deep dive into what makes them worth the money, why serious off-roaders swear by lithium and at what point in your 4x4 journey you should do the same…
Lithium vs. everything else
There are three types of leisure batteries: lithium, AGM and gel. They are all a type of deep-cycle battery and are used to charge and run appliances in RVs, campers, caravans and off-road rigs.
AGM and gel batteries are both known as lead acid batteries. They are bigger and heavier than lithium, but that’s not the only drawback. These only have around 50% depth of charge (which means they can only run down to about half of their capacity before they need to be recharged).
Lithium batteries, on the other hand, have an almost 80% depth of charge. They also have a far more user-friendly weight and size ratio, being at least 50% smaller and lighter than a comparable AGM or gel option.
As any 4x4 owner is painfully aware, space is everything – meaning the smaller footprint is a massive advantage when building in the Tetris-esque conundrum that is kitting out your ride.
OK, so that’s cleared up why lithium is the preferred battery choice for those serious about rig performance. So, let’s look at why choosing an Enerdrive battery is the ultimate performance upgrade.
The Beauty of Enerdrive: 5 Reasons Why the Brand Out-Performs Everything Else
You don’t get a reputation as the best battery in the business without a few standout features. And with Enerdrive, whittling this down to only 5 is a challenge in itself.
The following are some of the main reasons to become an Enerdrive groupie (trust us, you’ll be in great company…)
- Built-in smartphone/device monitoring: While this is commonplace for a lot of battery makers, Enerdrive’s intuitive app removes many of the clunky features you’ll find elsewhere. From capacity to voltage, state of charge (SOC) to temperature and individual cell voltage, the app is easy to navigate with all the information at your fingertips.
- Batteries are fitted with an internal monitoring system: This protects from any damaging incidents, such as overcharging, over discharge, overheating and short circuits. It does this by monitoring and optimising each prismatic cell. This boils down to three very important factors – the battery runs safely, accurately and has incredible longevity.
- Enerdrive batteries are 70% smaller and lighter than lead acid: This also means they’re considerably lighter (and smaller) than many competitor lithium brands.
- They’re designed specifically to be teamed with a complete suite of Enerdrive products: This includes models, such as the mighty Voyager System and Adventurer Power System, which are designed for serious off-grid performance and capabilities.
- All Enerdrive products come with a robust 5-year warranty and lifetime technical support: Aussie-made and produced, the company is proud of its near-perfect resolution record. Plus, when you invest in Enerdrive for all your power needs, any help you need about any part of the system is achieved with a single phone call.
If we had to sum Enerdrive lithium batteries and associated components up in a single phrase, it would have to be something like:
State-of-the-art, end-to-end solutions for every aspect of superior off-grid power.
Yes, there are cheaper options out there. But if you’re serious about power, then Enerdrive is the only way to go.
