Tips and tricks

Upgrading to lithium the right way

Why swapping the battery alone isn’t enough.

Lithium batteries give you more usable power at less weight, but they need the right charging to last.

  • Your charger, solar regulator and DC-DC charger all need a lithium charge profile.
  • A DC-DC charger is the reliable way to charge from your tow vehicle while driving.
  • Cable size matters. Undersized cable over the length of a car and van means lost charge and heat.

Have a 12V specialist check the whole system before you drop in a new battery. It’s cheaper than replacing one early.
