The Ultimate BMPRO Caravan Lithium Battery Buyer's Guide

Caravanning offers an unparalleled sense of freedom, but to maintain this liberty on the road, you need a reliable power source, and there are none better than lithium batteries. One of the best ways to ensure you're never left in the dark is to equip your caravan with a high-quality lithium battery.

But why choose a lithium battery over other types of batteries? That's what this comprehensive buyer's guide is here to explain. It's our goal to educate you on the exceptional benefits of lithium batteries, delve into what makes BMPRO lithium batteries stand out from the crowd, and ultimately help you make an informed purchase that suits your caravanning needs.

Why Choose a Lithium Battery for Your Caravan?

Lithium batteries, specifically Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) batteries, have several advantages that make them an excellent choice for caravanning.

  • Extended Cycle Life. Lithium batteries offer a significant advantage in terms of cycle life. These batteries can provide over 2000 cycles, making them a more cost-effective choice over the long term.

  • Superior Capacity Utilisation. Unlike other batteries, lithium batteries allow a larger portion of their rated capacity to be used, which translates to longer run times. They can deliver up to 60% more capacity than sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries.

  • Fast Recharging. One of the most compelling advantages of lithium batteries is their ability to accept fast recharges, reducing downtime and getting you back on the road quicker.

  • Lightweight and Compact. Lithium batteries provide a higher energy density, which means they can store more energy while maintaining a smaller size and weight. This is particularly important in a caravan, where space and weight are at a premium.

  • Built-in Battery Management System (BMS). A built-in BMS protects lithium batteries from potential issues such as overcharging, over-discharging, overheating, and short-circuiting, further increasing the safety and reliability of the battery.

  • Consistent Power Delivery. Unlike other battery types that may suffer from decreased voltage as the battery discharges, lithium batteries offer a flat discharge curve. This means your appliances receive consistent power, even as the battery's charge level decreases.

Are Lithium Batteries Worth It? 

The higher upfront cost of a lithium battery can be offset by these advantages, especially when considering the longer lifespan and superior performance, and for frequent travellers or those living in their caravan for extended periods, the benefits of switching to lithium batteries are clear.
