A deep cycle battery, specifically a LiFePO4 lithium-ion battery, is the best choice for campers. They are lighter, more durable, and can handle deep discharges without damage, making them ideal for RV and camper use.
Typically, these deep cycle lithium batteries offer 4,000 to 15,000 cycles, which can last up to 10 years with proper maintenance and care. It's significantly longer than a lead-acid battery, which usually lasts around 2-3 years.
Redodo lithium batteries for camper offer several key advantages over lead-acid batteries. They have a significantly longer lifespan (4,000+ cycles vs. 300–500 cycles), are lighter (about 1/3 the weight), more compact size (saving 50% or more space), and provide two times usable capacity under @1C discharging.
In terms of performance, these lithium batteries also charge faster, require no maintenance, and deliver consistent power output while keeping voltage level. While the upfront cost is higher, their long-term savings in replacements and maintenance make them a more cost-effective choice than lead-acid options.
A car starting battery is designed to provide short bursts of high power to start the engine and power the electrical systems while the engine is running. While a camper house battery, specifically a deep cycle battery, is designed to provide a steady amount of power over long periods. It can be discharged and recharged multiple times, while car starting batteries are not intended for deep discharges and are not durable for extended deep-cycle use.
Yes, you can connect the Redodo batteries to solar panels, which is a great way to charge your battery while off-grid. Solar panels convert sunlight into electrical energy, and the energy stored in the battery for later use. Make sure to use a solar charge controller to regulate the charging process and prevent overcharging or damage to the battery.
We provide four methods to charge these batteries: battery charger, solar panel, generator, and alternator.
To charge the 12V camper battery, it is recommended to use a 14.6V battery charger specifically designed for LiFePO4 batteries. You can also charge the battery through solar panels and a MPPT controller if your setup includes a solar charging system.
For alternator, use a DC-to-DC charger to connect it to the battery. For generator, use a compatible LiFePO4 battery charger.
The time it takes to fully charge the camper trailer battery depends on its capacity and the charging method. For example, a 12V 100Ah battery typically takes about 5 hours to charge fully by the 14.6V 20A battery charger.
For solar power system, the charging times can vary with solar panels, which may take longer based on weather and solar panels size.
