Motorhome Batteries

A leisure battery is a deep-cycle battery designed to power onboard appliances and electronics, such as lights, refrigerators, and heating systems, independently from the vehicle's starting battery. These batteries provide a steady, long-lasting energy supply for extended travel or off-grid camping in motorhomes.

Yes! Redodo lithium batteries are a direct replacement for lead-acid and AGM batteries in motorhomes. They offer longer lifespan, lighter weight, faster charging, and deeper discharge cycles. For example, Redodo 12V 100Ah Group 31 Smart Lithium Battery is 61% lighter than Group 31 AGM, while offers 2 times of energy (under 1C discharging) and can be recharged fully in just 5 hours with a 20A charger.

However, before replacing, check your charging system to ensure compatibility with lithium technology or upgrade to a compatible LiFePO4 charger for optimal performance.

Redodo deep cycle batteries for motorhome support both up to 4 series and 4 parallel connections, to meet your specific use needs.

● Connect in series to increase voltage (e.g., two 12V batteries for a 24V system).

● Connect in parallel to increase capacity (e.g., two 12V 100Ah batteries for 200Ah total).

It’s important to make sure all batteries are of the same brand, model, voltage, capacity, BMS, and were purchased within one month to ensure balanced performance. Read the blog to learn that how to connect lithium batteries in series and parallel.

To safely disconnect your Redodo lithium battery, follow these steps:

1. Turn off all connected appliances.

2. Disconnect the charger, inverter, or solar input (if avaliable).

3. Remove the negative (-) terminal of the battery first, then the positive (+) terminal.

4. If the battery has a Bluetooth monitoring system or a power switch, turn it off.

Most motorhomes use a 12V battery system, larger setups may use 24V or even 48V for higher power needs. If you're upgrading, ensure the new battery system matches your RV's electrical configuration.

For a Class A motorhome, consider:

● Capacity: Larger vehicles need at least 200Ah or more to power essential systems.

● Voltage: Check if your RV runs on 12V, 24V, or 48V.

● Battery Type: Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries are ideal due to their higher efficiency, longer lifespan, and lighter weight.

● Expandable Setup: Choose a battery that allows parallel or series connections if you need more power.

To keep the battery for optimal performance, it is recommended to charge the deep cycle battery in time when the SOC is below 20% to avoid over-discharge. Using a Redodo LiFePO4 charger designed specifically for Redodo’s batteries, which helps protect the battery from damage during charging.

When not in use for a long time, please store the battery in a cool, dry environment at the temperature range of 50°F-95°F (10°C-35°C) and keep 50% of SOC. Place insulating caps on the battery terminals to avoid corrosion. Keep connections clean, check and tighten terminals periodically before the next using.

Some models of the batteries include low-temperature cutoff protection and self-heating functions, ensuring reliable safety performance even in freezing conditions. For extreme cold, consider insulating the battery or pre-warming it before charging.
