RV electricity is a compulsory course for RV use, and the core of the RV power supply system must be batteries. Lithium batteries are the choice of many RVs at present. As a self-driving travel enthusiast, mastering the corresponding RV lithium battery knowledge is a compulsory course in the use of RVs.
The necessity of RVs equipped with lithium batteries
The biggest problem of RV travel is still water and electricity. The water problem is relatively easy to solve. The more troublesome thing is the replenishment of electricity. Some people will say that there is no electricity at any time with a portable generator? The more troublesome point of the generator is the noise. It is estimated that it is okay to use the generator during the day, but at night, the noise may be so noisy that you can't fall asleep.
But if the RV is equipped with a certain amount of lithium batteries, these problems can be avoided. Lithium batteries plus inverters are almost silent, which can solve the noise problem well.
Adjusting power resources
With the arrival of winter, it is very important for RVs to use electricity safely. When using an RV, you should always pay attention to the power consumption in the car, especially when using high-power electrical appliances, and adjust the power resource configuration method in time according to your actual needs.
Characteristics of lithium batteries
Lithium batteries do not have memory effects and can be used with charging, but be careful not to over-discharge lithium batteries, otherwise it will cause a large capacity loss.
RV battery maintenance
After long-term use, the battery will remain relatively active, so it is necessary to use the battery appropriately. Long-term non-use will shorten the life of the chemical substances in the battery. Zero charging of RVs in winter will also affect their normal use. It is recommended to maintain a charging frequency of 1 time/week.
Lithium battery use environment
When the temperature is less than 0°, try not to charge outside, do not charge over a long distance, and do not charge for a long time; in a clean, dry, and ventilated environment, the temperature is between 0-40°C, the relative humidity does not exceed 75%, prevent contact with corrosive substances, and stay away from fire and heat sources. Storage environment, these precautions should also be observed.
What capacity of lithium battery is suitable for RVs
It mainly depends on the total power consumption of the RV. Generally, RVs have rice cookers, electric water heaters (boil water), lighting, TVs, audio equipment, etc., and some RVs also have air conditioners. For general RVs without air conditioning, it is recommended that the battery capacity be 400ah. For RVs with air conditioning, it is recommended that the battery capacity be no less than 400ah, and generally 600ah-800ah is better. The above battery capacity is for the battery pack voltage of 12V.
It is understood that 70% of vehicles that break down in winter are caused by battery failure. The temperature difference causes the battery workload to increase, so it is necessary to give it more care and regular self-check. When it needs to be replaced, it should be replaced decisively and a reliable brand should be selected.
