Lifeline Lithium Batteries

Lifeline lithium batteries are premium grade batteries designed to last much longer than traditional batteries. In fact, you might need to replace traditional batteries every 2 or 3 years depending on the wear and tear and the way they are maintained, but you might be able to use the same set of lithium batteries for 10 years or more. Maintenance of lead-acid batteries is one of the conditions that determine the useful life of the battery, but lithium batteries require no regular maintenance.

All batteries degrade over time, but the rate at which lithium batteries degrade is so much slower than lead-acid batteries it results in the prolonged lifespan of these batteries.

Battery power
Another major difference between these two battery systems is the amount of available power each will deliver to your RV. In other words, you can store more energy and access more power in lithium-ion batteries because they have a more dense and efficient energy storage system, which translates to more power available to you and the electrical systems in your RV.

Bottom line…you can run more electrical equipment in your RV for longer with lithium batteries and unlike lead-acid batteries, they deliver full power even as the energy level is depleted in their cells. Lead-acid batteries need to maintain at least a 50% charged level to deliver any power to your RV, but lithium batteries can be depleted up to 85% without damaging the batteries or diminishing the available power.

With lithium batteries, you do not need to add fluid or clean the battery terminals. They weigh about 1/3 of the weight of traditional lead batteries and they are not dangerous, nor do they emit any fumes. On the flip side, with lead batteries, it’s recommended that you have a battery power management system installed, but it is essential with a new lithium battery system.

The bottom line, if you can afford to replace your lead batteries with lithium batteries, you will probably save money over time. You certainly will have more power available for longer periods of time, and you won’t need to do any maintenance on the batteries. They are lighter, cleaner, safer, and more efficient.
