Dual battery systems are now often considered to be one of the most essential modifications to any vehicle used for camping. A small and simple system can easily allow you to run a fridge and a few lights overnight while more elaborate setups can see you running, multiple fridges, coffee machines, induction cooktops and even hair dryers.
Finding the right solution to be able to run your fridge, a few lights and charge devices is probably the most common request for those with a 4WD or simple camper set up.
While the solutions we provide for this are not off the shelf and vary depend on how you travel, they can all offer the same benefits;
Hassle-free power without the need to worry about your cranking battery
Provide a solar input to charge batteries without the vehicle running
Monitor your battery usage at any time with your phone
Reduced weight and faster charging
Camping from your 4WD with the luxuries from home is becoming an ever more common request. The key to setting up a system like this is the Revolution Power Australia high draw lithium battery range. These batteries allow for high capacity continuous draw meaning that you can run large inverters to power things such as induction cooktops, toasters, hairdryers and other standard 240v appliances.
Vans are a prime example of where keeping weight down, but having extensive battery storage is key. With the desire to be able to have most of the simple comforts of home, vanlife-ers often find they are overdrawing the simple vehicle battery systems and come to us for a long term solution that can provide power for their homes on the road.
Revolution Power recently set up a van for someone who is on the road 24/7 but liked to stay in places for a few days at a time. The solution was simple but offered a massive amount of benefit:
Charge batteries from the vehicle motor or via solar
Ability to monitor his batteries condition on their phone
Enough battery storage to run his 12V fridge and main lights for 2 days with no solar or engine input
Occasionally use an induction cooktop for when an outside BBQ wasn’t feasible
