Lithium Deep Cycle Battery

A lithium deep cycle battery is essential for giving you power where you do not have access to standard grid power. These can be used in camping situations, boating sheds, or any outbuilding where getting power could be difficult. As they can be recharged using solar panels, you can effectively have power available whenever you need it. Many people have a set of solar panels fixed to the roof of their vehicles and these will charge the battery as you drive, or parked in a suitably sunny position.

When you 're needing power, it is tempting to simply use the car battery, but these are not designed for providing consistent power like you 'd need to run lighting or any powered appliance. Only with a lithium battery are you going to get the power you need to keep everything running properly.

How to select the right lithium deep cycle battery?

To find out which lithium deep cycle battery is best for you, you 'll need to figure out how much power you need daily, and how fast you can recharge them. There are a few ways that you can get power into your battery, however, for camping or outbuildings, the most common method is to pair it up with suitable solar panels and make use of free energy from the sun.

Working out the right battery you need is a matter of examining all the items you're planning on running and adding up the amp hours (Ah) they 'll consume. Then take how many hours you plan on running them and this will give you how many amp hours in total you 'll be using in a day. To factor in the recharge rate, check your solar panels and multiply the wattage by the number of daylight hours in a single day (the Australian average is seven), then convert that to Ah (Watts/Volts = Ah) so you can see how much power it 'll add back into the battery.

How do you charge a lithium deep cycle battery?

A lithium deep cycle battery can be charged using a few different methods. You can use a regular mains power operated lithium battery charger, suitable solar panels (such as the Outbax camping solar panels, or solar blankets), or a portable generator. While it is possible to use a standard lead-acid battery charger, this is not recommended as if you don 't have the appropriate settings on the charger you can shorten the life of your lithium battery.

If you only have a lead-acid battery charger and it is an emergency you 'll need to set the maximum voltage and that the automatic equalisation mode is turned on. Most modern battery chargers will have these settings available. If you do not have an automatic equalisation mode, you can still use the charger, but you 'll need to keep an eye on the battery levels and manually take it off the charger when it is at a full charge.
