How to reduce the weight of your caravan
We have become creatures of comfort in our old age. Nowadays, we want our household appliances on the road with us; glamping has replaced camping. Whether we are having our daily coffee fix from our pod coffee machine or cooking a frittata on an electric cooktop, caravanning has drastically changed over the last 10-20 years. iTechworld has designed the iTECH120X 120Ah Lithium Battery to keep up with today's avid camper.

The new iTECH120X lithium battery is the pinnacle of deep-cycle battery design. Delivering unprecedented weight savings, performance, and product life span, the iTECH120X is the battery for the year 2020. The revolutionary iTECH120X boasts advanced components that have been designed and developed in Australia. Family owned and operated iTechworld have been at the forefront of lithium technology in Australia for the last 14 years and are now widely regarding as the number one lithium battery manufacturer in the country. During these difficult times, iTechworld is backing the Australian economy by using Lithium sourced locally to manufacture the iTECH120X.
The iTECH120X will operate with just about any charging system. You can replace your heavy AGM batteries with the iTECH120X, with no extensive changes required to your existing charging methods. The iTECH120X is the only real lithium drop-in replacement battery.
Traditional AGM batteries are heavy. One AGM battery can weigh a back-breaking 30+kg. An iTECH120X almost defies physics as it weighs up to third less than conventional AGM batteries but has much more power available. The iTECH120X weighs just 12kg; it is easy to transport and install.

The iTECH120X has little to no resistance in the lithium cells, allowing recharge times to be up to 5 times quicker than AGM batteries. Faster recharge times ensures you get the most from your solar system.
Traditional lead-acid batteries have a life cycle of 400 - 500 cycles. The iTECH120X has a very long-life cycle up to 5000 cycles at 50% depth of discharge. The iTECH120X will last up to four times longer than its lead-acid counterpart batteries.
The iTECH120X battery has an IP67 rating. IP67 means the iTECH120X can survive in water up to a meter deep for half an hour. The iTECH120X is also 100% dustproof. Corrugated roads will damage equipment of they are not fit for purpose. The iTECH120X can handle corrugated roads and vibrations.
The iTECH120X has little to no self-discharge rate allowing the battery to sit unused for long periods without the fear of the battery going flat.
The heartbeat of the iTECH120X is the Australian designed inbuilt Battery Management System (BMS). The BMS controls cell balancing, over and under-voltage protection, short circuit protection and, thermal protection. The iTECH120X carries an impressive three-year, full replacement warranty.
The iTECH120X can be used in parallel to increase your capacity for more extended storage. New developments by iTechworld in lithium battery manufacturing now allows an unlimited amount of iTECH120X batteries in a parallel configuration.
The iTECH120X has been purpose-built for use in Australia with Caravans, Campers, Motorhomes, 4WD, Marine Vessels, Trucks, battery boxes, and everything in-between.
