When travelling Australia’s wide-open roads, every kilo counts. This is never more true than when you’re trying to stay under the legal towing limits. One of the easiest ways to reduce your caravan’s weight is by upgrading from traditional AGM or lead-acid batteries to lithium. Lithium batteries can weigh up to two-thirds less than older tech, making them a great practical swap if you’re needing a sleek setup without sacrificing on performance.

Designed for Aussie Conditions

The iTechworld X Range was developed in Australia with rugged, real-world use in mind. These lithium batteries are certified to IP67 standards. For you, that means they’re waterproof and ready for external mounting on caravans, in 4WD engine bays, on boats, or anywhere else your travels take you. 

And because they’re designed as true drop-in replacements, upgrading doesn’t mean modifying your existing system. All you have to do is remove the old battery, slot in the new one and you’re on your way.

Smart Design and Lasting Power

From compact slimline units like the iTECH100SX to high-capacity options like the 400X PRO, the X Range is all about flexible sizing that’s ready for all kinds of installs. They’re particularly good when it comes to the tight quarters of a van or off-grid trailer. 

Every model offers a full 100% usable capacity; a big step up from the 50% you usually find with traditional batteries. That means more runtime and fewer charge cycles, alongside a lifespan that can run for over 10,000 cycles in the right conditions.

Connectivity, Wherever the Road Takes You

Modern power setups need visibility and control, and the X Range delivers. Integrated Bluetooth connectivity lets you track your battery’s health, capacity, voltage, and more via the iTechworld Connect App, right from your smartphone. 

It doesn’t matter if you’re running one unit or several in all at once, the app gives you the power to stay on top of your power status, all within a 10-metre range. Choose iTech World and get power solutions built for the bush, beach, and everything in between.
