Lithium Batteries

Not really. Compared to traditional options, LiFePO4 lithium batteries offer better safety, more power, and a longer lifespan. While the upfront cost can be higher, you're getting 4x the cycle life, no maintenance, and 100% usable capacity. That means fewer batteries, less hassle, and all round better value over time.

A “regular” 12 volt car battery or AGM battery is heavier, slower to charge, and typically only gives you about 50% of its total capacity. An iTechworld 12V lithium battery is lighter, faster to charge, lasts longer, and provides steady power all the way down to the last amp. Plus, it’s safer because there’s no acid, no fumes, and no maintenance.

One of the best lithium battery advantages is the ability to run everything your adventure needs.  A 120Ah lithium deep cycle battery gives you reliable power for:

• A 12V fridge/freezer for up to 3 days
• LED lighting, fans, and phone/laptop chargers
• TVs, radios, and water pumps
• Small inverters for coffee machines or CPAP devices

Pair it with solar or a DCDC charger and the perfect rig for off-grid camping, 4WD touring, or remote work setups. When you need a little more juice, consider scaling up to a 200Ah or 240Ah lithium 12V battery, or running a bank of 120Ah units.

Watch the video of Perth couple, Sarah and Keelan Travels as they explain why they chose the 120Ah lithium deep cycle battery (one of our highest sellers and simply the best battery for caravan, camping and 4WD off-road enthusiasts) for their life-changing caravan trip around Australia. Saving weight = saving fuel, and Keelan cuts 60kg from his GCM just by switching to lithium deep cycle batteries - the perfect battery bank for the big lap.

Did you know we now have a 100% usable capacity, IP67 waterproof 120Ah battery? View the iTECH120X PRO deep cycle lithium battery.

If you're looking for bigger capacity from one battery, check out the 200Ah lithium battery or our very latest iTECH240X PRO and iTECH400X PRO IP67 waterproof 100% usable capacity 240Ah lithium battery and 400Ah lithium battery models.

We've also written a blog post on the best lithium battery for your caravan.

Our 12V LiFePO4 lithium deep cycle batteries have been designed with the Australian outdoors in mind. LiFePO4 batteries are tough, damage-resistant, waterproof, and deliver 12 volts at a constant discharge rate. If you love camping, you'll be impressed by the long lasting power of these batteries.

These batteries are so stable that you won’t see a drop in power until the last amp has been delivered. These batteries deliver more power than an AGM battery. You will be safe from fumes, acid spills and they weigh approx. 1/3 of a traditional battery.

Due to its low resistance, a lithium deep cycle battery is easily and rapidly rechargeable using solar panels, AC and DC to DC battery chargers. Safe to use even on the hottest summer day with operational temperatures up to 80°C. 

When your iTechworld battery is not in use, we recommend completely isolating the battery, charging it to 13.5V then checking the voltage every 3 months. You can then charge the battery as needed. 

To ensure your battery is completely isolated, disconnect it from any connected devices or systems. Alternatively, keep our maintenance chargers connected permanently. However, if the battery is going to be completely out of use you do not need to keep it connected.

You can charge lithium batteries in as little as 2-4 hours. As some of the lithium deep cycle models having a huge capacity, a complete charge can take up to 12 hours. Just recharge the batteries when they are low, and away you go. With a DC to DC charger (the perfect accompaniment), you can even charge the battery while you’re driving, without solar. Fast charging without fuss! We also stock our own range of AC to DC chargers, too.

You should also consider pairing your battery with a solar blanket to harness the power of the sun.

A lithium battery should be the heart of every power system. These batteries are so handy if you are going on long trips. You still need to recharge, but they last so much longer. We all have mobile phones, so we all need to recharge them.

When camping, consider the power needs of others who travel with you. Have you got a fridge-freezer? Will you need to power a coffee machine? What about laptops and tablets? Maybe even a hair straightener? You'll be surprised how many creature comforts you or your partner wished you packed. These little luxuries can make camping so much more enjoyable for your whole family. By calculating how many amps you need, you can work out which battery and how many you need to power all your devices.

More power is always best but whichever option you select, you will love your investment with iTechworld.

A LiFePO4 lithium deep cycle battery can power most off-road vehicles and caravans, suitable for portable fridges, washing machines, inverters and more. These batteries are perfect for any camping trip where you're running everything but the kitchen sink, and still have power at your fingertips. Lithium deep cycle batteries are one of the safest ways to power your site. They are not as volatile as petrol, gas, or acid-filled AGM battery or lead-acid models. They're lightweight, too - weighing approximately 60% less than standard AGM or lead batteries.

A LiFePO4 deep cycle lithium lasts about 4 times as long as an AGM or lead-acid battery. This long lifespan is because they can cycle over 2,000 times while AGM or lead-acid is good for about 500 cycles (A cycle is the number of times a battery can discharge and then fully charge). A lithium deep cycle model will store more power, you'll get more charges out of it, they are usually a drop-in replacement battery, and you can power more devices at once. That's what makes these batteries so much better than the older technology. Our lithium deep cycle range offer unrivalled performance over other batteries.

A LiFePO4 lithium car battery that can discharge about 100Ah will weigh around 11 - 13kg, while an AGM or lead-acid will weigh around 28kg, almost 1/3 the weight. A LiFePO4 battery recharges faster due to its lower internal resistance and makes it a far better option for camping.

On average most people will see at least seven years of battery life and reliable power before a noticeable decrease in performance from iTechworld lithium deep cycle batteries.

Our LiFePO4 batteries have cell balancing that increases their lifespan. The iTechworld lithium deep cycle range has an internal Battery Management System (BMS) that controls the power going in and out.

How long the lithium deep cycle lasts will depend on how many, and what type, of appliances are drawing from it. Using a battery volt meter can help in knowing how much power is left before they need to be recharged. Handy if you're out camping and need enough power to make it through the night.

In short, yes, an under bonnet lithium battery is quite common. An important note: you will be exposing it to excessive heat, and may see a decrease in battery life over a long period of time.

For under-bonnet use, we strongly recommend a battery heat shield to protect the 120X and the 120X PRO models.

Our lithium batteries are fully tested under varied and realistic Australian conditions. They are safe from decay, explosion, and overheating. The lithium deep cycle range provides reliable, longer lasting power.

A question we're constantly asked is 'are lithium batteries dangerous?'. Mobile phone lithium batteries have been known to overheat and explode. Our LiFePO4 batteries use a Battery Management System (BMS) and the material used inside is lithium iron phosphate. They are still lithium batteries, but more evolved and tailored for our harsh Australian environment.

We strongly recommend buying lithium deep cycle batteries and chargers from an established Australian company. The Western Australian Government states: "...reputable battery manufacturers have matched battery/charger combinations which include an automatic monitoring system to detect the state of charge. When nearing full charge, the charger is switched off." - read more here.

A LiFePO4 lithium battery is a type of rechargeable battery that lets you store electricity generated by solar panels or supplied through mains or vehicle charging to use later. They’re popular with people towing caravans and with off-grid setups as they’re lightweight but last a long time.

Which size lithium battery you need depends what you plan to run off it and how long you want to run it for. For a smaller setup, a 100Ah lithium battery or a 120Ah lithium battery may be enough, while a 200Ah lithium battery or 300Ah lithium battery is better suited for longer trips or running more appliances or devices.

While AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries were once the go-to for caravans, lithium batteries tend to be the way to go these days. Lithium batteries for caravans are lighter, charge faster and let you use more of the stored electricity before recharging than an AGM battery, so can be very worthwhile for longer trips or running larger setups.
