Lithium Battery Upgrade
Lithium Battery Upgrade
More power, less worry
Upgrade your camper’s power system with a reliable lithium battery setup. At Vanlifer, we install advanced LiFePO₄ lithium batteries from trusted brands like Victron Energy, Enerdrive, and Renogy. Each installation is tested, safe, and designed to integrate with your solar, inverter, and 12 V systems while meeting New Zealand’s Green Warrant and electrical standards.
Why upgrade to lithium?
Lithium batteries last longer, charge faster, and deliver more usable energy than AGM or lead-acid systems. They’re lightweight, maintenance-free, and ideal for modern campervans with fridges, inverters, and high-power devices. With proper installation, you’ll enjoy reliable off-grid power without worrying about running out of charge.
