AGM vs lithium battery bank: which way should you go
So you have questions about AGM vs lithium batteries for your caravan or perhaps a caravan you are considering? Choosing the right battery option for your caravan is an important decision, and
We wanted more power in order to stay off-grid for longer in my late model 21' Jayco Silverline Outback caravan. After searching throughout Brisbane, the Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast I called Takalvans in Bundaberg where I spoke to Dale. I explained that I wanted to stay with the BMPRO battery management system as it was already installed in the Silverline. It was immediately obvious that he had a deep understanding of this system and within a few days of emails being swapped back and forth, we had a system worked out and priced. After paying the deposit I was booked in and drove the 5 hours from Brisbane up to Bundaberg. The lads installed 5 x 200 Watt solar panels, 3 x 200 Ah Lithium Batteries a 2,000 Watt inverter and all the latest BMPRO power management systems reporting to the already installed JHub tablet. They also installed the BMPRO SmartSense range of Monitors for Tyre Pressures, Fridge and Freezer temperatures and Gas Bottle Levels, all of which also reported back to the JHub tablet or App downloaded from Playstore. They also installed a brand new Dometic Harrier air conditioner and were good enough to do some other minor repairs while the van was there. The installed system works perfectly and we now have almost unlimited off-grid power to run our appliances and the A/C, all night if needed. Thank you to Dale and the team at Takalvans in Bundaberg.
