Battery Management has become a sophisticated and integral part of off-grid camping, thanks mainly to the widespread adoption of 12V refrigeration and the need to power a camping fridge reliably.
Â
Much of this need revolves around installing Dual Battery Systems, isolator switches, DC-to-DC chargers, portable power stations and/or a broad range of 12V plugs, sockets and accessories.
Moreover, as lithium battery technology improves and solar becomes more affordable, the field of vehicle-based Battery Management has expanded into a rapidly evolving market, encompassing solar panels, regulators, MPPT chargers, and a variety of 12V inverters.
Important questions to consider on this topic include:
– Is a Dual Battery System worth it for the type of camping you do?
– What Dual Battery System do you need, a DC to DC charger or a solenoid / relay system?
– Should you install a portable battery box, or a hardwired system?
– Is lithium compatibility necessary?
– Do you want to add a solar panel to your 4×4, and if so, what size panel do you need?
– Do you want to power 220V accessories?
