The whispering call of the wilderness, starry nights as your only ceiling, and the promise of the unknown. Our team, like our customers, knows all too well how living off the grid unlocks a world of freedom and self-reliance. At Expion360, we offer a comprehensive range of lithium battery backup solutions designed to make this venturing possible. Whether you’re headed on an RV road trip or need backup power while camping, our products help you get there.
Understanding Your Power Needs
The first step is to get a clear picture of your power consumption. Consider all the appliances and devices you plan to use off-grid and ask yourself:
- What type of off-grid application will you be using the battery for? Is it for occasional weekend camping trips or extended adventures?
- What is the overall amp-hour capacity you’ll need for all appliances?
- How many hours per day will you be using each appliance?
- How will your battery backup be charged? Will you be relying solely on solar panels, or will you have access to a generator as a backup charging source?
Other Key Considerations
Different applications have unique requirements, and it's essential to evaluate the features that are specifically tailored to the intended use. For off-grid rigs, consider features such as rugged construction, vibration resistance, and the ability to withstand varying environmental conditions. Marine applications may require waterproof and corrosion-resistant properties, while recreational vehicles may benefit from compact and lightweight designs. Expion360 offers a range of lithium battery backups with application-specific features to ensure optimal performance in any environment.
Use this as a checklist for efficient power solutions:
- System Voltage: Ensure the system's voltage output matches the voltage requirements of your appliances. Most household appliances in North America operate on 120V AC, while some may require 240V AC.
- Continuous and Peak Power Output: The continuous power output specifies the sustained power the system can deliver, while the peak output indicates the maximum surge it can handle for short bursts. Choose a system with a continuous output exceeding your average power needs and a peak output that accommodates occasional high-wattage appliances.
- Inverter Efficiency: The inverter converts DC battery power to usable AC power. A higher inverter efficiency minimizes energy loss during conversion, maximizing the available power from your lithium battery backup.
- Durability and Safety Features: Look for a system with robust build quality and built-in safety features like overcharge and over-discharge protection to ensure long-lasting performance and user safety.
