Power your adventures with a reliable, efficient leisure battery system installed by Unfollow Camper Vans.
The Heart of Your Campervan’s Electrical System
Every campervan electrical setup depends on one key component — the leisure battery. It’s what stores the energy that keeps your lights, fridge, water pump, and electronics running when you’re off-grid.
At Unfollow Camper Vans, we install high-quality battery systems designed around your travel style and power needs. Whether you’re running a simple weekend setup or a full off-grid system with solar and an inverter, we’ll make sure you’ve got the right battery capacity to keep everything running smoothly.
Battery Types: AGM vs LiFePO₄
There are a few different types of leisure batteries, each with their pros and cons. Here’s a quick overview:
- AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) – A reliable and affordable option. Maintenance-free and suitable for lighter use, but heavier and slower to recharge.
- LiFePO₄ (Lithium Iron Phosphate) – The latest and most efficient technology. Lightweight, fast-charging, and designed for deep cycling without losing performance.
We’re seeing more and more customers choosing LiFePO₄ batteries for their conversions — and for good reason.
Why Choose LiFePO₄ Batteries?
1. Higher efficiency
LiFePO₄ batteries are up to 95% efficient, compared to around 80% for traditional AGM batteries. That means more of the energy you generate (from solar or charging systems) actually gets stored and used.
2. Longer lifespan
A quality lithium battery can handle thousands of charge cycles — often lasting 10 years or more with proper care.
3. Lightweight and compact
Lithium batteries weigh roughly half as much as equivalent AGM units, which helps keep your van’s total weight down and improves efficiency.
4. Faster charging
LiFePO₄ batteries recharge much faster, especially when paired with solar panels or a DC-DC charger. That means less time waiting for your batteries to top up and more time enjoying your trip.
5. More usable energy
You can safely use up to 90% of a LiFePO₄ battery’s capacity, whereas AGM batteries should only be discharged to around 50%. That gives you almost double the usable power from the same size battery.
Planning the Right Battery Setup
At Unfollow Camper Vans, we take the time to understand how you use your van before recommending a battery setup. We’ll calculate your average daily energy use and design a system that balances capacity, weight, and cost.
We can install:
- Single or dual battery systems
- Integrated solar and charging setups
- Battery monitoring systems for live performance data
Whether you’re upgrading from AGM to LiFePO₄ or starting fresh with a new build, we’ll make sure your system is safe, efficient, and future-proof.
Power Systems the Unfollow Way
We don’t just fit parts — we design complete electrical systems that work together. Every installation is carried out safely, neatly, and to professional standards, using quality components that we know and trust.
With a properly installed LiFePO₄ setup, you’ll have reliable power for longer trips, less maintenance, and a system that performs better in every way.
