What size of lithium battery is suitable for motorhomes?

The difference between RV electricity and residential electricity


Residential houses have only simple "distribution" and "electricity", while RVs are a complete electrical energy system. This electrical energy system is roughly divided into "three sections and seven links."


Three sectors: power generation, electricity storage, and electricity consumption;


Seven links: power generation-power transmission-charging-power storage-inverter-power distribution-power consumption.


How to solve the problem of insufficient electricity in the RV


Under the background that the development camp of China's RV industry is relatively lagging behind, we are facing a big problem that is "not enough electricity." After we understand the "three sections and seven links" of the RV power system, we probably have a direction for the transformation of the RV power system.


RV Power System Balance Theory


"The shortboard of the wooden barrel determines the amount of water in the entire wooden barrel." None of the seven links in the three sections of the RV power system can be a shortboard, and the shortboard in any one link will cause the rest of the links to waste. The purpose of the transformation of the electric power system of the RV is to eliminate shortcomings and seek balance.


Use "power consumption" to push back "barrels"


How should the entire electric power system of our RV match? How big is the "bucket" appropriate? The larger the theoretical "bucket", the better, but considering many factors such as cost-effectiveness, overall space utilization, and lightweight RV, this "bucket" should be moderate and sufficient.


Learn to use electricity reasonably


RVs have limited power. In order to pursue cost-effectiveness and a balanced utilization ratio of space, we must learn to use electricity reasonably.


The rational use of electricity follows 2 basic principles:


1. Power, frequent use of electrical appliances, try to use alternative energy sources.


After all, RVs are not at home. Although RVs can bring us convenience during travel, some of the disadvantages of their functions are unavoidable. We can only save electricity as much as possible.


2. "We live within our means" and do not overdraft electricity.


Electricity for RVs is relatively limited, so it is very important to save and live within your means. For ordinary lead-acid batteries, two or three over discharges are enough to completely scrap the battery. Therefore, as far as possible, it is necessary to choose a lithium iron phosphate battery with relatively good cost performance.


The specific content of the electric power system transformation of the RV


The design of the electric energy system of the finished RV mostly imitates the popularization model of camps in developed countries. So once it leaves the camp, it is difficult for the RV to meet the basic electricity demand. The transformation of the electric power system is particularly important.


The transformation of the electric power system is to make rational use of new energy; the second is to make up for shortcomings and break through bottlenecks.


The RV lithium iron phosphate battery pack is composed of: battery pack, overcharge and over discharge protection system, monomer balance control system, cabinet, etc. Individual manufacturers have also installed a battery cell maintenance interface for the temperature protection system. The RV lithium iron phosphate battery pack has many advantages such as safety, reliability, small size, lightweight, no overcharge and over-discharge, and long service life. As a new energy source, it has been rapidly popularized in the field of RV electric energy. Perfectly solve the "storage" link of the RV electric energy system.


As a kind of clean energy, solar power panels make reasonable use of the roof space, reduce heat radiation in the car, and continuously convert light energy into electric energy. Although the power generation of "zero storage and integration" type of power generation does not seem to have much power, the continuous accumulation of quantitative accumulation cannot be underestimated. Especially important for battery maintenance charging. Can effectively extend battery life.


The two most overlooked links


Factors such as the selection of circuit wire diameter and line loss give a lot of room for transformation of the RV transmission line. Bottlenecks such as switches and relays in the control distribution circuit often exist in many finished RVs. There are still many areas that can be optimized in these two links. The upgrade and transformation should aim at reducing "running leaks".


In addition, the choice of any equipment such as chargers, inverters, and solar controllers is also extremely important. It can also effectively eliminate shortcomings and increase the amount of water in the "bucket".
