LITHIUM LEAD-ACID 10 years or more Lifespan 1-2 years High (more power per kg) Energy Density Lower (less power per kg) ~ 24 lbs Weight (100Ah) ~ 67 lbs 80 - 90%, without damage Depth of Discharge Recommended up to 50% 2,000 - 5,000 cycles Charge Cycles 300 - 500 cycles Faster (can be fully charged in a few hours) Charging Time Slower (can take 2x to fully charge) Minimal to none required Maintenance Regular maintenance needed 39 TECH TIPS buyers are drawn to self-sustaining power systems, especially as off-grid camping grows in popularity. 6. "Is lithium battery power really worth it compared to traditional batteries?" While lithium batteries are more expensive upfront, they offer longer life, quicker charging, and higher efficiency than leadacid batteries, making them a cost-effective choice over time. Lithium’s lighter weight is also an added bonus, particularly for RVers conscious of their load. 7. "How do I monitor my power usage?" Many systems include monitoring displays, such as Go Power!’s PowerTrak, which shows real-time data on remaining battery life and power consumption. Some systems also offer mobile apps, enabling remote monitoring. 8. "What if I want to use highpower appliances like a coffee maker or hairdryer?" Solar systems paired with power inverters can support high-power devices. Depending on usage, customers may need a robust inverter setup or additional battery capacity. 9. "Are there any hidden costs with solar systems?" The primary cost of solar systems is the upfront investment in panels, batteries, and installation. After that, maintenance costs are minimal, often just a yearly cleaning and check-up. 10. "Will my RV insurance cover solar and lithium battery systems?" Most RV insurance policies can include solar systems and batteries. Customers should check with their insurer to ensure these items are covered or add them to their policy if needed. Selling Solar with Confidence Addressing common objections and questions effectively can turn potential resistance into interest. Educate customers on the longterm benefits and freedom that solar, lithium batteries, and inverters bring to their RV lifestyle. With the right information, RVers can make empowered choices that enhance their travel experiences, allowing them to explore confidently and sustainability. By offering clear, relatable responses to these objections, you help customers see that solar and lithium battery upgrades are not just addons but valuable investments in a worry-free and sustainable RV lifestyle.
