THE FRONT BOOT ZERO TO HERO Over the past decade, from almost zero commercial profile, lithium batteries have become the highest profile portable electrical storage system in the RV industry. With prices becoming more reasonable, they are becoming the standard in the field. Free campers, for example, prefer lithium deep- cycle batteries over lead acids for a number of reasons: such as their light weight and relatively small size; their high energy density; a greater use of the available capacity; fast recharge, and a longer life cycle. BMPRO, Australian designer and manufacturer of power management systems for caravans, is now offering BMPRO Sentry lithium batteries, which the company says have proven to be a perfect match to BMPRO’s own power management systems BP35HA and J35D, systems designed for high-amperage applications and supporting lithium batteries. NEED MORE POWER? If you are planning to upgrade to lithium, BMPRO recommends: 1. Check your current battery management system and upgrade to J35D (for Jayco caravans) or to BP35HA (for other brands); 2. Order BMPRO Sentry battery online (100Ah and 125Ah are currently available); 3. Invest in a lithium-compatible battery charger, such as BatteryCharge15.
