This cutting-edge feature connects your battery to any tablet, or smartphone granting you instant access to essential data and management tools. Seamlessly track your battery’s state of charge, voltage, current flow, and temperature in real-time, all from the convenience of your phone or tablet. The app’s streamlined interface provides you with an accurate estimate of charging rates and available run-tim, so you’re always informed and prepared. Troubleshooting is a breeze, as the app delivers immediate battery health reports and practical advice for any issues detected, ensuring continuous, reliable power for your adventures.

Power Control

The LightningVolt Button works like a power switch to activate/deactivate your lithium Off-Grid Solar battery. Use the LightningVolt Button when you intend to store the battery for an extended period. By deactivating the battery, the power consumption of the Battery Management System (BMS) is reduced to zero, enabling the battery to be stored without experiencing a drop in voltage or state of charge. It even shields the battery from parasitic draws which means you can store your battery in your RV for extended periods without removing the battery terminal connections.

It’s also a battery safety mechanism! We recommend using the LightningVolt Button to deactivate the battery to ensure user safety and to prevent shorting out components while working on the RV’s battery circuit and during transportation.

DC Charging Built-In

Experience seamless energy integration with LightningVolt featuring built-in DC-DC charger for effortless charging from solar panels or your vehicle’s alternator. Ideal for RV solar systems and off-grid applications, this innovative charger supports direct connections, bypassing the need for additional isolators, switchgear, or even MPPT solar controllers, streamlining your solar setup and reducing installation complexity.

Our built-in charger is engineered to prevent alternator overload by regulating the charging input and includes an automatic disconnect to protect your starting battery, ensuring reliable and safe operation. It’s perfect for those seeking efficient solar charging solutions or desiring a maintenance-free addition to their off-grid solar power system. The built-in LightningVolt DC charger is only available on 12V batteries as they cannot charge more than 12V.

With the integration of this advanced DC-DC charging feature, our batteries are an indispensable component for solar-powered RVs, off-grid living, and mobile energy solutions.

Self-resetting BMS + Built-In Circuit Protection

Every LightningVolt™ battery is defined by it’s proprietary Battery Management System (BMS) – internal programming that not only safeguards the battery but significantly extends its performance & service life. Our BMS stands out with an innovative self-resetting feature, ensuring that in the event of protective tripping, the system automatically regains functionality without manual intervention.

The built-in circuit breaker is a critical safety component of LightningVolt batteries, allowing for the parallel connection of multiple batteries without the need for external fuses, significantly reducing installation complexity and enhancing safety. Unlike other lithium batteries that limit you to only four parallel connections, LightningVolt batteries break this barrier, enabling the construction of battery banks of any size – even megawatt capacities! Ideal for builds starting small that will see future increases in power and solar storage.

Precision Active Cell Balancing

You want power. LightningVolt lithium batteries originally designed by Roadwarrior, for heavy duty trucking, was adapted for boats and motorhomes to give you more power in every detail. LightningVolt’s precision active cell balancing ensures maximum capacity from each and every charge cycle, even under heavy use. LightningVolt is capable of 2000 – 4000 Charge cycles that’s 10 times more life compared to traditional batteries with 2 times greater depth of discharge, every time. More power, more freedom, and more time out having fun with less time charging or idling. 2X more power, and you want more power.

Designed for Deep Discharge

LightningVolt™ features LFP battery technology which lets it withstand repeated deep discharges, at consistent discharge voltages, to as low as 95%. In contrast, discharging a lead-acid battery below 50% even once damages it. LightningVolt™ doubles the stored power you can use without damaging the battery..

What this means for you?

LightningVolt™ offers twice the runtime between charges, so you can use more, higher-draw home appliances, or run your devices for longer! This extra power increases security and comfort for RVers with children and pets. At the same time, it gives dry campers, boondockers, and digital nomads the confidence to stay longer in more remote camping spots. LightningVolt’s consistent discharge voltage also means you get the same power output down to 5% charged and won’t see reduced performance with low charge levels.

Freeze-Cycle Tested

Take on the harshest of climates with confidence with freeze-cycle tested LightningVolt batteries, engineered to excel in any off-grid solar battery systems. Designed to operate optimally in low temperatures without the need for energy-depleting heated batteries or heating pads. Unlike competitors’ that rely on heating elements and pads that drain capacity and shorten lifespans, LightningVolt batteries are engineered to self-regulate heat during discharge cycles. This intelligent design allows for a reduction in charge rates at colder temperatures, preserving the integrity and endurance of the battery. Freeze-cycle tested to withstand low-temp conditions, LightningVolt batteries ensure your off-grid solar setup remains robust and reliable, providing you with dependable energy storage that stands up to the challenges of extreme weather.

For off-gridders and RV solar power users, the proven freeze-cycle testing of our batteries is a game-changer, affirming their reliability in extreme temperatures and diverse climates. This testing guarantees that the battery cells can withstand and perform optimally in cold conditions, making them a dependable power source for any off-grid and mobile solar system you can think of.

FAQs

Can I combine LightningVolt™ with other batteries?

LightningVolt batteries can be connected with other batteries using the LightningVolt DC-DC charger/isolator or other isolator device. It is not recommended to connect batteries of different chemistries, voltages, or capacities.

How should I store my LightningVolt™ battery?

LightningVolt batteries feature a proprietary power control button. A long press of the button will disconnect the internal cells from the BMS, Bluetooth connection, and any external loads so your battery will last longer in storage. The battery can be stored safely in freezing conditions, but it should not be stored in high heat.

Can LightningVolt™ be used to start my engine?

We do not recommend LightningVolt™ as a replacement starter battery or for jump-start applications on combustion engines. LightningVolt™ batteries are designed for long term storage and deep discharge. Engine starting is the one application when traditional lead acid batteries really excel.
