Lithium batteries: Are they worth the upgrade for your motorhome?
This week, Matt and Keith take a deep dive into the new technology of lithium leisure batteries, how they work and whether you actually need one for your motorhome, campervan or caravan.
Lithium batteries are becoming more popular in leisure vehicles, with many people deciding to replace their more traditional wet lead acid batteries, but they are a much bigger initial investment. Matt shines a light on the questions you should ask yourself and your installer before committing, from usage, replacing old batteries, solar charging and the full costs involved.
We also drop in on Oakleigh, from the award-winning Bristol Caravans, to get his take on what types of circumstances might make a lithium battery worthwhile.

Good watch , although I’m not sure how a £700 lithium battery ends up costing 6-7k with the added extras …. Seems a bit excessive to me 😮
Hi,
Thanks Matt for asking the questions that need answering
Ever thought about just putting a link to the Oaktree interviews? I cannot find it anywhere.
Excellent review of the lithium choices. Yes it is expensive when professionally installed, set to work and an installation certificate for the owner.
Hi Matt, Just watched your video, fantastic info very helpful for me as this is what I will be doing at some stage this year. Please help as I can't find the link that you mention about Oakleigh wood video. I liked to watch this video about Lithiums battery systems. Many thanks for your help, Russell.
Hi Matt, by implication it feels like you are saying you shouldn't use an invertor with a leisure type battery due to the drain curve, however I would think if you have enough battery capacity and monitor the usage it would be okay. I'm updating my 2001 Herald MH for off grid use, and will end up with 2 or 3 leisure batteries with up to 300 AH, a 1500w invertor and would imagine I can get away with some heavy use, but keeping an eye on voltage drop, would you agree?
A battery pack is between 8 to 20 grand
Is hydrogen a alternative
£6.5k 🤣🤣 motorhome tax in full effect folks!
