Its Nice when Others do Promotion for EV Power

This company started out life as our namesake in the EU. There is NO connection with EV Power Australia. They have just discovered the benefits of GBS batteries. Interesting to note that EV Power Australia has been selling GBS batteries already for nearly 10 years! We think they are great too, in fact we have BMS modules specific to these batteries.

Kimberley Karavan Conversion to Lithium

This is a recent job that we did for a client converting a Kimberley Karavan from ~120kg of lead to 28kg of Lithium. This time we used two of the EVH12V120AH batteries connected in parallel for 12V 240Ah, ~3kWhrs of storage. A very neat fit in the KK box!

Note that we used dual 100A circuit breakers to connect the two batteries to the 12V system. The advantage of this is that it is easy to isolate the batteries from the van and from each other when the van is being stored. We do not recommend continuous charging during storage. That was fine for lead batteries, not for Lithium.
