ROOFER with LiFePO4 batteries powers RVs and cabin cruisers, solar, sweepers and stair lifts, fishing boats, and more applications discovered all the time.
Lithium batteries have revolutionized the outdoor adventure industry. But camping is just one of the many uses for 12v lithium batteries.

They have more uses than you think. Read on to discover 9 amazing uses for lithium batteries that will make your life easier and more fun!

#1 Lightweight Juice for Bass Boats and Trolling Motors

Traditional batteries end up “cheating” you with their attractive cheap price tags but poor quality. Cabin cruisers, catamarans and larger sailboats will benefit from the weight and size of the 12v lithium battery – the footprint is smaller and takes up less space in compact areas. Weighing only 34 pounds, they are half the weight of equivalent lead-acid batteries, improving on-water performance and agility.

#2 Go on an adventure in your RV or travel trailer

Lithium batteries are the leader in RVs, and for good reason! People who have them love them, people who don’t have them…well, they want them. Why? Because no other battery technology offers the same output and reliability as lithium. Its lifespan and performance are far superior to those of its competitors; it is ultra-light, more durable, and maintenance-free. Whether you’re a casual worker, a snowbird, or a full-time hobbyist, your RV is sure to benefit from the many uses of a 12v lithium battery.

#3 Big Power in a Tiny House

If you think a tiny house is just for watching TV, think again. More and more people are switching to these compact cases, in part because they are easy to power. Vacation rental, anyone? As long as your power needs are minimal, you can enjoy an affordable weekend in your tiny home! So go ahead and equip your eco-friendly living space with equally eco-friendly solar installations and 12V lithium batteries. Mother Earth will thank you for it (and so will your wallet).

#4 Promote travel around town (or house)

If you rely on a mobility scooter or electric wheelchair, a 12-volt lithium battery can be your declaration of independence. It will lighten the load on the scooter and make it easier to maneuver. It charges faster and lasts longer than traditional batteries. This way you have more time to do the things you love with the people you love.

#5 Instant Backup Power

Let’s start with the main points. If you use critical medical equipment and live in a place where the threat of power outages is a constant one, you need emergency backup power. The 12v lithium battery can fuel backup and keep your essentials running when you need them most. Unlike generators, lithium batteries provide instant power, ensuring your appliances are not damaged by power outages. Another great reason to appreciate your 12v lithium battery!

#6 Energy Storage for Small Solar Installations

Are you passionate about going green? Harness renewable energy through small solar panel installations. Use it to charge your 12v lithium battery and you can store energy for emergencies. Lithium batteries and solar panels are a perfect pair when it comes to charging. This is because lithium batteries charge quickly and require low resistance to charge, which is exactly what solar panels provide. See all solar lithium batteries here!

#7 Portable Power Supply for All Your “Extra Needs”

There is no shame in “glamping”. If you could use a 12V lithium battery to power your laptop, phone, speakers, fan, and TV, we’d say, “Why not bring them all?” 12V lithium batteries are so lightweight that you can put them in Backpacking for a hike. Lithium can also withstand harsher temperatures and exercise, two aspects that go hand in hand with outdoor adventures.

#8 A way to work in the wilderness

When it comes to powering your laptop while traveling, some of us call it a necessity rather than an “extra.” A power bank is a must-have for those who need to connect a camera or power a computer for daily tasks. Your 12-volt lithium battery will provide lightweight power that you can take anywhere. You can also count on the battery to charge quickly (2 hours or less). No matter how far into the wilderness you are, you can get stable, reliable performance from the 12v lithium battery. (Now you can work from anywhere…so no excuses…)

#9 Power your surveillance or alarm system off-grid

Don’t expect to say goodbye to burglaries just because you’re off the grid (or in a place with unreliable power). Sometimes you need an alarm system to protect your belongings (or your family), and a reliable 12v lithium battery ensures it stays on. Even better, lithium batteries don’t drain themselves quickly when not in use, so you can be sure you’re not wasting power when your system is inactive or powered by the grid.
