Power boards
These below boards do not come with a battery. They will require a lithium battery. You can use an existing or purchase a new one with us.
Few important tips for your power setup...
Sufficient stoage: You will need 100ah of battery storage per 1000watt of inverter to power an inverter
Daily usage estimate: Most vanlifers use 1–2 kWh per day (approx. 80–160Ah @12V).
Safety buffer: It’s good practice to leave 10–20% buffer if you are adding up all your usage.
Charging sources: Solar panels, alternator DC-DC charging, 240 plug in + shore power can help reduce the needed battery size or make sure it is quickly replenished.
