Powering Adventures and Animal Rescues with RELiON Lithium Batteries
Meet Lee Asher, the heart behind The Asher House Animal Sanctuary, who travels around the US rescuing animals and hosting adoptions with his nonprofit. RELiON lithium batteries play a crucial role in powering Lee’s adventures and animal rescues, and his story offers valuable insights for New Zealand’s RV and van life enthusiasts.
Lee Asher’s Journey
Lee Asher founded The Asher House Animal Sanctuary to rescue animals and find them loving homes, travelling across the United States in his converted school bus. Having a reliable power source is essential for Lee’s bus to ensure the comfort and safety of the animals on board. Lee’s story resonates with many New Zealanders who are passionate about exploring our beautiful country in their RVs and vans.
Lee Asher’s Experience with RELiON Batteries
Lee switched from lead-acid batteries to RELiON lithium batteries for better reliability and durability. RELiON batteries have improved Lee’s van life experience, giving him the confidence to go anywhere without worrying about power. Lee’s advice for those considering a switch to lithium batteries is to embrace the change for a more enjoyable and worry-free travel experience. This is because of RELiON’s smart BMS system, there is reduced risk of damage to the system from under-voltage, over-voltage, short circuit and over-use.
Benefits of RELiON Lithium Batteries
RELiON lithium batteries have a longer lifespan, ensuring more years of worry-free power on the road. These batteries require zero maintenance, making them a convenient choice.
It’s important to note that lithium batteries prefer not to be charged at full capacity when the temperature is below 5 degrees Celsius. To overcome this, temperature-controlled charging is required to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the battery in colder conditions.
Why RELiON Batteries Are Ideal for the New Zealand Market
RELiON batteries ensure reliable power during extended trips across New Zealand’s diverse landscapes. These batteries cater to eco-conscious adventurers who want to reduce their environmental footprint. They help to reduce weight in RVs and vans, making your travels more fuel-efficient.
There are also benefits in the efficiency of charging and discharging of lithium batteries, giving you effectively 100% useable capacity, rather than the 20% of regular lead acid batteries.
