Inspiring user experiences

I bought the van in 2013 and started converting it into a small campervan. Initially, I installed a basic setup with a kitchen, bed, and water supply. This allowed me to enjoy independent weekends. Over the years, my needs have changed, so I've upgraded the campervan's features to be able to live in it and take longer trips. I also wanted to improve my energy self-sufficiency. To that end, in 2020 I installed a solar panel to boost the vehicle's standard battery. However, since I love being in touch with nature and enjoy spending extended periods in remote locations, this still wasn't enough to meet my needs. befriedigen.Ich I needed more electricity, among other things to edit my YouTube videos and to spend several hours at the computer. arbeiten.Dann I discovered the Power Queen LiFePO4 batteries, which greatly improved my situation. They impress with their light weight, excellent build quality, and very high capacity. Leistung.Selbst When I use all my electronic devices in the camper van, I have great difficulty draining the lithium battery. entladen.Sie It charges very quickly with solar energy and discharges very slowly, even when I use my laptop, camera, heater, refrigerator, lights and fans for many hours a day. benutze.Ich I can recommend the Power Queen batteries, which offer good value for money.

On the truck bed is a custom-built camper, constructed partly of fiberglass and partly of aluminum. It's equipped with a mini-fridge, an induction cooktop, LED lights, a composting toilet, a shower, a single bed above the cabin, a 32-inch monitor, Starlink internet, and a sound system. There are also two diesel heaters, one for the cabin and one for the camper. We still need a water heater and possibly some side-mounted solar panels for the winter to take advantage of the morning sun. I've connected two 200 Ah Powerqueen batteries in parallel, so I should have a total of 400 Ah. I have 1200 W of solar panels. Each panel has its own Victron 100/30 solar charge controller and circuit breaker. They're all connected to a busbar. From the busbar, the negative terminal goes to a Victron BT shunt and then to the battery. The positive terminal goes to the battery disconnect switch and then to a 150-amp fuse. (The fuse keeps blowing, though.) I also have a Giandel 3,000-watt inverter. With it, I can run an 1,800-watt induction cooktop on medium power. However, if I turn it to the highest setting, the fuse blows. Yes, it's a 12-volt system. I hope that gives you all the important information. habe.Power Queen, real user.

The smaller battery is the perfect size to transport in my small fishing boats or on a sled when ice fishing in winter. The best part is that I can easily get 12 hours or more of fishing time out of this single battery. Changing batteries mid-fishing is no problem.tig.Der The larger battery is equipped with a Bluetooth connection, so I can conveniently check the power consumption via my mobile phone. When I use the trolling motor, the weather conditions have a significant impact. For example, my last fishing trip with my friend lasted 13 hours, and the Power Queen battery still had 69% charge. However, there was practically no wind on the lake at that time. In any case, I'm very happy with the battery. ✅Once I fished alone for about 12 hours; it was quite windy. That was a good test for the battery, because after the trip there was still over 30% charge left. So I know that I can rely on it even in less than ideal conditions.
