“Don't you just love it when a company comes along and completely changes everything? Lithium batteries just became affordable.” - watch off-grid prodigy Ash Pollard (@LostinEurope) review our Fogstar Drift Leisure Batteries in his latest video…

In this article, we'll break down the benefits and drawbacks of each wiring method, so you can make an informed decision for your next camping or boating adventure.

Looking to go off grid with your boat or campervan? Then you'll definitely need the right leisure battery for the ride! But with so many battery options on the market, it's easy to feel overwhelmed and unsure about where to start. Don't worry though, Fogstar Drift has got you covered!

When you start shopping around for a prospective power source, the first thing you will notice is the different options available. It can become quite confusing, rather quickly. However, when you dig a little deeper, you’ll start to realise the benefits of LiFePO4 leisure batteries are vast in comparison to lead-acid batteries.

The Battery Management System, otherwise known as a BMS, is the ‘intelligent’ component responsible for the management and control of your lithium leisure battery. Although very rare with lithium batteries, if anything were to go wrong during the charge/discharge processes, the BMS would quickly identify the fault, and cut off the power to prevent any potential issues.

There are three main factors which impact the performance of a LiFePO4 leisure battery, including temperature, age and the consumption of the battery. Let's take a detailed look at these factors and how we can mitigate some of the risks to give your LiFePO4 leisure batteries an extra long life span...

Have you been considering making the switch from lead acid to a LiFePO4 leisure battery? Have you not yet purchased a leisure battery and need to consider the pros and cons of both? If so, you’re in the right place. We’ve rated both batteries across a myriad of features to help you make an informed decision, so…let the games begin!
