24v caravan lithium upgrades
24v lithium, the best of both worlds
24V, The Best of both worlds, Here at Ace Off-Grid we pride ourselves on being Perth's leading experts in Lithium Technologies, for our Clients that want to be truly off-grid and self sufficient we recommend upgrading to a 24V lithium battery system,
it may seem complicated at first glance but your entire existing 12v system is simply run through a Victron 24v-12v reducer, no changes to existing system necessary other than the battery management and inverter system being 24V. The biggest benefit to 24V is its over all efficiency which comes down to current, for example: a domestic ibis 4 A/C run through a 12V inverter draws roughly 80AMPS, this means that to be Off Grid Capable we need our solar system to compensate for 80amps discharge, this means throughout the day the systems constantly discharging at 80amps as well as recharging at 80amps, and for large currents we need large cable, continuous heavy load causes the cable, inverter and chargers to gradually lose efficiency due to heat dissipation, @40 degrees 90% efficiency, @60 degrees 75% efficiency.
a 24v volt system of the other hand cuts the current in half, only using 40amps to run the A/C meaning the solar only needs to put in 40amps to compensate, the entire system runs a whole lot cooler and generally keeps at 90% efficiency throughout, a 300AH 24v lithium is equivalent to 600ah @12V meaning smaller more cost efficient batteries, currents are halved meaning smaller chargers, smaller cabling, we've found that due to efficiency loss a 300ah 24v system will out perform a 600ah 12v system. if you're serious about your Off-Grid Capabilities give one of our experts a call, we'd be happy to advise you

24V OFF-GRID MACHINE
we’ve been waiting for this one
One of the biggest and best thus far
Mindaugas brought his family van in last week for a massive 12-24 volt full Off-Grid conversion & it couldn’t have gone better
The Tijusas family left it up to us to design and position this massive Off-Grid system & that’s when we really shine
Nothing but the best & as if it were our own
360AH of 24v lithium power
1.2kw of solar energy
40amp dc2dc & 50amp MPPT
That’s a massive 90amps charge driving in the sun, which is equivalent to 180amps charge @12v
A 3000va full off grid inverter charger system with automatic transfer running the entire van off-grid
A built in 70amp 240v charger allowing for a charge rate of 120amps on the grid in the sun
Equivalent to an eye watering 240amps @12v
We’ve got a 70amp reducer running all the existing 12v appliances with 98% conversion efficiency
And for monitoring we’ve got a 7 inch tablet allowing for full monitoring and control of
The inverter charger system
Battery percentage, time to go & history
Solar yield, 30 day solar history & performance
We’ve had her running over the weekend and this has got to be one of our best yet
The Tijusas family are going to have no issues keeping that van cool all summer and warm all winter
We’re quite confident is supplying this system with our 5 year workmanship guarantee
Thanks again to the Tijusas family for trusting us with their caravan, we can’t wait to hear how she performs Off The Grid

DAVE’S 24V OFF-GRID EXPLOREX
We had the pleasure of upgrading Dave’s Explorex Caravan this week,
With 99% battery capacity after running the A/C in low light conditions for 3 hours, we’re ready for handover.
We fit out this Karijini back in 2016 during manufacturing & she hasn’t missed a beat but was well overdue for an Off-Grid upgrade & because we love working with existing Explorex clients we threw in something special
We’ve replaced and updated the face panel with a touch screen monitor & touch switch panel to bring this Karrijini up to speed
We’ve removed and overhauled the 12v battery management system and converted this van into a 24v Off-Grid powerhouse
We’ve converted the battery system to a 24v lithium system for absolute efficiency off the grid
We were able to compfortably fit 1.2kw of shingles solar panels for optimum charging even low light conditions
We’ve got a 50amp Victron solar controller
3000va 70a Victron inverter charger powering the entire 240v system offgrid
& a 30amp 12v-24v Enerdrive DC-DC charger
That’s 50a Solar charge (equivalent to 100a @12v)
80a charge driving in the sun (140a @ 12v)
& a whopping 120a on grid in the sun (240a @ 12v)
And if that’s not enough we’ve got the capability of running 800w of portable solar
For the monitoring system we’ve got a victron Bluetooth battery monitor and a custom 7 inch tablet to monitor the batteries, solar and operate the inverter system all at the touch of a button
The majority of this system comes with a 5 year warranty
& for the rest we’ve got our signature Ace 5 year workmanship guarantee
“Your Caravan, Our Commitment”
Thanks Again to Dave and the Upton family for trusting us with their Caravan, wishing you safe travels & we look forward to hearing about your off-grid adventures
24V LIFEP04 LOTUS
This system has exceeded all expectation, it runs the aircon all day and night without breaking a sweat
Nothing but the best with all the fruit
We’ve got
3 x 120ah Lithium (LifeP04) batteries (equivalent to 720ah @ 12v )
A 3000 Watt inverter with 70a Lithium charger (equivalent to 140a @ 12v)
1.2kw of shingles solar cells
Victron 100/50 Solar MPPT charger (100a @ 12v)
Enerdrive 30a dc2dc with MPPT (60a @ 12v)
That’s a whopping 80a charge driving in the sun, equivalent to 140a @ 12v
A 70a reducer running all your existing 12v
And the brains behind all this braun
A 7 inch touchscreen monitor with Cerbo gx which allows for
Battery percentage, temperature, solar yield, 240v consumption, inverter switching, water tank monitoring, the list goes on
And better yet, the system can be monitored and operated from anywhere in the world
Pair this with a 5 year warranty and our 5 year workmanship guarantee and you’re set for years to come
