Amped For Adventure with Lithionics Batteries

Amped For Adventure with Lithionics Batteries
Why Winnebago owners love having lithium-powered RVs.

By: Noel Fleming & Chris Miller

Our Tampa EKKO Rally location was full of sounds … rooster crows, donkey brays, the sizzle of hotdogs, the thunk of cornhole bags. And then there were the calls to purchase tickets: “Get your raffle tickets! Be the lucky winner! Lithionics has donated a 320-amp hour battery!” The red paper tickets held promises of expanded capabilities and more of what our travelers already love. The buzz was thick and electric. The chatter was on. 

Why Are RVers So Excited to Have Lithionics Batteries?

Each ticket sale and ensuing conversation gave testament to the way Lithionics enables us to effortlessly power our travel. From RVers taking their maiden voyage to those who were about to hit 95,000 miles on their rig, their experiences mirror (or should I say EKKO) each other in resounding voice. Lithionics provides energy that is a breeze to manage, has easily accessible data via an app, and is supported by personnel who respond to inquiries with knowledge and care.

Additional benefits of Lithionics batteries:

• Superior in reliability, safety, energy density, and durability.
• Versatile battery management system that provides world-class integrations into Winnebago products and the Winnebago Power System.
• Free lifetime firmware updates.
• NeverDie® Technology to prevent the battery getting to the completely dead stage.
• UL Listed Heater Kit provides four-seasons use.
• True USA factory for superior support and services.
• Mobile app to provide instant diagnostics for customers and dealers. (Watch a video on how to use the Lithionics App!)

Important Note on Safety: Lithionics is one of very few lithium batteries that have the UL1973 safety certification, and it is the only brand that has the certification directly from Underwriters Laboratories (UL). Winnebago uses GTX and GTO models which are in Lithionics’ Super-Density Power product line that provides the highest energy density using safe LFP chemistry. If you are considering purchasing an RV with lithium power, or planning to upgrade your current batteries, safety should be top of mind. 

Winnebago models that currently have Lithionics batteries:

• Winnebago Revel 44N, 44E 
• Winnebago View/Navion 24T, 24R, 24D 
• Winnebago EKKO 22A, 23B 
• Winnebago Vista NPF

Winnebago owners can also inquire about purchasing a Lithionics battery by calling the Winnebago Parts department at (574) 825-8052 or emailing them at [email protected]. This article shares how easily one couple added a Lithionics battery to a Winnebago towable!

How Winnebago EKKO Owners Use Lithionics to Power Their Adventures

If we had a map that pinpointed satisfied customers, the pinheads would dot all of North America and beyond. This Tampa rally alone boasted attendees representing 21 states and Canada. Oh, to have a visual to showcase the expanse of the group’s travels and the scope of their adventures! By charting our journeys, we could glimpse the extent of freedom offered by reliable energy.

Rally attendees shared accounts of summer camping in the heat of Virginia, boondocking in the crannies of Big Bend, adventuring across Alaska for 60 days without the need to plug in. There were ski getaways, paragliding sessions, and work projects with Habitat for Humanity. The list seemed endless. Every conversation that highlighted Lithionics began and ended with confidence in the construction of the product, the reliability of its components, and the commitment to customer care.

Of course, a battery is not the centerpiece of anyone’s travel blog; it is the experiences themselves that fulfill us—the night sky campfires, the hikes to grand vistas, the wild animal sightings, the scuba diving adventures, and discoveries of remote locations. Yet beneath all the travel conversations, was the shared realization that such adventures are made possible because of a trustworthy battery.

Travelers are empowered to dream of such escapades and set out on every journey with confidence. Whether working on the road or working on a bucket list, traveling alone or with pets, adhering to a well-planned itinerary or having the freedom to travel serendipitously … it was reliable energy that fueled the travel.

That night, after the activities of the day, the excitement of the Lithionics raffle, and the ongoing battery buzz, we found a quiet spot to rehash the conversation snippets and peruse the day’s photos. Image after image revealed old and new friends—a collage of satisfied RVers with an ever-growing bank of travel memories and a desire for more. 

We were surrounded by 61 rigs, enabled to boondock together for days because of our energy source. Kudos to Lithionics for connecting people to places, connecting people to people, and connecting people to possibilities. You power our individual and collective stories.
