Falcon FN-LB-100 LiFePo4 Lithium leisure batteries are 50% lighter and smaller than GEL or Lead batteries. They also have a lifespan of up to 500% longer. These are becoming more popular as more and more people are relying on their leisure batteries to run appliances in their motorhomes, caravans etc. The other benefits of a lithium battery are faster charging, safe fast discharging making them ideal for use with inverters and are completely safe – no toxic fumes, corrosive liquids or fire risk.
- Long cycle life: 10 times that of a Lead acid battery’s cycle life.
- More usable capacity: up to 100% usable energy
- Fast charging: 10 times faster than Lead acid battery
- Low self-discharge: <2% per month
- Built-in BMS ensuring battery safety and efficient operation
The Falcon LiFePO4 battery provides 4000 – 6000 cycles & a 10-15 years lifetime compared to 200 – 500 cycles & a 3 years lifetime in typical Lead Acid chemistry. 100A continuous discharge current, and a wide range of operation temperature.
Unlike Lead Acid batteries, lithium ion batteries have exceptional longevity and are more cost effective. Plus, Li-Ion batteries are safer than Lead Acid batteries, which have no protection against ground faults.

Had fitted 2019 and had 2 lead acid batteries removed and used the space gained to have an inverter fitted. Worked really well and kept our electrics costs down when camping and allows us to explore more with out hook up.
