Recommendations for Lithium Battery to power Enerdrive 2000Watt Invert

Why not buy 2 x 120 Itech and run in parallel. Will do the job no worries.

Hi Kris,

We have 360 amp hours of lithium batteries in our van, an 1800 watt PSW inverter and a small Nespresso coffee machine.

When the coffee machine and the milk frother are running together, the inverter is pulling 160 amps from the batteries.

I don't think many AGM deep cycle house batteries would be happy with such a discharge, but am happy to take advice on that. There may well be some that can handle it but I don't know them.

Lithium is a better option, but expensive. But lithium is increasingly the general trend these days.

Some lithium batteries with a reasonably high capacity have a max discharge current limitation much less than 1 C, so be careful if you go that way. Do your research.

I bought my batteries from Ev-Power in WA. Their batteries are made from large cells that can handle the high discharge rates you need.

Thanks Frank, will look at EV Power!

Kris,

Check out Lithium Battery Wholesalers on Facebook, good batteries with decent discharge ratings, good prices & good service.
I’ve got 2 of their 100Ah batteries, been in use over 12 months.



They do a few package deals too, but as you already have an inverter, these may not suit?

When buying any batteries including Lithium when running coffee machines or microwaves, pay attention to the max discharge current. Most of the AGM replacement style have low discharge currents and not suitable for what those appliances.

Kris K,

I have all Enerdrive on board my caravan, AC/DC, DC2DC chargers, 2000 watt inverter and 200 amp hour lithium Btec battery, with 400 watts fixed solar.

Enerdrive advised me to go with the 200 amp hour with the inverter. I was going to go with 2 x 100 a/hr batteries. They told me than in the event of one x 100a/hr faltering under a big load, both may fail.

I believe their advice and support, above some other so-called “experts”. Give them a call or they are on Facebook on their page responding very quickly.

The limitations of discharge rate of Li batteries being talked about here are typically limitations of the battery management system employed, not of the battery itself.
Batteries and BMS's can be purchased seperately to get what you need for special applications.

Have a look at the Power Paul Scout 280 Ah lithium …. 250 amp discharge rate I have one and it runs a toaster …induction hot plate small air fryer no problems hand made battery in Melbourne with top grade components….very good to deal with and competitive price stands by his product
