At Edge Vanworks, located in the Livermore, California, we are passionate about enhancing the performance and reliability of your RV, especially when it comes to electrical power and battery upgrades. We specialize in upgrading and optimizing the house batteries of popular Hymer and Roadtrek Class B RVs, ensuring that your vehicle remains as functional and dependable as it was when it left the factory, while providing the extra power you need for those extended adventures. These RVs have great electrical systems if they are optimized, and the founder of Edge Vanworks found the perfect way to do just that. All while maintaining the option to disconnect your house batteries from the RV electrical system, which is one way we have been totally unique in this offering. Campfires are beautiful, van fires are not.
Edge Vanworks can put 600 ah of lithium batteries in the same footprint as the KS2 systems offered stock, all while maintaining the intended safety and communication of the original system, or even improving later models to allow the owner visibility to more information with our display offerings.
Upgrading the house batteries in your Class B RV can make a world of difference, allowing you to stay off the grid longer, power your appliances more efficiently, and improve your overall experience on the road. Here’s how we optimize these RVs while maintaining the original functionality intended by the manufacturers.
Should I Upgrade Your Hymer or Roadtrek Class B RV Batteries?
Class B RVs, like those from Hymer and Roadtrek, are built for adventure and flexibility. However, the standard house batteries that come with these models sometimes lack the capacity and reliability to meet the power demands of modern RV equipment and long-term travel. If only one battery has failed, it is probably most cost effective to replace with a new KS2 battery, BUT there are scenarios you may want to upgrade. If both batteries have failed Edge recommends replacing the stock batteries with two 300ah batteries that come with self heating capabilities, battery monitoring, AND an industry leading 10 year warranty, for almost the same cost. The UHG that often came with these vans makes the upgraded lithium system an absolute powerhouse without losing any space.
Benefits of Upgrading the House Battery System:
- Increased Battery Capacity: Upgraded batteries allow for more power storage, meaning you can enjoy longer trips without the need for frequent recharging.
- Improved Charging Efficiency: Newer battery technology often comes with faster charging times and greater efficiency, which reduces downtime when you’re off the grid.
- Enhanced Durability: A high-quality upgrade can provide you with a longer lifespan, saving you money on replacements and maintenance.
- Sustainable Energy Use: With modern lithium-ion or AGM batteries, you can harness more renewable energy from solar systems, making your RV trips more eco-friendly.
How Edge Vanworks Optimizes Your Hymer and Roadtrek Batteries
At Edge Vanworks, we focus on retaining the functionality and performance of your Hymer or Roadtrek RV while delivering the benefits of an upgraded battery system. Here’s how we do it:
- Custom Battery Installations: We install custom solutions that fit seamlessly into your RV. Whether it’s lithium-ion batteries, or AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) batteries we make sure your new system integrates with the original wiring and charging system without disrupting the manufacturer’s intended functionality. We can often improve these systems on early models that allow you to easily see what your electric system is doing.
- Smart Battery Management Systems (BMS): To ensure the longevity and safe operation of your upgraded batteries, we install state-of-the-art Battery Management Systems (BMS). These systems monitor and regulate battery health, ensuring optimal charging cycles and preventing overcharging or deep discharging, which can damage the batteries over time.
- Solar Power Compatibility: For RVers who enjoy camping off the grid, we enhance the solar power system integration, so you can harness the sun’s energy more effectively. Upgrading the battery bank provides more storage for solar energy, reducing your reliance on shore power or generators.
- Maintaining Manufacturer Functionality: We understand the importance of keeping your Hymer or Roadtrek RV’s functionality as the manufacturer intended. Our battery upgrades are designed to work within the existing systems, meaning your original equipment, such as the inverter, power converter, and the vehicle’s electrical systems, remain fully functional after the upgrade.
