Large 12V Lithium Batteries for My Van

My purchase and Amazon option

My van purchases included Redodo 12V 410Ah batteries and a LOSSIGY 12V 400Ah battery. This page brings those large house-battery purchases together.

The featured Amazon option is Redodo 12V 410Ah Lithium Battery.

Where it fits my build

My Day 87 plan put the body openings ahead of the aluminum framing, flooring and wall panels. I specifically included the shower drain and the openings for three water tanks in that order of work.

I removed cargo tie-down hardware to leave mounting points for the extrusion framing, and removed door trim for the later insulation and paneling. SketchUp helped me plan how those separate jobs would fit together.

My build notes

The useful part of this diary entry is the sequence. I wanted to finish the drilling while the interior metal was bare, so later work would not mean opening finished surfaces again.

The photographs show my preceding floor-preparation session. Sweeping, washing and removing residue created the starting point for the interior work I described next.

I planned the openings and mounting access before enclosing the interior.

Alternative products

Two alternatives to compare

The featured Redodo is a 410Ah battery; the LiTime alternatives have 460Ah and 230Ah capacities. Capacity, enclosure dimensions and terminal layout distinguish these options for planning a battery compartment.

LiTime 12V 460Ah Lithium Battery

LiTime 12V 460Ah Lithium Battery

This LiTime battery provides a 460Ah lithium iron phosphate storage option. The large Group 8D housing makes it an alternative for a dedicated battery compartment.

LiTime 12V 230Ah Plus Battery

LiTime 12V 230Ah Plus Battery

This LiTime model combines a 12V lithium iron phosphate battery with an internal battery management system. Its 230Ah capacity offers a smaller storage increment than the larger packs on this page.
