Sustainable Batteries

Energy efficient, environmentally sound and rugged , simple operation with Solar Panels or Generators

Overall, we have designed the system to:

Rugged maintenance free deep cycle batteries
use components that consume the minimum energy possible
charge quickly while traveling with a vehicle
charge overnight when at a powered site
charge easily from a solar panel
charge simply from a generator

1. Rugged maintenance free deep cycle batteries

The core to the system is the batteries used. We use Absorbed Glass Matt (AGM) 12V Batteries as standard in our Camperss. The capacity starts at 70Ah and by increasing the number of batteries can be increased to 210Ah.

These batteries are rugged and environmentally safe. They are maintenance free and can be stored for lengthy periods without damage.

We install them in a dual configuration so that in the unlikely event there is a failure, you can continue to operate on a lower capacity.

AGM batteries effectively double usable capacity because they can be safely discharged to a lower level. This means that you get the following capacity from Kimberley Kamper AGM batteries compared to conventional lead acid batteries.

NOTE: Discharging AGM Batteries below 50% will shorten cycle life

Capacity Size Model (though capacity upgrade is available to all models)	70Ah SportsRV, Kamper,, Limited Edition	140Ah Upgrade Option	210Ah Platinum or Upgrade Option
Kimberley Kampers AGM Effective daily use capacity (50% TO 90%)	30Ah	55Ah	85Ah
Conventional Lead Acid Deep Cycle Battery Effective daily use capacity (65% TO 85%)	15Ah	30Ah	45Ah

KIMBERLEY KAMPERS AGM BATTERIES

	Absolutely maintenance free > no acid level check > no topping up with water > saving on maintenance costs, no maintenance errors
	Electrolyte tight > no acid leaks, no acid protection measures necessary > no corrosion damage, no need for expensive acid proof support areas > no need for battery protection boxes
	Independent of position > absolutely sealed regardless of position > no acid damage even in the event of accidents > capable of operation even in extreme off-road positions
	Long life and cycling resistant > 3mm thick plates used that provide many times higher number of cycles > many times higher number of discharging operations > economic thanks to considerably longer service life > ideal as a SOLAR battery
	Very low self discharge > ready to operate without re-charging even after lengthy storage times > time &cost saving as intermediate charging and battery care is unnecessary > ideal for Campers use as batteries can remain in place between trips
	Resistant to vibrations. shocks and impacts > sturdy casing, > lower costs thanks to longer service life
	Extremely low gassing and sealed > every cell sealed with a safety valve > gases are recombined to water in every cell > excess pressure from overcharging can escape > no escape of acid vapours, no risk of explosion > no need for expensive ventilation measures, no odours > Fully operative in emergencies, even under water
	Proof against deep discharges > batteries can sustain deep discharges without damage > deeply discharged batteries can be recharged within 28 days > cost saving thanks to less frequent battery failure
	Temperature Resistant wide operating temperature range from -30oC to 70o > no special storage needs > dependable power for Camperss in all weather extremes
	Clean and evironmentally friendly > no pollution f rom acid or aggressive acid vapours > not classified as hazardous goods for transportation > can be 99% recycled, harmless to the environment > easy transportation and transportation cost saving
