With the continued development of renewable energies in 2025, battery storage for domestic use is expanding at a rapid rate. Two battery technologies continue to vie for dominance in this arena: lead-acid vs. lithium-ion. These battery chemistries are commonly used for different applications. Lead-acid batteries have been around for over a century and are widely … Read more
PV panels and batteries both operate with direct current (DC). It’s, therefore, natural to assume that you can connect solar panels directly to a battery. Sure, this may work for a low-power system (below 100W), but we’re about to show you that more suitable setups exist that utilize an additional component — a solar charge controller. … Read more
The Power Queen Crew recently asked us to review their 12.8V 100Ah LifePO4 Battery. Upon arrival, we conducted charge-discharge cycle tests to determine whether the theoretical 1280Wh energy capacity was correct. After a series of trials, data gathering, and some thinking, we believe the Power Queen 12.8V 100Ah LifePO4 Battery is a budget-friendly lithium-ion battery that … Read more
The BougeRV 200W 9BB Solar Panel proves that solar harvesting technology is continuously evolving. New solar tech integrated into PV architecture aims to serve the climate change initiative through green energy transition while catering to all the green energy consumers with diverse lifestyles. One example is the value some of us find in owning lightweight and … Read more

“What battery charger size is best for my needs?“ If you’re in the market for a new battery charger, you’ll quickly realize there are quite a few options to choose from. And with so many different chargers on the market, it can be hard to know which one is right for you. When choosing a … Read more
When choosing the correct lead-acid battery for your needs, there are only two worth considering — AGM vs. Gel. These two battery types are the most common sealed lead-acid (SLA) batteries. When these technologies include a one-way blow-off valve, they are referred to as valve-regulated lead-acid (VRLA) batteries. AGM and Gel batteries were designed almost … Read more
Did you know that battery storage temperature can significantly impact your battery’s aging rate and overall performance? Although batteries are highly present in our day-to-day lives, most people don’t know how to store them properly. For this reason, a fair amount of batteries end up being placed/stored at the wrong temperatures – either too hot … Read more
If you wish to maximize your marine lithium battery’s performance and prolong its service life, you need to use reliable, high-quality marine lithium battery chargers. Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) is currently the best type of deep cycle battery on the market. It offers many advantages compared to Lead-acid batteries, including higher energy density, longer lifespan, … Read more
Using a deep cycle battery charger is essential to maximize your deep cycle battery’s performance and overall life cycle. Unlike starter batteries, deep cycle batteries are designed to be deeply discharged, providing a low and steady current for an extended period during every use. However, to maintain this ability, it’s essential that you charge your … Read more
