Best 100Ah Lithium Battery for a Caravan in Australia

What to look for in a 100Ah LiFePO4 battery for free camping, and the features that are actually worth paying for.

Why 100Ah lithium is the sweet spot

A 100Ah LiFePO4 battery gives you close to 100Ah of usable power, about double what you can safely take from a 100Ah AGM. That's enough to run a compressor fridge, LED lights, a water pump and phone charging for a night or two without the engine running.

It also weighs around 10 to 12kg, less than half a typical 100Ah AGM, which matters when you're watching your caravan's payload.

What to look for

  • Built-in BMS rated for your loads. Check the continuous discharge rating (100A is common) covers your inverter and fridge together.
  • Low-temperature charge protection or self-heating if you camp in alpine areas or frosty inland mornings.
  • Bluetooth monitoring so you can check charge level and cell health from your phone.
  • Dimensions and terminal type. Measure your battery box or mounting spot before you buy.
  • Australian warranty and support, ideally from a seller with a local address.

How long will 100Ah last?

A typical 12V compressor fridge averages 1 to 2A over a day, so roughly 24 to 48Ah per day. Add lights and charging and most couples use 40 to 70Ah a day. Pair a 100Ah battery with 200W or more of solar and you can stay put for days in good sun.
