There are many reasons to own Battle Born lithium batteries – even beyond the technical benefits that most people recognize. These benefits are especially important for RV travelers, who are often interested in reliable off-grid power sources and environmental preservation. Battle Born batteries provide a great source of power for RVs and are much more environmentally friendly than their lead-acid counterparts. Additionally, the batteries’ reliability and longevity give owners peace of mind and eliminate battery anxiety. Finally, with a 10-year warranty, Battle Born lithium batteries are a truly reliable investment.
Battle Born Batteries are Designed and Assembled in Nevada
Battle Born Batteries is headquartered in Nevada, a state that is rich in lithium. In Reno, Nevada, they assemble their lithium batteries right here in the United States, meaning that your purchase supports American jobs. In addition, you support the local Nevada economy when you buy Battle Born lithium batteries. That is one of the things we like most about the company. Purchasing a Battle Born lithium battery also means supporting American jobs. Finally, by buying locally, you’re also helping to reduce your carbon footprint, as the batteries don’t have to be shipped internationally.
In a recent news release, Dragonfly Energy, the parent company of the Battle Born Batteries brand, announced they signed a letter of intent with Aqua Metals, another Nevada company, to purchase lithium and metals recycling. Aqua Metals’ offerings include equipment supply, services, and licensing of the AquaRefining™ technology to recyclers across the globe. This partnership will further decrease the carbon footprint of these batteries and increase environmental friendliness.
The other great thing about the company being in the U.S. is that the customer support is right in Reno, Nevada. So you have the opportunity to talk to someone right next to the manufacturing floor when you have questions, have problems, or are trying to put together your system. I have never had a bad experience when calling. In fact, I had a problem early in my ownership that I could not troubleshoot. The customer service team could also not troubleshoot it. They passed me off to one of the executives, who took the time to diagnose and help me correct my problem. That is excellent customer service!
Battle Born Batteries Gives Back to the RV Community
Battle Born lithium batteries are a proud sponsor of many RV shows and events across the country. They also sponsor The RVers television show, local sports teams, and veteran’s organizations. This “giving back to the community” helps to show the importance of Battle Born lithium batteries for RV travelers, as the company is directly invested in helping this community. Additionally, the events they sponsor and attend provide an excellent opportunity for people to learn more about batteries and what they can offer.

Reliability and Longevity
Battle Born lithium batteries are known for their reliability and longevity. Thanks to their high-quality construction, you can be confident that your battery will last for many years. The 10-year warranty is another example of the company’s commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. This peace of mind is something that Battle Born takes seriously, and it’s one of the primary reasons why we chose their lithium batteries over others.
We have had our batteries since early 2018. Aside from moving them from one RV to another, I have not had to do anything. There is no maintenance, no fluids to top off, and no removal in the winter months. My solar panels keep them charged and ready to go at a moment’s notice. This “hands-off” maintenance is very different from the wet lead-acid batteries we used to have. I was not good at battery maintenance, so my lead-acid batteries would only last a couple of years before they died prematurely.
Environmentally Friendly
Another big selling point of the batteries is that they’re more environmentally friendly than lead-acid batteries. This is because lithium iron phosphate batteries don’t contain toxic materials, making them safer for the environment. On the other hand, lead-acid batteries have toxic materials, which can leach into the ground and contaminate water supplies. The lead-acid batteries also require ventilation limiting the places you can put them in the RV. Battle Born Batteries do not require any ventilation so placement can be anywhere convenient for your particular setup.
Not only are lithium batteries more environmentally friendly, but they also last longer than lead-acid batteries. The longer lifespan means you won’t have to replace your lithium battery often, saving you money in the long run.

Less Cost per Amp Hour
Lithium batteries also have a lower cost per amp hour than lead-acid batteries. This is because lithium batteries last longer than lead-acid batteries, so you’ll save money in the long run by not having to replace your batteries nearly as often. For example, an average lead-acid battery will last about 300 charge cycles, whereas a Battle Born battery will last over 3,000 charge cycles. In these times of high inflation, every penny saved on energy can go towards more trips in the RV. While the investment is greater initially, the payoff is in two to three years when your batteries are still good, and your friends’ lead-acid batteries require replacement.
Conclusion
There are many reasons to choose Battle Born lithium batteries over other types of batteries. The company is committed to quality, customer satisfaction, and environmental responsibility. In addition, lithium iron phosphate batteries are more reliable and longer lasting than lead-acid batteries and have a lower cost per amp hour. So, if you’re looking for a battery that will give you peace of mind, save money, and help preserve nature, Battle Born is the way to go.
