Every Road Leads to Home
Two people and their dog on the road to find adventure, simplicity, and home.
A year ago Ransom and Casey from Every Road Leads to Home decided to leave their 9 to 5 lifestyle behind and live full-time in their VW Westfalia van. While fun and exciting, living on the road has a unique set of challenges. The one that can be the most limiting when you're off the grid is power. Many times a day they'd have to monitor their battery usage and worry whether they'd be able to use essential electronics and appliances.
After a year of daily use their lead-acid battery system had deteriorated significantly. This left them with a decision: replace it with another lead-acid battery, or look at alternative technologies to provide the reliable power they needed?
Realizing their lead-acid system would be an ongoing struggle, they decided to install the battery they should have put in from the beginning: a lithium iron phosphate battery. Why did they choose lithium over a less expensive lead-acid battery? Check out their blog post to find out.
