To meet the increasing demand of RV owners seeking to be more independent of external energy supply while outdoors, thermal management expert Eberspaecher is developing the new Xellstor product family.
As per a press release, whether it’s an air conditioning unit, an induction cooktop, or an e-bike, Xellstor energy management system campers will gain from greater energy storage capacities for self-sufficient power supply in the future.
Comprising Power Units and the Smart Hub control system, Eberspaecher Xellstor will replace camping vehicles’ conventional energy supply in the future, an ideal system for more convenience and self-sufficiency while traveling.
The powerful Xellstor lithium-ion batteries (Power Units) have significantly higher storage and performance capacity and a longer lifespan than conventional gel or AGM batteries.
These Power Units may be recharged by shore power, generator, or – for maximum independence – solar panels.
Based on individual needs or applications, the modular Xellstor system is comprised of one to four Power Units.
Depending on the available space, the modules can be mounted anywhere in the camping vehicle. Xellstor is thus suitable to serve as both an initial assembly and for retrofitting.
