IEC 62619:2022 is a global safety standard that ensures lithium batteries are safe to use. It focuses on preventing problems like overheating and overcharging or discharging, which left unchecked can have potentially hazardous and even disastrous results. It is essential when using batteries in small spaces like caravans and RVs, the careful selection of batteries will ensure safety and performance are maintained.
Batteries that meet this spec have been tested to ensure they’ll work safely even in tough conditions, so you can trust them during your travels.

What is AS/NZS 3001.2:2022?

AS/NZS 3001.2:2022 is the safety standard for installing batteries and electrical systems in caravans and RVs. It outlines how batteries should be connected and maintained to keep everything running smoothly and safely on the road.

Following this standard ensures your battery system is properly installed and doesn’t pose any risks while travelling.

Why Do These Standards Matter for Caravans and RVs?

When you’re on the road, safety is a top priority. These standards help make sure that:

1. Batteries are Safe: The IEC 62619 standard makes sure lithium batteries are built to prevent dangerous problems like overheating or electrical failures.
