* PbEq (Ah Lead-Acid Equivalent) represents usable amp-hours compared to a lead-acid battery system of similar size.
Note: A CSL (Circuit Safety Link) is required when using inverters 3,500 W or higher.
While lead-acid batteries are ideal for vehicle ignition, lithium-ion batteries are the top choice for RVers needing versatile energy storage. Lithium-ion batteries efficiently power a wide range of amenities—from keeping food fresh to supporting work on the road—making them an indispensable part of modern RV travel.
Lead-acid batteries have the advantage of being well-established and reliable. They are generally less expensive upfront, making them an attractive option for budget-conscious consumers. Additionally, they are widely available, ensuring that you can easily find a replacement while on the road.
However, lead-acid batteries tend to be heavier and bulkier, which can be a concern in an RV where space is limited. They also require more frequent maintenance, such as topping off with distilled water, and have a lower energy density compared to lithium-ion batteries.
Lithium-ion batteries are lighter and more compact, allowing you to make better use of the limited space in an RV. They also have a higher energy density, enabling them to store more power without increasing their size. Plus, they generally require little to no maintenance.
The main drawback of lithium-ion batteries is their higher upfront cost. However, this can often be offset by their longer lifespan and greater energy efficiency, especially for RVers who spend a lot of time on the road.

Max Charge Current: 100 A
Continuous Discharge: 250 A
Peak Discharge: 500 A for 30 seconds
Yes. You can connect up to 4 batteries in series (48 V systems) or in parallel for higher capacity. For heated versions, daisy-chain the heat-enable wires or use the supplied switch to control all heaters simultaneously.
Yes. The built-in Smart BMS monitors voltage, temperature, and current while protecting against over-voltage, under-voltage, short circuits, and high/low temperature. It also controls the heating system.
No, the BBGC3H does not include Bluetooth. For smart monitoring, consider the BBGC3IH Smart version, or pair this battery with a Victron BMV-712 Smart battery monitor.
