– Bristol Caravans, the First Approved UK Workshop
As a professional installer at Bristol Caravans, I’ve spent years upgrading motorhomes, campervans, and caravans with the latest tech. Power systems are one of the most important upgrades we do—and right now, lithium batteries are hands down the best option out there.
Even better? We’re proud to be the first fully approved Renogy dealer and workshop in the UK. That’s right—if you want expert advice, installation, and aftercare for Renogy lithium batteries, there’s no better place to come than here.
Why Lithium Batteries Make All the Difference
Whether you’re parked up in the Lake District or heading off-grid in the Alps, your energy setup determines how long—and how well—you can stay off the grid.
Here’s why I recommend lithium batteries to almost every customer:
- Longer-lasting: They offer double the runtime compared to traditional lead-acid batteries. Two days of lead-acid power? You’ll get four with lithium.
- Faster recharging: You can fully top up your 12V system in just an hour of driving—ideal for touring.
- Lightweight and compact: Perfect for vans where space and weight matter.
- Smart and safe: With built-in BMS (Battery Management Systems), you get efficiency and protection in one.
If you’re upgrading your motorhome or campervan, lithium batteries are one of the smartest investments you can make.
Renogy: The Brand We Trust—and the Only One with Mandatory Installer Training
At Bristol Caravans, we only work with products we trust—and Renogy is top of that list. Their batteries are not just high-performance; they come with a mandatory training program for installers. That’s something no other lithium battery brand offers.
This ensures your installation is done the right way—safe, efficient, and designed to last. As the first UK-approved Renogy workshop, we’re uniquely qualified to fit and support the full Renogy battery range.
Spotlight on the Sonic State 100V – A Lithium Battery That Breaks the Rules
One of the most exciting developments in the Renogy range is the new Sonic State 100V lithium battery—and let me tell you, this is a game changer.
Here’s why it stands out:
- Mount it any way you want: vertically, sideways, even upside down.
- IP67 waterproof rating: You can install it outside your van—perfect when interior space is tight.
- 90% solid, 10% liquid: This unique composition makes it safer than conventional lithium batteries, which contain far more liquid.
- Cold-weather charging: It can charge at -20°C, ideal for winter campers and ski-trippers.
In short, it’s the most versatile and durable lithium battery we’ve ever worked with.
Renogy’s Regular Lithium Batteries: Smart, Reliable Power for Every Van
Not every customer needs the Sonic State. Renogy’s standard lithium batteries are brilliant too—and we fit a lot of them.
Here’s why they’re a great choice:
- Long cycle life, so you won’t be replacing them any time soon.
- Built-in Smart BMS to manage safety, charging, and performance.
- Excellent performance in a compact design—ideal for motorhomes and campervan upgrades.
And again, because we’re an official Renogy-approved workshop, we’ve been fully trained to fit them properly—something that’s exclusive to Bristol Caravans.
