    Great episode guys🙌🏻 we have used itech batteries in our first caravan and did some roads and can’t fault them.
    When we built the canopy on the 79 I didn’t hesitate to get them and run 2 120 for the power in the canopy 🙌🏻
    Thanks guys 🙌🏻

    I replaced 3 100amp hour agms with I one itech 120x in my trailer. Saved me in excess of 60kg and has given me more usable power. A budget product that works. Good review.

      Yeah, 100Ah agm is equal to 50Ah lithium so 120Ah lithium is more than double capacity of the 100Ah agm

    Hi Guys,
    Love the VIDS.
    To the haters- up yours you uniformed gits.
    I've had a Shorai lithium battery in my sports bike for 5 years, located right behind the engine, under the seat and it gets hot, very hot. it gets rough ride on tar roads. It has never let me down, and wouldn't hesitate putting another one in. I have lithium in my boat and will change the BT50 to lithium start batteries when the originals fail.
    It's people like Sarah and Keelan who actually use these and test them, show the pros and cons and review them that allow manufacturers to update their product info. A lot of manufacturers cant replicate what we Aussies do, so they go in soft. If it fails they say I told you so, if it passes with flying colours, then they are very happy.
    Keep up the harsh testing guys and reviews- muchly appreciated.
    Ian

Haters are gonna hate no matter what you do. When I went to the camping show here in SA had the usual brand snob tell me how bad they were, stories of them exploding etc, you are living proof that they are as good as batteries twice the price.

    Watching your post I relived the trip we did in 2016, right down to taking pics from exactly the same place. Admittedly there's a 50 years age difference between us with the experience that comes with it, however I'm extremely proud of you've and what you've achieved. I can remember shutting my eyes each night thinking "so far so good, but what about tomorrow". Re the haters. They are a fact of life in every work of life and none of them have ever "done it" and they hate anyone who has. I'm reliving my life vicariously through you and your living my dream.👍🍺

      It was a trip I'd wanted to do since I was old enough to read a map. Not only was it the adventure of my life but I did it with the love of my life. It was way out of her comfort zone and she relied on me every moment of every day for six months and the confidence it gave her in herself has changed our lives. We traveled solo and hunted and fished and lived off the land in places only God knew about, and only people like you two would understand. I envy your youth, your courage and strength of character and ability. You guys look so good on the HUGE screen in our outdoor theatre and we can almost smell the dust and feel the bumps.

    These batteries are good, and I’m running one in the caravan, but I’m running x2 (stock setup) calcium cranking batteries under the bonnet of our old 100 series (4.2L turbo diesel) and they are 8 years old now, and just starting to get a little bit slower to crank the old cruiser when it’s been sitting a few days.
    And the haters are small people with puissant little lives. You’re out there doing what they envy what they want to be doing!!

    Been following your posts for awhile now and somehow missed this one.
    I’ve done the Gibb and Mitchell falls in our camper trailer and know what you are on about, no worries there. A four months trip and a half lap from Melbourne.
    We have just bought our 13’ hybrid van and will give the agm’s the flick as we didn’t get a choice, long story short.
    I’ve been doing research into lithiums and narrowed it down to 3 makes. ITech being one, but a couple of 120ah pro’s.
    You both seem happy with them and have given them a no BS test and opinion, now I’m pulling my hair out as the choice is ever harder🤣
    Love your posts and you both are living the dream of many, me included.
    I couldn’t believe though at the start of this video you referred to people knocking and bagging you for what you did. Ignore these peanuts, these arm chair expert’s probably wouldn’t know a steering wheel from a spare wheel.
    Sit back and grin, you proved them wrong. Good on ya.
    Thanks though for the battery info, I’ve taken that on board👍👍👍

    I’m currently building a 200 at the moment too, but we tow a 5m boat and live in cape York.
    I’ve been tempted to put a lithium under the bonnet this time. But my hilux has had 2 lead acids under the bonnet and the house battery in the back. Tried and tested and works.
    If we lived down south I would try it, but with the constant hot weather I can’t see it being a good option without building a cooling system to manage the temperature of the battery at all times.

    Good job guy’s, nice recaps here an there, dont let the hecklers, trolls, idiots get u down ur doing a great job and I applaud you for doing this stress test for me, because I haven’t been too sure if I could use lifepo4 under bonnet or not due to heat, & I know ur new 200 series gets pretty hot under the bonnet and the fan throws it toward the driver side battery, so I would consider some heat shielding &/or venting there if u can.
    I like to have a set of Maxwell Capacitors with jumper leads attached handy for quick jumps starts of anything up to a Steiger Tractor and they are also a handy buffer for ur batteries & inverter on heavier loads, I was entertaining putting them under my 200 series bonnet as a starter battery because when I tried them on it with no batteries hooked up, it started faster than any heavy duty battery has started it before, but have recently purchased a 25Amp hybrid lithium battery/capacitor all-in-one that takes up the space of about a 50-75Amp size lead acid battery footprint, but only weighs a few kgs, they are an Australian brand, FKR I think, check em out on YT if ur interested, they are sold as a heavy duty cranking battery, it limits ur cranking battery capacity to 25A (Lithium) though but can deliver up to almost 10,000 Amps spontaneaously for a nice quick start, and could possibly do so at 8-10v, I reckon one would be a nice toy to leave attached to ur battery/inverter setup to take up surges a bit, & as a spare Goto if u do need to have or give someone a quick start/boost. I know every inch is precious for u guy’s, but just something worth consideration, a nice light battery pack than can start a Dozer or use as a portable for outside fridge & lights on a panel it could keep a small camp going indefinately with a little solar charging daily. Cheers

    Based on logic, I decided to install an eBay lithium auxiliary, (purely on $), under bonnet of my 80 series over a year ago. It has not seen the abuse yours did, but I recently went from Tassie to Cape York, (only the PDR not the Tele), about a month before your trip, and I also have had no issues. I am now convinced that these are solid technologies. I will be upgrading to an iTechWorld before my next trip - just for added insurance. Thanks for your candid reviews.

    I have had the same battery in the back of my Hilux in a kickass battery box (with a lithium charging profile). For almost 3 years now. I've done some serious tracks and touring Australia. I have never had a problem that wasn't self created (left the fridge empty on full tilt in the middle of summer). Admittedly mine is not under bonnet but I like you copped a bunch of crap from some "experts" about simply buying that brand let alone lithium.

    5 minutes on small corrugations and I've had a gutsful.
    One think I would take away from something you said is to always have a manual backup or fallback in case things go wrong.
    Manual access to water and perhaps some freeze dried meals etc for if you do get stuck or something dumps it's load for whatever reason.
