Lion Energy Battery Review – Safari UT1300 Lithium Battery

The Lion Energy Safari UT1300 battery is a great reliable battery option for an RV, Boat or Van. The majority of readers are probably here trying to decide between Lion Energy, Battleborn and all the other Lithium Battery manufacturers. This Lion Energy Battery review will go over the good, the bad and why I personally chose lion batteries over other brands. Would I recommend them to you?

Now having lived on the road full-time for 6 months with 4 Lion Energy batteries, I felt I was able to give an honest review. Maddie and I traveled over 10,000 miles around the United States, while working full-time. I will go over the Lion batteries, why I chose Lion Energy, and how they have performed.

Lion Energy Safari UT 1300 Battery Review –

After owning 4 Lion Energy Safari UT1300 batteries for over 6 months, I have decided to give my honest review. I originally owned a Geo Pro trailer, which I swapped in 2 Lion Energy batteries in for the AGM ones. The UT1300 Lithium Batteries fit perfectly in the battery tray on the tongue of the trailer. This was one of the main reasons the lead me to go with Lion Energy over other brands. I wanted any easy replacement with similar sized batteries. They also lasted twice as long as my AGM batteries.

With the two Lion Energy batteries and   400w of solar  on our Geo Pro Camper we were able to boon-dock in southern Ohio for 8 days. We had sun 7 out of the 8 days with 1 day being a rainstorm, and never ran out of power! If you only plan on camping a few times per year, two Lithium batteries will do the job. The last thing you want to do is run the batteries to 0% and lose power at night by only having 1 lion battery.

We never had an issue with our Lion Energy batteries in our Geo Pro camper. With our small 1,000w inverter we could make coffee, use the toaster, blender and more! With a usable 210ah the batteries were a game changer over the factory ones. Our upgrade to Lion batteries was a huge improvement. Our original batteries would die at night and we ran out of power twice in the cold. We have never run out of power with our Lion batteries and use them even more!

Why I chose Lion Energy UT1300 Batteries for my Geo Pro Camper – 

• Size (They are a group 24 battery, which is the same as a normal AGM battery) – Our Geo Pro travel trailer originally came with two, 80ah AGM batteries from Interstate. They were HORRIBLE, and wouldn’t even last me 1 night in my trailer without dying.  Lion Energy UT1300 are the same size as my previous batteries and fit perfectly into my outside battery box. Battle Born batteries and other brands have larger batteries (the physical dimensions) than Lion and would not have fit in my battery tray.
• Price (The cheapest Lithium Batteries on the Market)  – The majority of 100-105ah Lithium Batteries are around $1000, with Lion Energy coming in at $850 with my 15% discount code (7k) . Lion Energy batteries are the cheapest when they go on sale at Costco. The Safari UT1300 batteries are $699 at Costco when buying two together. The only catch is that you have to buy 2 batteries for a total of $1400. Battle Born and other brands would cost anywhere from $1800-$2000 for the same batteries.
• BMS (Battery Management System) – Almost all Lithium batteries have a built in BMS, but there are some that don’t. Lithium batteries have one HUGE negative, and that is that they cant charge below freezing. Lion Energy’s built in BMS stops the battery from overcharging and keeps it within charging and temperature specs. Lion Energy’s BMS is not better than Battle Born or other brands, but just a cheaper battery.d
• 150A Continuous Output –  This might not seem like a big deal but it does come in handy! For example, a 3,000w Victron inverter is compatible with two Lion Energy batteries because of the 150A output. Battle-born would need 3 batteries to be compatible because they only have 100A continuous output. This doesn’t matter much for people with large rigs who plan to run 10 batteries, but it is worth noting for van lifers with minimal space.
• Power Button –  The Lion Energy Battery is the only Lithium battery I have seen that comes with a power button. I can quickly hit the power button to see what % of charge the batteries are at. This is crucial for someone who works full-time on the road and relies on power for work. I cant run the risk of losing power, and need to know if I have to conserve power.

Lion Energy Battery Review – Honest Review after 6 months Fulltime

We lived out of our Geo Pro camper for around a 45 days before purchasing a Class A motorhome. The Geo Pro was to small for us, but we NEVER had an issues with our batteries at all. We boondocked multiple times in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois and South Dakota without ever running out of power.

Our Geo Pro only had a 1,000w inverter so we couldn’t run the microwave, fridge or AC off of it. We charged laptops, cameras, watched TV, used our coffee pot, toaster and used our electric water heater in that trailer. Our Lion Energy Batteries never had an issue, and held up great the whole time. When we purchased our 2004 Class A, we decided to bring our batteries from that trailer to our new one, because we loved them so much. We have since purchased 2 more Lion Batteries for a total of 420ah.

Our 2004 Motorhome now has 420ah of lithium batteries, 1000w of solar and a 3,000w inverter. We use ALOT more power in our Class A than we ever did in our Geo Pro. I would recommend a minimum of 400ah if you plan on being full-time in a large motorhome. Our 3,000w Victron inverter requires a-lot more power to run than our little 1,000w inverter in our old trailer.

In our Class A we run our microwave, 2 coffee pots (iced and hot), toaster, blender, crock pot, Nintendo switch, TV and plenty of other things. We could never run all these together at once, but we have run both coffee pots and the TV at the same time without any issue. The Lion Energy batteries have held up to everything we have put them through and still to this day have never had an issue with the batteries.

My 4 Lion Energy batteries are wired in Parallel and we had our entire solar system installed by Cameron from Off The Grid Camper . If you are planning to go full-time, and want a serious solar system and battery bank give Cameron a call!

I have had 1 issue with my Lion Energy batteries. I have had my batteries shutoff when three were are 60% and one was at 40%. I spoke to Lion Energy about it, because they died at 40-60% and was giving me a low voltage warning. I have had it happen a few times now and Lion said they believe I need to reset my batteries. The batteries don’t “talk” perfectly with my Victron battery monitor and often gives off wrong percentage of charge. My victron will show the batteries at 90% capacity, yet I check on the batteries themselves and they are all at 60%. I can never trust my victron is accurate with charge percentage, yet it is accurate with voltage! I am still in the works of testing the batteries more to see if this issue continues and if reseting the battery worked. Lion Energy’s customer service has been great, and even offered to swap all 4 batteries at NO cost.

Weight of Lion Energy Battery vs Others – Lion Energy Battery Review

• The Lion Energy UT1300 is the lightest Lithium battery in its class at only 23 pounds . (105AH)
• Battle Born batteries weigh in at 31 pounds which is 35% heavier than Lion Energy. (105AH)
• Dakota Lithium batteries are 32 pounds and are only 100ah.
• Renogy 100ah batteries are 26 pounds , rated for 2,000 cycles compare to Lions 3,000-5,000.

Weight is probably not the most important factory for the majority of people looking to purchase Lithium Batteries. The majority of owners will have this in a large RV, Boat or inside a van. Lion Energy not only is the lightest battery, but it also is the smallest, which means you can fit more batteries into small spaces. For example, I would be able to fit 8 Lion Energy Ut1300 batteries in my small battery compartment on my class A, where I would only be able to fit 6 battle born batteries.

Are Lithium Batteries worth the Cost? Safari UT1300

It depends… and it should! It truly depends how you plan on using your batteries and how often! If you are planning on going full-time lithium batteries are 100% worth their initial upfront cost. You don’t have to worry about ruining the batteries or topping them off with water. There is NO maintenance with Lithium batteries which is a huge relief as RV’s already have plenty of other things to worry about.

If you only plan on camping/boondocking a few weeks during the year the cost of Lithium probably does not make sense. You could instead upgrade to 4AGM batteries for a fraction of the cost and still be able to live comfortably.

Lion Energy Battery vs Battleborn and other brands –

So, would I recommend them after my Lion Energy Battery Review and owning them for 6 months? No, I would recommend you go with Battle-born batteries if you have the room and the extra budget. My biggest fault with the Lion batteries is that they don’t “communicate” properly with my victron battery monitor. The victron monitor always gives me the correct voltage but never the proper percentage. Battle-born batteries work great with victron products and give accurate measures of both voltage and percentage.

The final reason that I would go with Battle-born over Lion Energy is because of the them being a trusted brand in the industry. The majority of full-time RVers are using Battle-born batteries and for good reason. Cameron, who installed my entire solar setup, even stated that Battle-born is his recommendation for clients.

The reason I went with Lion Energy, is because of my old Geo Pro trailer and how they fit into my battery tray and were cheaper. Looking back I would have just bought Battle-born batteries for their trusted reliability.

In Depth Testing of Our New Lithium Batteries (Lion Energy Safari UT 12V)

This post may contain affiliate links, meaning I get a commisson if you decide to make a purchase through my links. There is no addtional cost to you. See Affiliate Disclosure

In the following two videos I put my new Lion Energy Safari UT 12V 90Ah lithium batteries through multiple real-world RVing test situations. For more information about the Safari UT check out my previous blog posts and videos – Upgrading Lead Acid RV Batteries to Lithium and Lion Energy Safari UT Lithium Battery Q & A .

The first video covers testing the overall battery capacity in (Ah) amp-hours. I measure the number of total amps-hours recorded at different discharge amperages from 100% full down to an exhausted battery. For the tests, I use my own RVs off-grid power systems, meters,  tools, and appliances.

In the second video, I test the recharge time of the Safari UT using my InteliPower PD9260 converter charging at around 50 amps. Then, using both my 500-watt solar array and the charge converter at approximately 75 amps. I also test my old Interstate golf cart batteries to provide a direct comparison of charge and discharge rates and time.

*Fair Disclosure* I received 3 Safari UT batteries free of charge from Lion Energy in exchange for my review. I’ve become an affiliate earning a commission on sales. However, I’m not sponsored by Lion Energy and receive no direct monetary compensation for the videos and blog posts. Opinions are my own.

Battery Tests (Part 1) – Amp Hour Capacity

In part one of my Lion Energy Safari UT lithium battery tests/demos, I test its overall amp-hour capacity at four different discharge current rates.

Low Power Test

First I do an extended slow discharge to 3 Safari UT batteries wired in parallel producing a 12V 270Ah rated bank. Average discharge rate was in the 1-3 amp range. This test simulates an RVer with low power requirements, only running lights and the occasional light load like the water pump plus covering the usually parasitic RV loads.

Medium Power Test

The second test is done using a single Safari UT 12V 90Ah battery drawn down at an 8-10 amp rate. It would cover a typical RVer using things like computers, chargers, fans, stereos, LCD TV, etc.

High Power Test

The third test is for a single Safari UT battery drawn down at 80 amps and simulates a 1000 watt inverter that is being maxed-out to run a higher wattage appliance.

Maximum Output Test

The final test done at 150 amps is a maximum rated discharge test to one Safari UT 12V 90Ah battery.

Amp Hour Capacity Test Results:

• Low Power 1-3 amps – 89Ah
• Medium Power 8-10 amps – 89.7 Ah
• High Power 80 amps – 87.5 Ah
• Max Output 150 amps – 80.7 Ah

Conclusion:

The Lion Energy Safari LiFEPO4 battery capacity came in close to its rated 90Ah capacity on the first three power tests, but at the max 150 amp rate, it dropped down to 80.7Ah. Still not bad considering the substantial current output. Many similar 12V lithium batteries can’t do more than a 100 amps max rate.

For more battery rating info check out this Lion Energy blog post – Making Sense of Battery Ratings

Battery Tests (Part 2) – Charging & FLA Comparision

In part two, I test the recharge time of the Safari UT using my InteliPower PD9260 converter charger outputting around 50 amps charge current. Then using both my 500-watt solar system and the converter charger at approximately 75 amps.

These tests simulate me recharging one battery on first shore or generator power. Then, I add in my solar system to simulate a fast charge during a sunny day when out boondocking.

I also test my old Interstate golf cart batteries to provide a direct comparison of charge and discharge rates and time. Two 6V 232AH lead acid versus just one 12V 90Ah Lion Energy Safari UT battery. The lead-acid pair is a few years old, but the results were still quite dramatic.

• Safari UT 50 amp charge test – 1 hour 39 mins
• Safari UT 75 amp charge test – 1 hour 15 mins
• 2 Interstate 6V lead-acid @ max charge rate – over 3 hours to 98% recharged
• 2 Interstate 6V lead-acid 80 amp discharge capacity – 28.6 amp hours
• 2 Interstate 6V lead-acid average capacity test – 62 amp hours

The Safari UT lithium batteries recharged extremely fast! I wasn’t even able to test the max rate of 100 amps. They will be terrific for off-grid camping. Unlike my old lead-acid type, the new lithiums don’t slowly decrease in charging amperage as they get closer to full capacity.  They charge in a linear fashion soaking up the total available current right to 100% charged. They also don’t suffer the Peukert Effect which greatly reduces a lead-acid batteries capacity under high current loads.

Stay tuned for my Lion Energy Safari UT full review coming in a few weeks time after some longer-term use.

Product Description

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q1 - What is the Safari UT1300?

A1 - The Safari UT 1300 is the latest in Lithium battery technology. It replaces traditional deep-cycle lead-acid batteries with the safest Lithium Iron Phosphate. It is a drop-in or "plug and play" battery because you can remove the deep cycle lead-acid battery from your RV or boat and replace it with this superior performing battery. It is used for auxiliary power and home energy storage too. It is not designed for cold cranking or as a startup battery for vehicles.

Q2 - What does the Safari UT1300 power?

A2 - The Safari UT 1300 is an amazing Lithium Iron Phosphate battery that can be used for auxiliary power in RV's trailers, motorhomes, boats, cabins, sheds, gazebos, dump trailers, and where you need a reliable source of stored energy. It replaces lead-acid batteries and provides twice the energy because all of its energy (amp hours) can be used instead of only ~50% like lead-acid batteries provide. For example, use it in an RV to power slide-outs, lights, microwave, TV, AC, etc and get 2X the camping time on a single charge than a lead-acid battery. Want to use it to power a trolling motor? No problem, and you'll get not only a longer use time, but it also weighs less than half a lead acid battery and that's a big deal in a boat. How about using it to store energy at a cabin so you can power lights, TV, and more? Yes, you can use it for that too. It can use 100% of the Ah stored in it and can be recharge over 3,500 times and still have 80% of its capacity left. (Note: The Safari UT 1300 is not a battery to use for starting vehicles.)

Q3 - How long can the UT 1300 hold a charge?

A3 - It will maintain its charge for up to 2 years without having to charge it. This is known as shelf life or storage life. However, we recommend using it more frequently, in the house, outside, on adventures, and for emergencies.

Q4 - Can it store solar power?

A4 - The Safari UT 1300 is a great energy storage unit for solar power from panels on homes, cabins, businesses, and RV's. It can harness the power of the sun. You'll need a charge controller between the solar panel and the Safari UT 1300 to regulate the energy flow from the panel(s) to the UT.

Q5 - Do I have to maintain it?

A5 - The Safari UT 1300 is virtually maintenance free, meaning you don't have to use it or even trickle charge it every 3-4 months, deal with messy acid or water since it doesn't have any, or remove it from your vehicle and store it for the next season. It can hold its charge for up to 2 years and can be recharged and used over and over again for years and years.

Q6 - What's the rated capacity?

A6 - The Safari UT 1300 is commonly referred to as a 12V, 105Ah (how much energy is stored in it), 1344Wh. Technically, it is called Nominal Voltage at 12.8V and 105Ah. It can output 900A peak, then approximately 250A for one minute and 150A continuously.

Q7 - Can it be put in series or parallel?

A7 -Yes. You can increase the voltage in a Safari UT 1300 system by connecting them together from 12V up to 48V total (series). For example, 4 batteries connected together via + to - posts will make the four 12V become a 48V system. You can also increase the Amp Hours (Ah) from 105Ah up to 420Ah (parallel) by connecting them together via + to + and - to -.

Q8 - What is a BMS?

A9 - The Safari UT 1300 has a smart internal Battery Management System (BMS) that acts as a safety net to shut down the battery if it is out of the parameters. This prevents the battery from over charging or discharging as well as operating outside of the temperature range.

Q10- Can I use my standard charger?

A10 - Yes! You could use a standard battery charger to charge the Safari UT 1300 and it will charge the battery. However, since most chargers are designed for a lead acid battery, they charge up to a certain voltage. A lead acid battery "full" is about 13.8V. The Safari UT 1300 can accept a charge up to 14.6V. Most charger will get the batteries to 13.8V. That will put the Safari UT 1300 at about 80-85% full. For best performance, we recommend a lithium charger.

Q11 - Can I charge the Safari UT 1300 from an alternator?

A11 - Yes. To prevent possible damage to your alternator, we recommend using the Redarc (Model #BCDC1225D), which is a DC-DC charger. It will safely charge your batteries while you are driving.
