Reliable power solutions for your RV amenities can be the deciding factor between having a relaxing time on the road or having a nightmarish vacation. Has Grech RV truly eliminated these worries with their UL Listed lithium-ion battery system?

Grech RV — Their History In The Industry

If at any point in the last 40 years, you were in the market for a luxury coach, you absolutely could not go wrong by putting your faith in Grech Motors.

Exploring The Grech RV Strada-ion

Grech RV’s Strada line of vehicles currently consists of two models — the namesake “Strada” and its successor the “Strada-ion”.

Both of these models are built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter base (specifically the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500XD), which features a six-cylinder diesel engine and an extended high-roof chassis.

As the name would suggest, the Strada-ion is the model from Grech RV that has been making waves in the RV industry for having the lithium-ion battery system that is being hailed as “the most advanced energy storage system available in the camper van world”.

What Is So Special About The Battery System In The Strada-ion?

The Strada-ion’s lithium-ion battery system is capable of providing up to 1,260AH (Amp Hours) or 16,128WH (Watt Hours). A more practical illustration of the capacity is that it is capable of powering the Strada-ion’s AC for up to 12 hours on a single charge.

Our Lithium-ion battery system in our motorhomes replaces the Cummins Onan propane generator and provides clean and quiet lithium-ion based energy that will power your entire motorhome. This is the most advanced energy storage system available in the camper van world. –Grech RV

The system also enables two very convenient and reliable methods of recharging, so you will never find yourself not having power for the Strada-ion’s onboard utilities.

The first method of recharging a lithium-ion battery system in the Strada-ion is through the included 300 Watt Zamp Solar system. The second recharging solution makes use of an onboard 280 AMP high output auxiliary alternator and Wakespeed regulator to generate charge from the Strada-ion’s diesel engine.

Currently, the Lithionics batteries that are used in the Strada-ion are the only UL Listed and UL Tested lithium-ion batteries on the camper/RV market.
