PowerPaul Australia in New Zealand
LiFePO4 batteries for caravans, motorhomes, 4WD canopies, boats and off-grid builds, from slimline 12V packs through to 48V. Tell us about your setup and we'll recommend the right battery and quote it in NZD.
A lithium battery is the heart of your power system, and the right one depends on what you run, how you charge and where it has to fit. So rather than a buy button, we quote each one properly.
We look at your loads, inverter, solar and how long you stay off-grid, so you don't pay for capacity you won't use, or run short when you need it.
Lithium needs the right charge profile. We check your DC-DC, solar regulator and mains charger before you buy, so there are no surprises.
PowerPaul batteries are imported from Australia, and the exchange rate moves. Quoting on the day means you get a fair, current price every time.
All current models run the JK BMS with active balancing and Bluetooth. Pick your system voltage, tap a photo to see every angle and the dimensions drawing, then hit Enquire and we'll come back with a recommendation and a quote.
12.8V 175Ah
Weekenders, campers and canopies that need real capacity in a standard-size box.

25.6V 163Ah
Space-saving power for 24V systems.
25.6V 345Ah
Trucks, buses, marine and medium off-grid systems.
51.2V 163Ah
Solar, home battery and large off-grid systems running 48V.
Energy figures are approximate (capacity × nominal voltage). Specifications and photos are PowerPaul's and may change; we'll confirm current specs with your quote. Trays, vent kits, bus bars, fuses and terminals are also available. Just ask.
Recommended maximum continuous discharge is C/2 on most models (about half the Ah rating in amps). Terminals are M8.
LiFePO4 needs a lithium charge profile. Older chargers and solar regulators set for AGM or flooded batteries may need changing.
Don't charge through a VSR or straight off the alternator. Use a lithium-capable DC-DC charger to protect the battery and your vehicle.
It will still power your van on a frosty morning, down to −20°C, but it won't take a charge below freezing. Mount it inside the living space where you can.
Kevin will come back to you with a recommendation and an NZD price, usually within one business day. The more you tell us, the better the advice.

PowerPaul was started in Melbourne in late 2020 by electronics specialist Paul Freeman, to fill a gap he saw for reliable lithium RV batteries. The Scout was the first battery and is still the flagship.
Today PowerPaul designs its batteries and BMS settings in-house. The current range is built by a partner factory, then every battery is calibrated, load-tested and fully cycled in Melbourne before it ships. In New Zealand, PowerPaul is distributed and supported by TowPro Group.
TowPro Group is the New Zealand distributor for PowerPaul. We build trailers in our Waerenga workshop and travel NZ in our own caravan, so we know what an off-grid power system has to cope with.
Send us your loads and charging and we'll work out the capacity you actually need. Ask us →
We'll confirm your DC-DC, solar regulator, charger and inverter will work with lithium before you buy.

Two reasons. The right battery depends on your system, so we'd rather recommend one than have you guess. And because PowerPaul is imported from Australia, quoting on the day gives you a current NZD price instead of one that's out of date.
As a rough guide: Cub or Nifty for weekend trips and smaller setups, Scout or Nifty+ for a properly off-grid caravan or motorhome, and MonoLith for big inverter loads or long stays. 24V and 48V models suit trucks, buses, boats and home or shed systems. Send us your setup and we'll recommend one.
Not directly, and not through a VSR. Use a lithium-capable DC-DC charger. Mains chargers and solar regulators also need a LiFePO4 charge profile.
It discharges down to −20°C, so it will keep powering your van on cold nights. It charges between 0°C and 60°C, so below freezing it won't accept a charge until it warms up. Mounting it inside the living space helps.
Yes, up to four identical batteries of the same voltage in parallel. They can't be connected in series. A new battery should match the BMS type of the ones you already have.
Usually. The Cub mounts on any side or end, the Nifty any way except terminal end down, and the Scout and Cabin on their side or on the non-terminal end. We'll confirm for your model.
The current JK BMS range carries a 10-year warranty against manufacturing defects or failure. Claims in New Zealand are handled through TowPro.
Tell us how you travel, and we'll match you with the right PowerPaul battery.
