Truck Camper Magazine conducted a Fuel Generator vs. Lithium System survey in which 778 truck campers responded.
The Magazine notes, “This past July we conducted the 2024 Big Battery Poll and discovered a strong preference for lithium batteries (57.9 percent) versus AGM (8.0 percent), and lead acid (2.4 percent). We also learned that truck campers want big battery banks: 400 Ah (26.3 percent), 600 Ah (13. percent), and even 1,000 Ah or more (14.7 percent).
“All of this left us wondering—what about fuel generators versus the more advanced solar-lithium-inverter systems? If truck campers want big lithium battery systems and inverters, are fuel generators still relevant?
“The short answer is yes. Even with the advances in solar-lithium-inverter systems, there are applications and environments where a fuel generator is superior. For example, a fuel generator can reliably run an air conditioner all day, day after day after day, as long as you keep adding fuel. Solar-lithium-inverter systems are not there yet. Furthermore, solar-lithium-inverter systems do not operate well in extreme cold, or the overcast, short-day winter weather in which that extreme cold occurs,” according to Truck Camper Magazine.
