Equipped with LiFePO₄ technology, integrated BMS, Bluetooth monitoring and IP67 protection rating, they offer reduced weight, faster charging times and a long operational lifespan. The LT (Low Temperature) versions include a preheating system that allows charging even at low temperatures, down to -20°.
AL-KO Vehicle Technology Electronics is pleased to announce a significant addition to its catalogue: lithium batteries under the VARTA brand are now officially available. This is a strategic step that completes and strengthens the offering within the Energy Line range dedicated to motorhomes, vans and caravans, adding a new generation of high-performance batteries alongside the AGM batteries already featured in the catalogue.
They are available in the LL100, LL100LT, LL150, LL150LT and LL200 models.

We are delighted to introduce VARTA lithium batteries into our range – states Alessandro Chies, Head of Sales at AL-KO Vehicle Technology Electronics S.r.l. –
Lithium is no longer just a technology of the future: today it represents a mature and informed choice for those seeking high performance, fast charging, reduced weight and superior lifespan. It means travelling lighter, with greater autonomy and fewer concerns about energy management. With VARTA, we can offer our customers an efficient, safe solution that integrates perfectly with our electronic systems.»
VARTA, a historic brand owned by Clarios, and AL-KO VTE, both part of the same corporate family, share an industrial vision based on innovation, technological excellence and continuity of service. This strategic partnership stems from a deep alignment of values and objectives: to provide motorhome enthusiasts with tailored energy autonomy solutions that are increasingly safe, lightweight and high-performing.
The main features common to the LI-ION range are:
- Cycles up to 20 times higher than traditional batteries
- Weight reduced by up to 45% compared to equivalent AGM batteries, with 100% usable capacity
- Fast charging and high output currents, with integrated BMS for safe cell management
- Bluetooth with VARTA app for remote monitoring
- IP67 protection rating (resistant to water and dust)

We have tested and internally validated our systems – adds
Chies –
and we can confirm that the BC122 chargers, the NE series DC/DC converters and all AL-KO VTE devices are fully compatible with VARTA LI-ION batteries. This ensures immediate integration and optimal performance even in aftermarket installations.»
The addition of VARTA lithium batteries to the AL-KO VTE catalogue represents a concrete response to end users’ growing demand for efficient and reliable energy, and forms part of an ongoing path of technological evolution aimed at simplifying the user experience and increasing autonomy and freedom of movement.
