AL-KO VTE Expands Its Catalog with VARTA Lithium Batteries

AL-KO Vehicle Technology Electronics is pleased to announce the expansion of its catalog with a major new addition: VARTA-branded lithium batteries are now officially available. This is a strategic step that completes and strengthens the Energy Line range dedicated to motorhomes, vans, and caravans, adding a new generation of high-performance batteries alongside the existing AGM models.

“We are excited to introduce VARTA lithium batteries into our range,” says 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 conscious choice for those seeking high performance, fast charging, reduced weight, and longer lifespan. It means traveling 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 service continuity. This strategic partnership stems from a deep alignment of values and goals: to provide campers with tailored energy autonomy solutions that are increasingly safe, lightweight, and high-performing.

The main features common to the LI-ION range include:

• Up to 20 times more cycles than traditional batteries
• Up to 45% lighter than equivalent AGM batteries
• 100% usable capacity
• Fast charging and high output currents
• Integrated BMS for safe cell management
• Bluetooth with VARTA app for remote monitoring
• IP67 protection rating (resistant to water and dust)

“We have internally tested and validated our systems,” adds Chies, “and we can confirm that the BC122 chargers, 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 inclusion of VARTA lithium batteries in the AL-KO VTE catalog is a concrete response to the growing demand for efficient and reliable energy from end users and is part of a continuous technological evolution aimed at simplifying the user experience and increasing autonomy and freedom of movement.
