Accident on A7: camper and car collide

On the A7 motorway in the Netherlands, a camper and a passenger car collided late Thursday afternoon. Both vehicles were traveling south when the driver of the camper, for unknown reasons, rear-ended the car. The impact pushed the car forward into the guardrail. Both vehicles sustained damage. An ambulance attended the scene to check those involved; no one required hospital transport. The accident caused traffic disruption on the A7, with part of the roadway temporarily closed. Earlier on Thursday, a serious accident occurred on the A7 near Wognum, where a van left the road and overturned, leading to the full closure of the A7 toward Den Oever.

Bulltron 750Ah battery fits under campervan seat

Bulltron has introduced a 750Ah (9 kWh) lithium battery that, thanks to new cell technology, still fits under a campervan seat. The Polar version includes a built-in heating element to warm the battery before charging at sub-zero temperatures, plus Wi-Fi and Bluetooth modules for remote monitoring and shutdown. It weighs 57 kg, has a maximum discharge of 500 A, charge rate of 250 A, 7,000 cycles, and R10 certification. The price is slightly over 4,000 euros, with a 5-year warranty that is voided by deep discharge.
