Mestic launches lightweight LiFePo4 mover batteries for caravans
Original source: Campingtrend

Mestic has introduced new lithium iron phosphate (LiFePo4) batteries for caravan movers. The 4.5 kg (20Ah) and 5.6 kg (30Ah) models are significantly lighter than traditional lead-acid AGM batteries, which weigh 25–27 kg. With a usable capacity of 90–100%, the 20 or 30 Ah versions provide sufficient power for the mover. The batteries feature a self-discharge rate of only 2% per month, a built-in charger, and can be monitored via the Mestic app over Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

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.
