Why Split Charge chooses Fogstar Drift batteries for every installation.

When you've spent years designing electrical systems for some of the UK's most demanding campervan, motorhome and specialist vehicle conversions, choosing the right battery becomes about far more than specifications on a datasheet.

Professional installers don't build their reputation on promises. They build it on reliability, consistency and the confidence that every component will perform exactly as expected, wherever the journey leads.

That's why Split Charge has chosen to install Fogstar Drift batteries exclusively across its vehicle conversions.

From factory-finished motorhome upgrades and luxury bespoke builds to expedition-ready 4x4 vehicles and specialist commercial conversions, every installation is designed around the same philosophy: deliver an electrical system that customers can rely on for years to come.

Experience Builds Trust

No two Split Charge customers are the same.

Some are looking for a simple lithium upgrade to improve weekends away, while others expect to live comfortably off-grid for extended periods, powering everything from air conditioning and induction cooking to remote working equipment and entertainment systems.

Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, every installation begins with understanding how the customer intends to use their vehicle. Battery capacity, solar generation, charging systems and inverter specification are all carefully selected to create an electrical system tailored to the individual build.

That approach demands components that installers trust without hesitation.

"We choose to use Fogstar batteries because the quality is incredible at a great price point. The support from the team is second to none, and the app connectivity adds another level of confidence for the end user." 

No Two Builds Are the Same

Every vehicle presents a different challenge, but the philosophy behind every Split Charge installation remains exactly the same: design the right electrical system for the customer and build it around products that have proven themselves in the real world.

Whether it's a discreet upgrade to a brand-new motorhome, a fully bespoke off-grid touring vehicle or a purpose-built expedition truck, every installation begins with understanding how the vehicle will be used and what the customer expects from it. That tailored approach is one of the reasons Split Charge has become one of the UK's leading names in off-grid electrical installations.

Factory-Finish Installation

One recent project involved a brand-new Adria motorhome, where Split Charge discreetly installed two Fogstar Drift 172Ah DIN batteries beneath the passenger seat.

Working alongside a premium Victron Energy electrical system, including a MultiPlus-II 3000 inverter, Cerbo GX with Touch 50 display, Orion XS DC-DC charger and 500W of roof-mounted solar, the result is a clean, factory-quality installation that delivers dependable off-grid performance while preserving valuable interior space.

It's the perfect example of how thoughtful system design can dramatically increase capability without compromising the vehicle's original finish.

Bespoke Without Compromise

At the opposite end of the spectrum sits an Intineo IC740 motorhome, showcasing just how capable a bespoke electrical system can become.

To maximise energy storage, Split Charge engineered a custom battery enclosure beneath the vehicle's chassis, housing two Fogstar Drift Gen2 628Ah batteries. Supported by more than 1.3kW of solar generation, three MPPT solar controllers and a carefully designed charging system, the installation comfortably powers air conditioning, self-levelling systems, GPS equipment, a 4.5-metre motorised awning, lighting, a fully equipped kitchen and the complete living space.

Built for extended off-grid touring, it's a system designed to deliver all the comforts of home, wherever the journey leads.

Built for Adventure

Split Charge's expertise extends well beyond campervans and motorhomes.

Their work also includes specialist 4x4 and expedition vehicles, where dependable power is essential for travelling further and staying off-grid for longer.

A recent Toyota Hilux build demonstrated how the same design philosophy can be applied to a completely different type of vehicle. Built to support remote overland travel, the electrical system provides reliable off-grid power in a compact, robust package, proving that no matter the application, the fundamentals remain the same: thoughtful engineering, premium components and dependable battery technology.

The vehicle may be different, but the objective never changes, design the right electrical system for the customer and build it to perform wherever the adventure takes them.

More Than Just Batteries

A successful off-grid electrical system is about far more than battery capacity.

Every installation is an ecosystem, where batteries, inverters, solar charging, DC-DC chargers and monitoring equipment all need to work together seamlessly. Split Charge combines Fogstar Drift batteries with premium Victron Energy components to create complete electrical systems that are efficient, intuitive and built for long-term reliability.

Just as importantly, every customer leaves with a system that's simple to monitor and easy to understand. Bluetooth connectivity through the Fogstar app gives owners real-time insight into battery performance, providing confidence whether they're parked on a campsite, working remotely or exploring well beyond the beaten track.

For Split Charge, choosing Fogstar isn't simply about specifying another battery. It's about giving customers complete confidence in the heart of their electrical system.

Trusted by the Experts

Professional installers don't choose products based on specifications alone.

They choose products that have earned their trust through years of dependable performance, seamless integration and consistent support.

For Split Charge, that trust has been built with Fogstar.

From factory-finish motorhome upgrades and bespoke off-grid conversions to specialist 4x4 expedition vehicles, every installation reflects the same commitment to quality, reliability and thoughtful engineering.

When the experts choose Fogstar, it's because experience has shown them they can depend on it.
