DELTEC Batteries, an Australian-based automotive and leisure battery manufacturer, has launched a new line of lithium batteries - introducing, ELiVATE Lithium Batteries.
At first glance, the ELiVATE Lithium Battery range looks pretty solid. But how does it compare against other lithium batteries on the market? We've been distributors of DELTEC's legacy AGM battery ranges for many years, so we already feel confident in DELTEC's brand that the ELiVATE range is going to be a strong contender against the lithium mainstays.

But let's take a look at what the ELiVATE Lithium range actually offers:
Overview
DELTEC has gone out of its way to make the ELiVATE range as competitive in the lithium space as possible and has packed as many features as possible while keeping the range at an excellent price point for the quality you receive.
ELiVATE Lithium Batteries are composed of deep cycle LiFePO4 cylindrical cells and heavy-duty ABS casing. This is typical of a lithium-ion battery, but DELTEC tests their lithium technology against strict quality control standards at every stage of the manufacturing process to ensure every battery leaving the warehouse is A+.
The ELiVATE range is right up there in terms of quality with the Enerdrive and Invicta batteries of the world - comprehensive certification, carefully sourced lithium, and an extensive manufacturer support system mean you're getting more than just bang for your buck - these are high-quality lithium batteries that can reliably power your systems, including high-end setups in large long-haul applications.
The ELiVATE Lithium Battery range is suitable for most applications, including:
- Caravans
- Marine and boats
- 4WD and leisure vehicles
- Solar
- Backup power
- Electric vehicles
Handy Features
The ELiVATE Lithium Battery range comes fully equipped with:
- Extensive number of charge/discharge cycles
- Rapid charging
- Thermal-resistant technology, meaning it's capable of handling harsh weather conditions
- High energy density
- Internal Battery Management System (BMS) to protect the lifespan of the cells
- Bluetooth connectivity
- Low self-discharge rate
Bluetooth App
DELTEC released a dedicated ELiVATE Bluetooth App which has everything you need to monitor the state and health of your lithium batteries. We are big fans of any battery with Bluetooth connectivity, simply because it makes life easier and saves you time, as you don't need to install a Bluetooth Shunt (if you want to monitor your battery, that is).
Having Bluetooth in-built in the battery means that you just need to connect your phone and boom, you have all the data you need in the palm of your hand without needing additional bits and pieces. The DELTEC ELiVATE app has everything you need to monitor your battery's critical information, including:
- Charge time and discharge time remaining
- Capacity/state of charge
- Temperature
- Total voltage
- Number of cycles
DELTEC's Bluetooth app is particularly good as the design is simple, looks nice, and has all the information you need in easy-to-read graphics. In our opinion, it's one of the best Bluetooth apps on the market.

DELTEC ELiVATE Versus Enerdrive, Invicta, & Other Lithium Brands
Why pick DELTEC over other lithium batteries on the market? We would choose the ELiVATE range for three reasons:
- DELTEC is a local Aussie company with years and years of experience in the automotive and leisure battery space. We've also been around long enough to know what we're looking for in a high-quality battery and a brand that knows what they're talking about. They have offices and support networks across Australia, so if you need a hand with your battery, you can be sure you'll get the assistance you need, no matter where you are.
- The DELTEC ELiVATE Bluetooth app is super nice to look at and is really easy to use. Monitoring your battery setup becomes intuitive rather than confusing, which is obviously a huge benefit. Other batteries such as Enerdrive and Invicta also offer Bluetooth connectivity and apps, but the DELTEC app is the perfect blend of simplicity and good design.
- DELTEC ELiVATE batteries are really well priced for their quality. The price point is very similar to what you'd find in an Invicta or Enerdrive lithium battery and it performs just as well, but you get the added perks of an Aussie-backed company, Aussie-based support, and a well-designed Bluetooth app. The price you pay for the DELTEC ELiVATE range is true for what you receive in return - high-quality cells, performance-first design, and extensive warranties.
