Offgrid check: 170 Ah in the VW Grand California
How long can you manage without shore power? We have calculated a realistic scenario for wild camping in autumn (approx. 5–10 °C) without laptop use.
1. Your daily energy requirements (example)
| Device / Consumer | Daily usage | Consumption (approx.) |
| Diesel heater (blower) | 12 hours | 300 Wh |
| Compressor refrigerator | 24 hours | 400 Wh |
| Light & water pump | Evening/Morning | 150 Wh |
| Charging mobile phones & tablets | 3 devices | 120 Wh |
| Coffee machine (inverter) | 4 cups | 150 Wh |
| TOTAL CONSUMPTION | approx. 1,120 Wh |
2. Direct comparison: When does it end?
| Battery system | Usable energy | duration of self-sufficiency | Conclusion |
| Genuine VW AGM (92 Ah) | ~ 550 Wh | approximately 12 hours | Critical after a night with the heating on. |
| CALIFAKTUR 170 Ah | ~ 2,067 Wh | approximately 2 days | Perfect for a self-sufficient weekend. |
| CALIFAKTUR 340 Ah | ~ 4,134 Wh | approximately 4 days | Maximum freedom for long periods of standing. |
3. The "booster effect": Gaining energy instead of just consuming it
You can significantly extend your self-sufficiency through solar power or driving:
| source | Performance / Duration | Yield (approx.) | Effect on a 170 Ah system |
| Solar (e.g. 150 Wp) | 1 sunny day (autumn) | + 500 Wh | Extends self-sufficiency to 4–5 days . |
| Charging booster (driving) | 1 hour drive | + 650 Wh | Covers over 50% of the daily requirement . |
| Solar (summer) | Full sun | + 1,100 Wh | Theoretically infinitely self-sufficient. |
Our expert tip: The 170 Ah battery is the perfect choice for anyone who likes to stay undisturbed in one place for 2-3 days before moving on to their next destination. Thanks to the Victron Orion XS charging booster, the battery is already half full again after a short trip!

Intelligent cell compression, high-end engineering and long-lasting power
Safety & Performance
The SaftkistePRO – developed and manufactured in Germany – utilizes a professional compression cell module, produced precisely according to the cell manufacturers' specifications. Thanks to defined caging and high-quality Poron® interlayers, compression forces remain optimally distributed – resulting in significantly longer cycle life and controlled cell behavior during breathing and swelling. Simultaneously, reliably triggering safety valves ensure maximum operational safety.
The SaftkistePRO achieves a service life of up to 20 years and offers stable capacity and fast charging performance even after many cycles. By replacing the standard 75 Ah AGM battery,
The usable capacity is quadrupled, with 30% less weight.
An intelligent DualBMS®, IP-protected components, cell heating down to -30 °C, and a robust IP67 housing make the CALIFAKTUR lithium offgrid package a reliable energy source – far superior to cheaper alternatives. Quality, safety, and sophisticated engineering ensure long-term satisfaction.
