Today, a R&J Batteries legend is retiring. Gary’s journey with us started in 2004 when Island Batteries became a division of R&J Batteries.

After nearly 20 years at R&J Batteries, Gary is finally ready to take a well-deserved break and spend more time with the family. Thank you for your valuable contribution all these years and we wish you all the best for your future endeavours. Happy retirement Gary!

Considering a lithium battery for your recreational vehicle energy storage needs? Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) is the best lithium battery solution as it can deliver thousands of cycles and is able to withstand harsh conditions and temperatures. LiFePO4 is thermally stable, incombustible, non-toxic and does not contain any rare earth metals which makes them an environmentally conscious choice.
