Mastervolt, makers of lithium-ion battery systems for the RV and marine markets, has completed testing with the RVIA-approved test lab, Testing Engineers International (TEI), to meet UL 1973 standards.
This new certification goes along with the long-standing ISO 9001 certification that Mastervolt maintains, and together they are “evidence to Mastervolt’s dedication to the highest standards of safety and compliance,” according to the company.
With the growing popularity of lithium batteries, they were added to the 2020 edition of RVIA’s adopted American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Low-Voltage Standard. To be included in RV products, lithium batteries must be listed by a third-party listing agency recognized by the RV Industry Association. The TEI UL1973 compliance confirms that Mastervolt lithium-ion batteries are compliant with all RVIA requirements and with that, the preferred customers’ choice.
“Continuous improvement and safety are the mainstays of our culture,” said Mara White, senior product manager. “Meeting the UL 1973 standard is an important milestone in the global development of our industry leading energy storage systems.”
Mastervolt worked directly with accredited third-party testing group TEI to complete testing and achieve TEI listing to meet the UL 1973 standards. TEI’s certification confirms that Mastervolt’s MLI series of lithium-Ion batteries meet or exceed important safety standards, as well as meeting the needs of end users, the company said.
“Optimizing the end-user experience and ensuring their safety is what drives us,” said White. “As we continue to evolve our integrated power technology, maintaining critical standards is vital. This is why the new certification mark is important and will support our commitment to provide a friction-less end user experience across all markets.”
