Victron inverters, chargers and lithium batteries in a van electrical bay

Van lithium electrical systems

Complete 12V and 48V lithium power systems, the same kind the shop builds into its own 2027 models, installed by the Beachside team in Atlantic Beach.

Lithium electrical systems at Beachside

The electrical system decides what a van can run and for how long: the AC, the fridge, the induction cooktop, the Starlink. Beachside designs and builds full lithium Victron systems, with a second alternator and Wakespeed regulator so the batteries charge as you drive.

Beachside Custom Vans is a Victron Energy approved installer, and Victron is the shop's first choice. The shop also installs Bluetti, EcoFlow and Renogy systems when one of those fits your van and budget better. Systems are built in house. Every finished system is photographed and its battery serial numbers are kept on file for warranty, and at pickup the team shows you how to put the van in storage mode.

How an install is booked

Four steps from the first message to pickup.

  1. Ask for an estimate

    Tell the team your van's year, model and length and what you want installed. Photos help.

  2. Approve and order the parts

    If the estimate works for you, a deposit covers the materials and the shop orders the parts. Small jobs are usually booked about a month out.

  3. Install at the shop

    The in-house team that builds the 2027 models does the work at the shop in Atlantic Beach.

  4. Pickup and warranty

    Labor is billed when the job is done. The team walks you through the install, and the work carries a 1-year warranty.

Questions

It depends on your van and the parts you choose. Labor is billed at the $125 per hour shop rate, parts are quoted separately, and Beachside sends an estimate before any work starts.

A 12V system suits most vans. A 48V system makes sense for heavy loads like a large AC or an induction cooktop, because it moves the same power with less current and smaller wire. The team will recommend one based on what you want to run.

Yes. The shop inspects and tests the existing system first and lists anything that needs rework in the estimate.

Installs are done on any make of van, including the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Ford Transit and Ram ProMaster. Full camper van builds are Sprinter only.

No. Beachside supplies the parts for every install, from brands it is an authorized dealer or installer for.

Small jobs are usually booked about a month out. Every install carries a 1-year warranty.

At 1545 Main St #100, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233, just east of Jacksonville. Beachside works on vans from across Florida and Georgia, including St. Augustine, Gainesville, Orlando, Tampa and Fort Lauderdale.
