The Winnebago Travato is a top selling Class B Camper Van built on the RAM ProMaster Chassis. It is designed for efficient, compact travel while offering many comforts of a traditional RV. It is available in 2 floorplans, the Travato 59K with a twin flex bed system and the Travato 59G with a rear Murphy Bed. The 59K floorplan is available in a lithium-powered floorplan as well, called the 59KL.
Winnebago’s lithium-powered Travato 59KL now includes the advanced Winnebago Power MAX System, fueled by a Lithionics lithium battery—an innovative and efficient energy solution that seamlessly integrates multiple components. Keep reading to discover the various ways the Lithionics lithium battery within the Power MAX System can be recharged.

Recharging the Winnebago Power Max System via Solar
The Lithionics battery of the Power Max System can be charged by the Merlin solar power system. The Travato 59KL’s MPPT solar controller provides best-in-class solar absorption, up to 30% better than competitors, giving you more off-the-grid performance. The Travato comes standard with 245-watts of Merlin solar panels with additional ports to plug in additional Merlin portable panels up to 1,600-watts.
Recharging the Winnebago Power Max System via Shoreline Power
As with many RVs, the Lithionics battery can be charged using shore power or by plugging into an electrical source at a campsite. What makes the Travato 59KL stand out is its powerful 3,600-watt pure sine wave inverter, which provides 30 amps of reliable power wherever you are.
Recharging the Winnebago Power Max System via Dual Alternators
The Power MAX System delivers outstanding performance with dual alternator charging, capable of powering the air conditioner while simultaneously recharging the lithium battery—even at idle. Together, the dual alternators provide up to 9,000 watts of charging power, thanks in part to the second under-hood 160-amp alternator from American Power Systems, which is designed for fast, efficient charging even when the engine is idling.
