what leisure battery to buy ???

hi
any advice on buying a leisure battery
I run in the motorhome the following
16"lcd tv /dvd
iomega media player
300w inverter
11 lights in total (All LED's)
truma gas heater / blower
whale water pump

120w solar panel

i currently have an excide 90 but not very happy with its service

any ideas ???

2 x 110 of a decent make will be best option

That's the ones I have! Couldn't remember the make until you said platinum.

I have just returned and had a refund on two 100ah ELECSOL purchased in Sept 12 Previously got one replaced in Feb. they both then collapsed. I had them tested and they were found to be 43% and 46% of what they should be. Through exhaustive research I can tell you that there is NO such thing as a LEISURE battery (see latest Caravan Club Mag.) The rate at which a battery is discharged is a big factor. if you draw only a 1 or 2amp load you will get more amp-hours (AH) than if you draw 5 or 6 amps. Batteries are designed to give the rated AH at a specified discharge rate so a 100AH battery will only provide one hundred hours of power if it is discharged at the appropriate rate. My advise is to buy ONLY from someone who can explain to you the discharge rate (which is found on a sticker on a lot of batteries) My new batteries show 90AH ,115AH, and135AH. My usual discharge rate is 6/7amps so I expect to achieve 115AH. or approx 16 hours use. With a lower rate of discharge I would get a higher AH and with a higher rate of discharge I would get a lower AH Hope this helps

good enough advise, but how can anyone of us apply it? All very well for the show to open 6 on a bench but we won't have that luxury.

He didn't even name the make of the only one good one

I had to change mine, lead acid 110ah first two places I tried had only a 1 year warranty, JNK components in Ballymena were best price and they also had a 2 year warranty
