battery choice

My opinion.

Don't go for expensive ones, buy cheap and look after them by not fully discharging to often or at all if it can be helped. I use budget ones and they are great I think they are just called "premium".

There are a load of threads on here about batteries, one being "no such thing as a leisure battery"

It is definitely recommended that you fit two the same as the same time.

Everyone has their own opinion on what to buy.

I bought two 110 amp elecsol batteries for our last van. They professed to be fantastic quality and gave a five year guarantee. Both of mine have up after 30 months without warning. They were replaced under warranty and were in the van when I sold it 18 months later.

Our current van has two 100 amp Banner batteries but it is only about six months old so it's early days.


So as Ally says, cheap May do the job well.

if you are near ards then cj caravans are doing 110 leisure batteries for 70 quiod a piece, check their facebook or web page

simon at lts done me a great deal on two 110 leisure batts

read the sterling power article so its lead acid for me... a matching pair that fits under my two seat. Thanks chaps!

I use Numax 110 leisure batteries , I find wet cell leisure batteries last a lot longer than dry cell ones , the alternator charge seems to be very hard on dry cell batteries.

ah yeah , easily less than 38cm , I'll double check tomorrow,
