Right i need a leisure battery for my caravan, preferably an elecsol or numax 110.
Can anyone on here get them cheap, an elecsol is just over a hundred quid, which is taking the **** i think.
Anyone help out, much appreciated??????
 
A leisure battery is designed to release a slow current over a long period of time, which is whats needed in a caravan.
A car or normal vehicle battery is designed to release its charge in quick bursts for maximum effect, e.g starting the car.
Hence why i need a leisure battery, they last longer.
 
Gary give me some more info on its life span etc etc.

Ive found out that ambulances also use a semi traction leisure battery for pro longed useage for their equipment. So i may have a little joy in getting one as the missus is a nurse..... :D

What amperes is yours and does it fit in ya side locker, does it charge ok on van charger etc etc.
 
right leonard as i explained to you this afternoon a battery's power is decided by it Ah(amp hours) rating. the higher the rating the longer it will last. you need a 98Ah commercial vehicle battery to do your job. ;)
