Title: Leisure batteries & Chargers
Post by: paul mather on July 17, 2006, 12:09:28 am

Have seen a 110 AH leisure battery on Ebay delivered for £58 & a heavy duty charger delivered for £34. Any good?

a 110ah leisure battery is ideal - it'll run a pump for around 14hrs or more if you have a varistream while delivering full power until the battery is flat, 110 is an ideal size

Thanks JM123. This whole WFP Changeover is starting to seem a little daunting but slowly I'm getting there. My garage set-up is done, now moving on to the van

Just make sure you have everything well secured in the back of the van- esp the tank, what size you going for?  I'd recommend no less than 400ltr.  Normally the systems we build use 85/110Ah batteries, 6.4ltr/min pumps, varistream, microbore hose, metal floorstanding reels etc.  Buy the best you can afford, you'll not regret it in the long run.

Thanks  I am using a 400 litre tank would of liked bigger but van is only small so can't afford bigger or heavier tank.
