whats the best to use for shurflow pump and new digital variflow....leisure or car battery? ime asking because at present i am using 85 amp leisure battery, which starts off on variflow at n. 3 setting then after couple of hrs the pressure drops and needs increaing bit by bit till it ends up on no. 8 or 9. Battery lasts two days then needs recharging.

I'm no sparky but I think that the prob is not your battery because once they start to lose charge they die quickly and compensating by raising the varistream doesn't normally give you much more life. IME anyway.

Always use leisure as they are designed for long periods at low power output.

When you change get a 110 amp and a smart charger and put it on every night after anymore than a couple of hours work.
It's a game of three halves!

The battery I use is really small its the type that goes on mopeds. The good thing about it is it will last about 4 hours is small and very light so it goes on the trolley no probs. I take a couple out with me and just recharge them at night. The only time I would change over to a larger battery is if I had a van mounted system and right now I dont want one of them.
