ive had mine 15 months (bought from corwoods).75 ah  (to run a single pump).its been flashing BAT last few days at the end of the day.

i always charge them up overnight EVERY night.

last one lasted 9 months and the one before that was a car battery that lasted about 5 months!!


so ive just bought another 75ah lion leisure battery from local caravan supplies shop.£77!!

[Dave Willis]

never got much more than a year out of mine. Don't use the now.

[David Kent @ KentKleen]

You get what you pay for Daz.
Not been funny at all here but............

When you buy the cheap batteries for kids toys, torches etc you never expect them to last as long as the top of the range duracell do you? There is NO comparison.

It frustrates me that wfp'ers who invest £1000's on systems and  poles run there systems with 'CHEAP' batteries.

Caravan shops and low end motor factors will sell you anything they have in stock and claim it will do the job.

Had a numax 75amh for over 3 years now mainly 1 pump ... thought it was on way out last few eeks but turns out it was my controller slowly dying.

When this one goes will replace it with a 90 amh as gonna be hammering first cleans these coming year

Think paid about £60 for my numax bettery

[dazmond]

im not really in the know about what a good leisure battery is.every time i look at them online i get a long list of technical jargon.at that point my eyes glaze over and i lose interest!!

[Mick Kent]

I buy the ones in halfords, i get 12-18 months from them which suits me.

[Ben wood]

I keep saying get a split relay. I do on avg 5 miles a day as work very compact and have never ran a battery out and have never had to charge since.
