Hello all, my 2x  110ah lion leisure batteries are ready 4 changing, which ive always rotated daily & charged with a ctek 5amp intel charger, and having noticed that euro car parts have put these up to £95 ish! so ive been looking elsewhere. (i got them a couple of yrs ago from there  4 around £70ish)  Anyway i have been looking at banner energy bulls (thicker plates inside?) @ about  £110 each as they are supposed 2 be a  v good batt. But ive also seen cheap 110 ah's on ebay  4 around £60  and was wondering if the banners are really worth the extra? Any Recommended Leisure Battery  Brands Anyone? Thanks m

The ones from halfords are ok... £59 the other week one i bought one.

I've been using numax ? 110 amp not really had a great deal of success, so switched to 100 amp and that seems great so far, bought via local tyre company and paid about £68

I wouldn't really recommend a battery but what I would say is try to buy from a supplier that has a good turnover
in other words the batteries don't sit for too long on the shelf.
Don't buy from caravan dealers as they tend to be overpriced and the batteries can sit for years as caravan users very rarely
need to change a battery and they will be the main customers.
When you get the battery it should be fully charged or at least have a 90% charge, if you need to charge it take it back.
The dearest part of a battery is the lead so if the battery is cheap it will mean it has less lead in it and wont last as long, that wont
mean the battery your buying isn't a cheap model and just overpriced so finding out the weight of the battery is always a good way to check this.

i buy mine from the local caravan spares shop as its 2 mins from  where i live.75 ah though so it fits snugly in my pumpbox.about £70.lion batteries.

they normally last around 2 years before i need to replace them.i charge them every night with a halfords smart charger.i only buy one battery at a time and use it constantly until it doesnt hold its charge anymore.

Had to charge my two leisure batteries over weekend.

First time in 1 and half years.

I have a grippa max SPC

twin 110ah numax,

Only reason for the charge is because i am doing a lot bigger jobs now and the van just sits there all day pumping away.

Deep Cycle Info For The YUASA 115ah L35-115 Leisureline
The Leisureline batteries have been designed to maximise the deep cycle capability through innovative plate formulations and design. Typically each Leisureline battery will cycle to 50% charge and back, 120 times.                         ??                                                                                                                          Im attracted to the yuasa brand of course , BUT 120 cycles?  I thought most were stating 250? and real leisure batts 500? wtf? The yuasa's can be picked up from allparts @ £80 all in, but like someone else said above, its best to buy from a seller who moves stock fast, to avoid self sitting. Im still looking. Thanks 4 all replys btw. m
