Choosing a leisure battery for your caravan, camper, motorhome or boat can be quite difficult if you don't know what to look for. At Leisure Battery Shop we offer a wide range of leisure batteries to cater for all leisure applications. Leisure batteries can firstly be broken down to the standard wet lead acid type like the Numax L85 Leisure battery, the wet sealed lead acid type like the Numax CXV24MF Sealed Leisure Battery the Gel type like the Sonnenschein Gel SL80 or the Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) type like the Optima YT S 4.2. Other brands of leisure battery we supply are the Varta (Wet type).
To decide which type is best for you depends on a number of factors. The standard wet lead acid leisure battery is generally the cheapest on the market. They are cost effective but need maintaining and are more prone to damage caused by discharging and generally have a shorter service life than other leisure batteries. The sealed wet leisure battery needs no maintenance, will hold its charge for longer and are safer as they cannot leak electrolyte like a standard leisure battery. AGM and Gel leisure batteries are able to cope with more charge - discharge cycles during there service life and will hold their charge far longer. They are also used for more specialist applications as they do not gas as much as other batteries and are completely leak proof. The AGM batteries also have the advantage of being extremely resistant to vibration.
The next thing to consider when buying a leisure battery is what you'll be running off the battery, like a fridge, lights, tv etc. If you calculate how many amps your appliances will be using it makes it a lot easier to select the correct leisure battery. Another consideration is whether you are going to be away from a charging source for certain periods of time. The longer you are away from a charging point the bigger the battery's capacity will have to be.
The battery's capacity, measured in Amp Hours (Ah), is a measure of how much energy the battery can store. The bigger the Ah value the more energy can be stored and therefore will last longer between charges for similar loads. Generally the bigger the battery, the higher its Ah value will be. This is when you'll have to compromise if your battery tray restricts you to a certain size of battery.
Whichever leisure battery you choose it will need to be kept in good condition to fulfill its maximum service life. This can be done by using a good charger to keep it charged when not in use. This keeps the battery healthy and prevents sulphation of the battery plates. For standard wet leisure batteries a simple battery charger can be used to charge it monthly when not in use. For sealed AGM and Gel leisure batteries it is best to use an automatic charger like the 4138 Gunson or the CTEK MULTI XS 3600. The CTEK MULTI XS 7000 will be needed for larger leisure batteries.
