Exide Caravan and Leisure Batteries
Exide leisure batteries are hugely well regarded in the battery trade due to their ability to perform and real world capacities.
Exide Porta Power caravan batteries are available in two sizes or capacities, the 75Ah Exide Porta Power PP75 and the 115Ah Exide Porta Power PP115. Both of these units are extremely well made with strong carrying handles. They are both maintenance free, so no more topping up with distilled water is required.
As with all leisure batteries, it is imperative that these batteries are not left discharged for any period of time. Your batteries should be kept charged immediately after use. The reason for this is that if left discharged, the battery's internal plates build a coating on them known as sulphation. This leads to the battery building a resistance to holding a charge and in some cases prevents it holding a charge at all. To prevent this situation, charge the battery monthly, or when not in use connect to an automatic charger such as the excellent CTEK XS3600 battery conditioner and charger.
