130AH 12V LEISURE BATTERY FOR CARAVAN CAMPERVAN MOTORHOME DEEP CYCLE

Product Information

Before you start to do your shopping list for a new leisure battery, you need to ask yourself some questions: These are in essence the same as flooded lead acid batteries, except you can’t open them to top up the electrolytes. How is this a good thing? Well, there’s considerably less chance of spilling sulphuric acid over yourself, which is a definite plus. Both flooded and sealed batteries run the risk of permanent damage if discharged below 50%. Gel leisure batteries

As such, it’s not surprising that ‘van owners find themselves shopping for leisure batteries more often than they might expect. Choosing the right leisure battery for you A standard leisure battery contains flat lead plates immersed in an acid electrolyte in one of a number of forms. The acid and lead react to create an electric charge Essentially, open lead acid is where all batteries started, and it’s still going strong. Another term used to describe them is ‘flooded batteries’. In short, no. 110 AH leisure battery units and car batteries work very differently and aren't interchangeable unless in an emergency. Choosing the best 110AH leisure battery isn't always easy - and if you're ever had an issue with your 110 leisure battery in your caravan, it's important to understand what to look for.

Sealed and spill-proof, you won’t be able to top it up in the way you can flooded lead acid batteries, but this also means it’s always safe to handle and maintenance-free. However, even basic lead-acid batteries have been used in off-grid applications successfully for decades. Can you run an electric kettle in your caravan or motorhome from a leisure battery? Compared to lead-acid technology, Lithium can provide roughly double the energy density for half the weight! So, for example, if you are planning on caravanning and would like to make sure that you can watch TV for 3 hours, your equation would look like this:

The warranty on any replacement battery will expire on the original battery's warranty expiry date. Another “truth about leisure batteries” is that AGM batteries of all types are reasonably priced. These batteries have a deep cycle and are also a great choice after the semi-traction batteries. Deep-cycle batteries are sealed and maintenance-free. More importantly, the AGM battery is a deep-cycle battery.

With leisure batteries, you need to consider their physical size and their amp hour (AH) rating. So first, let’s deal with the physical size.

You will find Valance lithium batteries used in commercial EV vehicles and various other commercial applications. Category C is for users that require a lower capacity battery to cover basic operation of their habitation equipment for short periods away from a hook-up. The C20 rating shows how it performs in accordance with EN50342-1 test conditions. At a constant load of 5 Amps this battery would supply current for 20 hours. A total of 100 Amp Hours (AH) Lead Acid - Lead Acid is the most common type. They require maintenance and need venting. They take damage if left to run flat. Valve Regulated Lead Acid batteries operate in the same way but do not require venting. Now, as you can appreciate from the features of the other lead battery technologies above, that’s pretty amazing! You can even leave a lead crystal battery at a partial rate of change without damaging it.NCC Verification: If the battery is verified by the National Caravan Council (NCC), then you should be pretty comfortable with it. The battery could be verified as class A, B or C. These classes indicate the intended use of the batteries. An AGM battery similar to the Royal Battery SuperBatt, you may notice that the Lucas option offers fewer amp hours for more money, and you’d be right. However, unlike most of its model types, the Lucas is a deep cycle battery that’s capable of a staggering 500 recharge cycles, as opposed to the 100–150 of other AGMs. What’s more, you get a year extra on your warranty compared to the SuperBatt. Inspect your 110 leisure battery for white deposits on the plates - this is sulphation and means you can no longer use the battery. Also firmly in the Lucas’ favour, should you need to be starting any engines up, it’s capable of 900 CCA, which is enough to start Frankenstein’s monster, let alone any vehicle, no matter how cold, and has a 70% DoD (Depth of Discharge), giving you more power than most.
