I still swear by my pair of Elecsol 100s. I'll get my coat...

Yer pays yer money etc. but the price difference over 7 yrs use (lots of short daily commutes all year round) makes me suggest 95ah for peace of mind.

Well short of ordering another, the Tanya website is still offering them as far as I can see. (no pun intended)

Indeed, I ordered and they rang me back to say they had none in stock and didn't know when or if they ever would as they had appeared to have closed up. They do have a different make that appears to fit the bill however.

Been looking at getting a replacement for my 2 yr old 2 yr gtee Platinum brand leisure..... well from the MMM test of 2012 and not very good reputation Elecsol were way off radar.... 5 years warranty and won't honour failures in 5 months.... no wonder they have gone...
I saw Tanya were still offering but with 1 year warranty..... me Energy Bull... upping to the 115 Ah version... If it's as good as they say and the one I have in my caravan.... I'll be happy
