Leisure Batteries

Post by baronweetman » Wed Mar 12, 2014 8:00 pm

Can someone tell me the largest (Physically) battery that will fit in my Bongo. PLEASE. I need a min of 110 Ah. Thanks in advance.

Also I need to carry a heavy powerchair on a carrier that is fixed to he tow ball. So need to assist the rear springs . So anyone used the airlift suspension system? Pros and cons please. Cheers

I regularly fit a Numax CXV30HMF into Bongos. It's 113AH and around £100 delivered. It's great value, a good fit, and has a good cycles rating, and a good warranty.

Helps to stiffen up the rear end and compensate for extra weight. Bit fiddly to fit, you need to keep an eye on the pressure to ensure the units stay inflated correctly (I didn't, so now on my second set) and you should inform your insurance company.
