Replacing my Leisure Battery

I suspected that my leisure battery had met its end and I think I am right. I have checked and replaced appropriate fuses, charged her up on the mains and by morning (running nothing) she is almost out of charge. She appears to not be holding charge.

Can someone tell me where I can have her replaced, preferably local to me in North Manchester or Bury - I need someone to take out the old one, and put in and connect the new one with me having to do nothing at all (apart from try and look pretty and perhaps hand over some dosh).

The one I have is an 85 one - a it bigger would be good but not neccesary.

Last time I had problems with my leisure battery running down it turned out that I had left my fridge on. When I received my conversion back from the converter I was not told that the fridge was connected directly to the leisure battery and not through the Power Management System. I have Madmile to thank for the information.

Good job you didn't replace it first. The only think I have attached to that battery is 2 12v sockets in the rear, neither have anything plugged into them, the tap (not on) and the internal side light (not on) so I think I am ok :)
