Leisure Battery Problems or Replace it?

Hi, the leisure battery in our bongo is showing low in condition, I tried charging it up on a slow charger, but the charger said it was fully charged - so I guess it needs replacing?

The current battery is rated at 75 A/H, is it worth spending a little more and getting a higher rated replacement?

Can anyone recommend a decent leisure battery?

Thanks

Hi, I have an Avon leisure battery on the advice of a friend. They seem to be quite commonly available.

I managed to squeeze a 100Ah in but it's pretty tight.

We're near Bristol so if you need one collecting let us know.

We will be at the National so can relay it on from there.

I recommend the numax 110ah leisure battery to solar panel customers. It fits nicely and is around £85 delivered from TANYA batteries.

I squeezed a 135ah Energy Bull battery in - it was even tighter!
