Just been on their website, and had absolutely first rate assistance via their online chat facility. Normally I hate these things, but this was superb. On the basis of that, I will always visit their site before any other. Recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a starter battery and a leisure battery?
Most motorhomes have two batteries. The starter battery is used to start and power the vehicles’ electrics. The leisure battery, on the other hand, powers the equipment fitted inside the motorhome’s living space. This can include electrical appliances like fridges, lights, TV and more. Leisure batteries are built to withstand repeated deep discharge cycles, unlike starter batteries, which can’t support the high power demands of electrical appliances.
What happens if I use a starter battery instead of a leisure battery?
This is highly inadvisable! You must only use a leisure battery to power your motorhome’s appliances, because the strain of using electrical appliances can damage automotive starter batteries and lead to premature failure of its internal components.
How long will a leisure battery last?
This depends on various factors ranging from the number of appliances you’re running off it to the length of your trips and how well you’ve maintained your battery. A standard leisure battery should last in the region of five years or more, provided it’s well-maintained. However, its does performance tend to deteriorate with age.
How do I improve a leisure battery’s service life?
If you want to prolong the lifespan of a leisure battery, you need to maintain it regularly. This includes monitoring and charging it, especially when the battery isn’t in use for long periods. One key tip is to avoid letting the battery to discharge below 50% capacity.
How do I test a leisure battery?
As mentioned above, to keep your leisure battery in good condition, you should routinely monitor its voltage and state of health. You can test the battery voltage using the onboard control panel, a voltmeter or multimeter. Its state of health is usually checked with a suitable conductance type tester.
Can I use the leisure battery while it’s charging?
This depends on the leisure battery you have installed, but most modern leisure batteries can support usage while being charged.
Can you overcharge a leisure battery?
Yes! You must keep an eye on the battery as it’s charging as it is entirely possible to end up overcharging it. This typically happens if you try to charge the battery too quickly, and can lead to damage.
What should I keep in mind when choosing a leisure battery?
Choosing the right leisure battery for your motorhome is essential for good performance, and you should consider various factors. For instance, you should check the watt-hours and capacity (Ah rating). These indicate the amount of power the battery can supply to support your electrical appliances. You should also look at cycle life - in other words, the number of times the battery can be discharged to 50% and then fully recharged. If you intend to use the battery very often, you should choose a battery with large cycle life.
