The greater amount of lead in a genuine leisure battery and its more elaborate separators is reflected in its higher price and increased weight. Non-wet leisure batteries

Faulty products will be replaced as soon as we are able to verify the fault and ship another to you. The average car battery will have an Ah rating somewhere around 50Ah. The 50Ah means that it can push 12 volts out at a rate of 50 amperes in an hour. Dynamic Silver car batteries are a great all-rounder, providing more power than our blue range at great value. Suitable for many manufacturers such as Ford, Vauxhall, Renault, Citroen, VW, Peugeot, BMW, Audi, Skoda, Volvo, Honda, Fiat and many more. They offer excellent cold start performance and reliability. If you have recently disconnected a charger or have been driving a motorhome or towing, a reading will be higher than normal. After a battery has been receiving a charge, it is recommended to let it settle for at least four hours before taking a voltage reading.When inspecting battery cells, wear safety clothing including eye protection and gloves. Battery acid also damages clothing. Cost is the issue, they can typically be more than five times the price of a good quality lead-acid battery. Maintenance-free batteries Most caravan control panels have a light display or battery condition meter, some of which don’t provide a precise indication of its charge level. More accurate information is obtained by taking a reading across a battery’s terminals using a digital meter. When using a hand-held meter, note the following points: With the car electrics – most modern cars have sat-nav and a fairly good stereo. 20 years ago this would not have been the case. Additions such as a powerful stereo were usually added later and sat nav’s didn’t even exist. In doing so the driver 20 years ago would probably not have found his or her battery going flat prematurely because the rest of the vehicle had less electronics on-board.

Battery manufacturers often strongly advise that a battery receives a re-charge when its capacity falls below 50 per cent of its full condition. It is also added that you should never run a leisure battery until it is virtually ‘flat’. Further details are covered in the battery charging guide. Class A - Higher capacity batteries for those who frequently spend extended time away from an electrical hook-up. We offer a range of batteries that vary in terms of size and capacity including various types of car batteries. All of our batteries are graded according to the NCC Leisure Battery Verification Scheme which classifies them into three categories according to their capacity and intended purpose. Class A batteries are suitable for frequent off-grid usage and power-hungry appliances like kettles and TVs; Class B and C batteries are better for limited off-grid use.

Each compartment houses a series of positive and negative lead plates. These have a grid construction so that lead oxide paste can be pressed into all the apertures. Terminal Layout: Negative (-) on left, Positive (+) on right ; with the terminals on the edge of the battery closest to you Lithium iron phosphate (LiFePO 4) batteries are another form of very deep cycle battery. They're self contained units with their own on-board charge manager. Having elminated lead they typically weigh half as much as an equivelant output lead-acid battery so the weight saving is a benefit. They can also be fully discharged and recharged and during the discharge cycle they can retain a stable voltage level and they can be rapidly recharged. Category A is for higher storage capacity for people who frequently use their caravans or motorhomes away from electrical hook-ups
