The best leisure batteries you can buy in 2023 1. Royal Battery SuperBatt DT120: Best all-round leisure battery

The classification of every Halfords’ battery is clearly marked giving you confidence that you’re buying a battery that’s fit for purpose and will provide you with the performance and the power you’re paying for - not leaving you short changed and underpowered. A bit like the AGM leisure battery design, but with a completely different makeup, lead crystal (LC) leisure batteries use a micro-porous super-absorbent mat (SAM), high-purity lead calcium selenium plates and a safe SiO2 electrolyte solution. LC batteries can be discharged completely and also recharged from flat without any damage and can offer three times the lifespan of lead acid batteries. Naturally, this all comes at a price. Bosch is a well-known and reputable brand that manufactures a range of automotive products, including car batteries. In the United Kingdom, Bosch car batteries are widely available and trusted by many vehicle owners. Apart from the different designs, there are also three different classes; A, B and C, as determined by the National Caravan Council. Class A is a powerful option for going off-grid and powering just about everything without an electric hook-up; Class B is for pitches with electric hook-up and more for lights and, say, motor movers; and Class C is for keeping your lights on with an electric hook-up. Leisure batteries: which one is right for me?

Featuring an onboard state-of-the-art battery management system with high-performance dual-processors, the battery protects itself from overcharging, shorting out and overheating while maintaining a balanced voltage across all cells, so you’ll never need to worry about it. Also firmly in the Lucas’ favour, should you need to be starting any engines up, it’s capable of 900 CCA, which is enough to start Frankenstein’s monster, let alone any vehicle, no matter how cold, and has a 70% DoD (Depth of Discharge), giving you more power than most.A definite consideration for anyone who uses their caravan or motorhome a lot (even, perhaps, living in it), this lightweight option (lithium batteries weigh considerably less than lead acid ones) is capable of a whopping 4,000 cycles at 80% Depth of Discharge (DoD), whereas AGM batteries provide only 50%, so you get a huge lifecycle and 30% more amp hours, meaning you could get as much as a decade’s worth of work out of the Renogy without worry. Also, you’ll want to take into consideration how many recharge cycles your battery can handle before giving up the ghost. The more a battery can do, the better, obviously. These are generally referred to as “deep-cycle” leisure batteries. A low self-discharge rate gives long shelf life when not in use, and a handy carrying handle on the top makes it easy to move from location to location. These are in essence the same as flooded lead acid batteries, except you can’t open them to top up the electrolytes. How is this a good thing? Well, there’s considerably less chance of spilling sulphuric acid over yourself, which is a definite plus. Both flooded and sealed batteries run the risk of permanent damage if discharged below 50%. Gel leisure batteries

Your leisure battery needs to be maintained in good condition to give consistent performance. In fact, running a leisure battery down until it’s empty could cause unnecessary and permanent damage. It’s safe to use up to 50% of your leisure battery’s charge, after which it’s advisable to recharge it. The battery size you choose must correspond with that of your battery box. This is because the higher the capacity of a leisure battery, the bigger its physical size. The two most common leisure battery capacities are 85Ah and 110Ah. However, Euro Car Parts also sells examples with capacities of 75Ah, 95Ah, 100Ah and 115Ah.An AGM battery similar to the Royal Battery SuperBatt, you may notice that the Lucas option offers fewer amp hours for more money, and you’d be right. However, unlike most of its model types, the Lucas is a deep cycle battery that’s capable of a staggering 500 recharge cycles, as opposed to the 100–150 of other AGMs. What’s more, you get a year extra on your warranty compared to the SuperBatt. 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. All leisure batteries in the Euro Car Parts range supply 12V of power. Yet the important unit to consider is ampere/hours (Ah). This is a measure of capacity (how much energy the battery can store). The higher the Ah of the battery, the longer it will last before you need to charge it. Key specs – Type: Sealed lead acid; Capacity: 110Ah, Voltage: 12V; Usage: Caravan; Dimensions: 32.8 x 17.1 x 23.7cm; Warranty: 2 years While the Platinum Leisure Plus may not be the absolute cheapest of its kind, it is produced by a reputable brand, so the extra bit of cash spent on it will buy you peace of mind.
