130AH 12V LEISURE BATTERY FOR CARAVAN CAMPERVAN MOTORHOME DEEP CYCLE

Product Information

Leisure batteries are an essential part of the caravanning or boating experience as they provide all the electrical power to keep the lights on, charge our ever-increasing number of digital devices and, in the case of more modern caravan owners, use exterior electronics such as motor movers to position vans and boats without a vehicle. The SmartSolar charge controller will even recharge a severely depleted battery. It can operate with a battery voltage as low as 0 Volts, provided the cells are not permanently sulphated or otherwise damaged. To save you from falling into that potentially powerless position, we’ve rounded up the very best of the current batch of leisure batteries, each a powerhouse of performance that will let you keep the lights on from dusk till dawn. Aren’t leisure batteries all the same?

Caravans need a steady, slower power supply, so a car battery wouldn't last long. Why is it Worth Buying a Leisure Battery for Caravan Trips? 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 solar charger gathers energy from your solar panels, and stores it in your batteries. Using the latest, fastest technology, SmartSolar maximises this energy-harvest, driving it intelligently to achieve full charge in the shortest possible time. SmartSolar maintains battery health, extending its life. Fitted with twin terminals for installation versatility (post & thread options available to user) and support of series connections for larger leisure set-ups Over-discharge of the battery can be prevented by connecting all loads to the load output. The load output will disconnect the load when the battery has been discharged to a pre-set voltage (48V model: interface with a relay). Alternatively, an intelligent battery management algorithm can be chosen: see Battery Life. The load output is short circuit proof.

The best leisure batteries you can buy in 2023

What’s more, switching to shelf mode means the Renogy will have a low self-discharge rate to keep it protected when not in use. The first point that needs sorting before saying go for the biggest battery that you can get in is to determine, "is the van’s payload generous enough to have that option"? 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. 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 A sturdy, anodized aluminium frame allows modules to be easily roof-mounted with a variety of standard mounting systems.

Each leisure battery has a different specification and technological design, so the best option is to work out your total power demands from your appliances before you buy.When a solar charge controller is not able to recharge the battery to its full capacity within one day, the result is often that the battery will continually be cycled between a ‘partially charged’ state and the ‘end of discharge’ state. This mode of operation (no regular full recharge) will destroy a lead-acid battery within weeks or months. The Battery Life algorithm will monitor the state of charge of the battery and, if needed, day by day slightly increase the load disconnect level (i.e. disconnect the load earlier) until the harvested solar energy is sufficient to recharge the battery to nearly the full 100%. From that point onwards, the load disconnect level will be modulated so that a nearly 100% recharge is achieved about once every week.
