Leisure Battery Information

What is a Leisure Battery?

Your leisure battery is the heart of your caravan, motorhome or campervan's electrical system. If your leisure battery is underperforming, your whole electrical system will underperform. We suggest that should perform an annual check of your battery to ensure that it's in tip top condition.

The battery will power many aspects of your mobile home; from lights and television to fridge freezers to name just a few. If you have a motor mover, the 12V battery will be the power source for this too. The last thing you want is for a peaceful break to be ruined by a failing battery.

How to choose a Leisure Battery

When choosing a battery there are a few important considerations. The first being the physical space available. Always measure the area that the battery will live. Whether this be the caravan/motorhome battery box, or in other cases the area under the seat. You need to ensure that the battery you choose will fit into this space.

Next, you need to consider terminal type and polarity. Most leisure batteries have standard SAE (car type) terminal posts, but some other have a bolt type connection. In some cases the wiring requires that the positive terminal must be on either the right or left hand side. Ensure that the battery you look for matches this specification.

Now you want to look at the power rating. The battery capacity is the measure of how much energy the battery can hold and is measured in AH (amp hours). In short, the larger the number the longer the battery will last between charges. Strangely, the capacity of a battery can change depending on how fast the current is drawn from it so you will see different scales such as C20 or C100. A measurement of 100Ah at C20 (sometimes referred to as 20 hours) means that the battery should theoretically provide constant 5 Amps if discharged over 20 hours (100/20 = 5). A measurement of 100Ah at C100 would mean that the battery should theoretically provide a constant 1 Amp if discharged over 100 hours (100/100 = 1). Always check to ensure that you are comparing the same scale, as a 100Ah battery rated at C20 could be as high as 130Ah rated at C100.

Finally, if you have a motor mover we suggest looking for a battery with a high CCA value. This is 'cold cranking current' and is the measure of how much energy the battery can provide in one push. Unlike most other onboard electronics, a motormover is a high drain device so you need a lot of power in a short period. Traditional leisure batteries didn't quote a CCA value, but the introduction of motor movers has meant that most manufacturers now provide this value.

Do I need a Deep Cycle Leisure Battery?

The term Deep Cycle is traditionally used in industrial applications for battery such as the excellent Trojan Battery range. In brief; a deep cycle battery is a battery that is able to be very discharged and then recharged over and over many times. You may think that all batteries should be made to be this way, but the vast majority of leisure batteries don't have this requirement. Many campers use electric hookup or in the case of motorhomes, they will be driving daily with the alternator charging the battery. In these cases, the battery is rarely particularly discharged so the extra costs involved in the production of a deep cycle battery would not be justified.
