Product Information

Alpha Batteries bears no responsibility for whatsoever for loss occurred due to late or failed deliveries. 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.

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.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. When purchasing a Bosch car battery in the U.K., it's advisable to ensure that you choose the correct battery model that is compatible with your vehicle's specifications and requirements. It's also recommended to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for battery maintenance and consider professional installation if needed. A great, powerful leisure battery at the price, the Platinum Plus Leisure also provides up to five times’ more charge cycles than standard batteries.

A leisure battery is an auxiliary power supply that's designed to provide your caravan/motorhome with a steady rate of power. This is the type of power you need to ensure the electrical system stays healthy.

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. The same battery you’ll find in electric cars, lithium LiFePO4 leisure batteries are better than lead acid in pretty much every way: they can provide almost double the energy at half the weight, they have a much longer working life and feature electronic controllers to stop them discharging to the point of damage. However, they also cost quite a lot more as a consequence. Lead crystal leisure batteries Developed for use by the military in the 1980s, AGMs are lead-acid batteries that are extremely resistant to vibration, making them ideal for use on the go. Using an electrolyte-containing ultra-thin fibreglass mat sandwiched between lead plates steeped in sulphuric acid, AGMs are maintenance-free and completely sealed to eliminate any chance of spillage. AGM leisure batteries can also be discharged below 50% without fear of causing damage, but they are more expensive than flooded and sealed lead acid batteries. Flooded lead acid leisure batteries 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. 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

All leisure batteries output at 12V, and how long a fully charged battery will last (in amp hours, or Ah) depends on how much current is drawn from it. As a rough guide, if your battery is 100Ah it will provide 100 amps for one hour or one amp for 100 hours. If the appliance you’re powering doesn’t state how many amps it requires, you can work it out as follows Watts ÷ Volts = Amps. So, work out what appliances you’ll be powering simultaneously and get the calculator out.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? Another plus point, as it’s an AGM, it can also be charged via solar panels, so if you’re off on some epic tour of Europe, you can use portable panels to charge it during stopovers. Finally, when looking at the capacity of your battery, consider the physical size: will it actually fit into the space you have? This, I think it’s fair to say, is a crucial consideration.
