Product Information

Battery specialists sometimes diagnose a lead-acid battery’s condition using a hydrometer to obtain the specific gravity of the acid. Although this method has some advantages, it cannot be used on a sealed battery and the procedure is not discussed further here.

Moreover, in a genuine leisure battery, these envelopes also contain glass fibre sheets to press against the lead oxide paste held in each plate. This combats the tendency during constant re-charging for the paste to become loosened and then completely detachedfrom the lead grid.Whereas a 12V battery is unlikely to cause electrocution, if the terminals or their couple cables are shorted-out, it can cause a fire. However, the second time I connected it up, it didn't work. The radio never worked again, so I replaced it. Not surprisingly, batteries are made to be ‘job specific’. For instance, a conventional car battery seldom lasts long when asked to provide a 12V supply in a caravan or motorhome. This is partly because its lead plates are thinner and its separators (described later) are different, too.

That is the situation we faced with, and the short term solution was to fit a smaller battery. It's ironic really that you have to reduce the size of the battery to cope with all the extra items wanting power. Next, you fit a mover and a second, heavier, pair of leads appears. Space inside the battery box starts to get tight. You shorten the new leads to help, but now you have to disconnect the battery before you can lift it to the ground.On the other hand, caravans only have leisure batteries, and these need to be charged to ensure your Standard leisure batteries (also referred to as auxiliary batteries, deep-cycling batteries, lead-acid batteries, wet batteries). Needless-to-say, if a battery box is mounted inside, heat in the living area will help to improve its performance. However, many batteries are mounted externally where ambient temperatures can be much lower.
