leisure batteries

[chunkolini]

Leisure battery in my Doblo has lost acell after three years.
Time to replace it for spring adventures
An old stylee Lead acid type 100ah here is https://www.eurocarparts.com/p/lion-battery-100ah-low-box-444776101
or something calling itself a Lithium Ironphosphate Battery? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0G4RF6...Z2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWxfcmlnaHRfc2hhcmVk&th=1
second one looks too cheap to be true or have Lithium batteries come down in price.
100amp hours is fine, just to run a fridge and diesel heater not using inverter powered kettles etc etc

Lithium batteries have dropped massively recently

I want to swap my leisure/backup battery and will go through sane route, just need a round tuit

Check if your charger is suitable for lithium batteries before buying them

Until it comes to after sales service, which has plummeted to zero since they were bought out. They now need to be reminded of the Consumer Rights Act 2015's requirements and they still try to get away with it. They have had my last business as a result. Battery Megastore in Tewkesbury can be recommended and for those in range can be visited. Junction 9 M5.

I've been using Battery Megastore for a fair few years without complaints, I've never had to test their warrantee.

You need a "B2B" (Battery to Battery) type charger for Lithium batteries I believe.
(If your Doblo is old enough to not have a "Smart" alternator which often accompanies Start/Stop tech), then you can get away with a Split Charge Relay with LA batts - like I do in my 2008 Renault Master.
If it does and/or you go Lithium, you need a different charger)

B2B - also known as a DC-DC converter. Lithium battery packs have very specific charging requirements which need to be observed, I'd also question if it is the best 'leisure' battery choice. Spiral wound AGM are the best I've used - Optima make the better ones and they'll charge from pretty much any alternator profile. Red top are general purpose, blue top are designed for constant float charging anf yellow top are designed for deep discharge - we fitted the yellow top ones as secondary 'winching' batteries to a lot of Landrovers.

I've used https://batterygroup.co.uk/ for many years with no issues.

I get my batteries from the local garage , he gets them off the yuasa rep . I get a 5 year warranty for the same(ish) price as Tanya .
