Leisure Batteries

Introduction to leisure batteries, By Jeffrey Scott (Director of Sussex Installation Team LTD):-

If you are reading this then I will assume that you have some leisure vehicle experience, you will probably also already have had the wonderful experience of a short break in a Motorhome or Horsebox only to have had it followed by not being able to start your vehicle. There is a good chance that the reason for this is simply because while you were away you were using the power from your vehicles battery for light, refrigeration, water pumps, music and so on! Now your vehicles battery was not designed for this, it was designed for running the electrics of your vehicle while you drive and the all important starting of your engine!

Another thing that your running batteries were not designed for is to be run flat. Running vehicle batteries flat seems to reduce their lives by a considerable period, leaving them flat for the winter is sure to kill them! Leisure batteries on the other hand are designed to be able to be run flat and be recharged again and again.

Now getting to the point, if you have all your leisure electrics powered by a leisure battery you can use the lights, shower, refrigerator, television or whatever until the battery is flat and if the leisure battery goes flat then that is no problem. Your vehicle battery remains unaffected so you can still start your vehicle and drive home, or better still with one of our "charge while you drive systems" you can start your vehicle and leave the engine running for a while to recharge your leisure battery.

Please browse this section and also the battery isolator section for useful gadgets to keep your vehicles power in order.

If you have no leisure battery and your current living area accessories are being powered from your vehicles running batteries then this is a all in one conversion kit solution. We will A) install a 110AH leisure battery into your vehicle supplying battery terminals and a method of fixing the battery into place. B) Install a charge while you drive charging system. C) Reroute your living accessories power supply from you vehicles battery to the newly installed leisure battery or if it's a new installation then we can connect a 4 way fuse board and leave earth fly leads so all can wire your own electrics and have a simple safe way of powering your electrical extras (This is ideal for people who are doing self conversions, who often find the electrical connections the hardest part of the conversion). Additional labour is available by the hour for other wiring that you may require.
