If you have recently disconnected a charger or have been driving a motorhome or towing, a reading will be higher than normal. After a battery has been receiving a charge, it is recommended to let it settle for at least four hours before taking a voltage reading. 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. Terminal Layout: Negative (-) on left, Positive (+) on right ; with the terminals on the edge of the battery closest to youEach compartment creates a nominal 2.12V, thereby creating a total of around 12.7V for a fully-charged battery. Treat any item that delivers power with some care and attention. Store batteries in a safe and dry location. Also, ensure that the terminals are greased. The engine size is primary. A larger engine uses a larger starter motor and needs more battery power to turn it over first thing of a cold morning. Other factors include the number of cylinders the engine has, each of which needs converted energy to create a spark for combustion. The battery power used during the starting up process is then replaced by the alternator, which supplies the bulk of electrical current to your car's electrical systems, keeping your battery fully charged.

The compartments in the casing of lead-acid batteries are also filled with diluted sulphuric acid referred to as the electrolyte. The casing also has a gas outlet for releasing any hydrogen created during re-charging. This must not be allowed to become detached. This guide focuses on lead-acid batteries which are manufactured for particular tasks but in recent years we've seen an increase in the availability of lithium batteries so they're now worth a mention. They also get classified using various names. Types of conventional lead-acid batteries: Gel - Like AGMs, Gel batteries are sealed units so can be laid on their side. They are leakproof and can recharge if ran flat (though still not advised). Gel batteries are the safest option and are commonly in campervans and motorhomes from Europe. They are one of the most expensive battery types.Some leisure vehicles, such as those used for off-road quad bikes and jet skis, have a greater likelihood of tipping over. An accidental inversion might also result in the loss of a battery’s corrosive acid which, in turn, might cause personal injury. In response to this, batteries are installed which have a non-spill electrolyte in the form of a gel. Unlike a ‘wet’ battery, a gel battery’s casing is completely sealed. Recently, some imported motorhomes have been fitted with a gel battery rather than a lead-acid battery, but this is for added safety during a crash. From an electrical perspective, batteries with a gel electrolyte are unlikely to perform any better than wet-acid types. Also be aware that when recharging a gel battery, the charge voltage must not exceed 14.2V. Information on charging requirements is a subject in its own right. The greater amount of lead in a genuine leisure battery and its more elaborate separators is reflected in its higher price and increased weight. Non-wet leisure batteries As mentioned earlier, AGM batteries are unusual in that they can act as starter batteries as well as leisure products. For instance, some recent cars are fitted with a supporting AGM second battery to run the many electronic aids now being installed. Similarly, their notable performance is recognised by caravanners wanting a task-specific support battery to specifically run a motor mover.

Now you need to interpret the reading and although we talk about 12V batteries and accessories, this description is only nominal. If a leisure battery achieves a 12V reading, it is considered to have reached a discharged state. As its name suggests there's broadly the same basic chemistry going with a reaction between lead and an acid but with these the acid is in a crystal form. This means there's very little liquid content with no risk of spillage making them safe to transport. The unique chemistry enables them to be very deep cycled with little risk of sulphation. They can be be around twice the price of a good quality deep-cycle battery but as they were originally designed for UPS use they're robust against continuous charging from a solar supply and can tolerate heavy discharge loads from an inverter for example. Introducing the Exide 017 Car Battery 12V 95Ah - your reliable power solution for your vehicle's electrical needs. Designed with advanced technology and unmatched performance, this battery is a perfect fit for a wide range of car models. Class A - Higher capacity batteries for those who frequently spend extended time away from an electrical hook-up.

Leisure battery construction and care

For example : If a light bulb used only 1 ampere in an hour then a 50Ah battery could light up 50 light bulbs for an hour. Alternatively it could power 1 light bulb for 50 hours* Enhanced Flooded Batteries - EFB products are an enhanced version of standard lead acid technology. They offer improved charge acceptance and greater durability with charge cycles. Good battery performance is important because problems during the warranty period tarnish customer satisfaction. Any service requirement during that time is recorded and the number is published in trade magazines. This data is of great interest among prospective car buyers throughout the world. Category A is for higher storage capacity for people who frequently use their caravans or motorhomes away from electrical hook-ups

As Lifesure notes, the best leisure batteries also can smooth out and correct irregularities in a power supply. How long should a battery last? Your car uses the battery for 2 main purposes (1) the Engine (2) the Electrics such as lights, wipers, satellite navigation, stereo and so on. Let’s take an example. If a battery which is nominally rated at 60Ah is operating in temperatures of 15C, this ten degree reduction will bring about a 10 per cent reduction in its capacity. This now means that it effectively performs like a 54Ah battery. The temperature issue can have adverse effects for caravan and motorhome users who enjoy winter sports. Not only will a battery face greater demands when providing their lighting, fan-assisted heating, and evening TV entertainment during long, dark evenings; its effective capacity is significantly lower than it would be in warmer conditions.Class B - Medium capacity for those who often use mains hook-up but also need to run more power-hungry devices like motor movers or heaters. No. Although they look a lot alike, a car battery and a leisure battery discharge power differently. A car battery will release its power in one short, sharp jolt before being recharged via an alternator. The best leisure batteries release their power in a slow, controlled stream. Can I use solar power instead to recharge a leisure battery?
