Installation and maintenance tips
Salt air on a mooring corrodes battery terminals faster than anywhere inland. Fit a fuse close to the battery on the main positive lead. Leaving a caravan battery flat all winter often ruins it.
lead-acid: how it works
Serviceable batteries have caps for checking the acid. Flooded deep-cycle batteries give good value in solar and traction work. Top up only with distilled water, after charging, never above the mark.
Check before ordering
- ✓ Plus post: positive on the right-hand side. Check yours before ordering.
- ✓ Amp-hours: 75Ah. More capacity means more reserve for accessories and slower discharge when parked.
- ✓ Cold cranking current reaches 650A. It ought to equal the carmaker's requirement at minimum, more so for diesels in cold winters.
Your questions answered
Can a battery be stored before use?
It is a good idea. All batteries lose some charge on the shelf, so a top-up before fitting helps.
How large and heavy is this battery?
At 278 × 175 × 190 mm, measure the tray or compartment carefully. Plan the lift too: 19.5 kg is heavier than it looks.
Is this enough battery for a cold start?
The cranking figure is 650A, measured to the EN standard, and the capacity is 75Ah. If your engine is large or you live somewhere cold, choose the higher end of what your vehicle allows.
