Leisure battery?

Cheers DD. She's a good cook mind but does the 'recipe' call for distilled or deionised water. She'll need only a small amount, where best to purchased said stuff?

Deionised water every time but not in my tipple?

Deionised water available from Tesco at about £1.50 for 2.5l or Lidl Portugal at about £0.60 for 6.0l.  Rip off Britain is alive and well .  

PS If you need 6.0l or even 2.5l I suspect there may be something wrong with the battery .

Just another quick update having been out a couple of times and then back in storage for more than a fortnight off charge and no solar I've just tested battery. It's reading 13.4 volts. It seems to have improved with use and care, is that possible?

I reckon it's probably pretty good then and may last another 4 years given that extra TLC.

Thanks for the advice, support and tips.w

It's looking good as I thought it would , but don't leave it too long between charges and do now give it another full session (cycle) with a smart charger.  Alternatively £2k - £3k will get you an Li setup .

Thanks DD, will do, we've learnt our lesson and hopefully this thread provides info. for others.

P.S. Are you still looking for someone to nominate you?😉

Treat it well and it will give good service.

Not really.  I started doing public service in the early 80's and have done so since then with a few breaks, but more on than off.  I think I've done my bit .  Anyway I doubt that they would want me .
