Where do you buy leisure batteries?

Arriving back at the van, a few weeks ago, to the tell tale rotten egg smell was doubly dissapointing as the batter was just one year old.

I contacted the supplier, more in hope than expectation, expecting to be fobbed off, but I was put through to their technical dept and after a few questions to establish that it has been correctly used I was told a new one would be with me the next day!

It was and this is the rview I put on Trustpilot for Alpha Batteries;

Superb Service
Contacted Alpha this week after a 12 month old leisure battery failed.
Was put through to Scott who, after asking questions to establish the fault, said he would send a replacement battery-which arrived the next day!
Superb service.

Are you sorted yet? Last piece of advice would be buy from those battery specialists mentioned. They will be dealing and storing batteries correctly. You don’t want to be buying a battery that’s been sitting around a while just waiting for you to buy it!

It is not only about size but also make sure the terminals are the ones you require to fit. Another vote for Alpha Batteries, got my last one from them. Lots of advice on their web site.

Morning

Some good advice already given.

If you always use sites with electric hook up, why not just get a battery of the correct size from somewhere like Halfords? I had a small 80ah leisure battery from the local Halfords on my caravan for 7 years with no issues.

If your van's in storage for any length of time take the battery for a charge now and again.
