Semi traction wet lead acid batteries?
Posted: 30 Aug 2020, 08:46
Morning all, we are planning on upgrading our leisure battery in our van when we redo our interior later this year. Currently we have a smaller battery in the engine bay but the voltage drops to 12.1v over night when running the propex and then the low voltage disconnect cuts in.
I will be moving the battery location to inside the van and into that awkward space to the side of the rock and roll bed along the side of the kitchen units. Should be plenty of space there and I can fit any size battery I’d like (or two in parallel). Just browsing online and I found this beast:

However it suggests that a “Semi traction wet lead acid battery” is more suited for wild camping (which is often what we end up doing).
Any thoughts? Isn’t 250ah the same regardless?
