Leisure Battery

Post by **JW1** » 13 Jul 2009, 22:12

Looking to get a good quality leisure battery for T25 Vanagon Westfalia. Which one should I get (where from, price?) to fit correctly and will last the longest?

If you are wanting it to fit underneath the passengers seat similar to the main battery on a petrol T25 then the one you need to ask for is an 085 which relates to the overall size (W/L +H) and its Amph rating.....If it is going to live some where other than under the seat then go for the biggest you can afford.... most accessory shops have these and they can also be found in the larger supermarkets/B+Q etc etc.......

I have a 1.6 TD so have two spare slots behind the seats. What is the maximum measurements I should go for to enable the battery to fit? Where do i get the 085 battery then you are talking about?

apparently halfords have a good discount on batteries if you know someone with a trade card

But they dont do a leisure one that fits the westy battery box

I am still after finding the right battery if you have any ideas where I can get, which one will fit and how much they are?

Try using google for 085 battery! You have been told which one fits (and given links)!
Do you want us to go and get it for you?
