Traction battery

Post by centro »

After some advice on here, I am considering buying a traction battery to replace my dead leisure battery. Anyone here use one? Are they worth the money and what is the best way of looking after them? Cheers

nesty has had a Trojan traction battery in for over a year now.
He used it without charging it for months on end during a tour of Scotland.
I would thoroughly recommend them if you can afford it
if you search nestys posts there is one with all the information
I am fitting mine at the end of the year.

Which one do you use? How are you charging it and how often – sorry for the interrogation! :P
