Spoke with a nice man about 85Ah fuller leisure batter (ref: 685) (£40) 2yr guarantee

Dimensions are 272x175x225 so it will just fit nicely in the box under a T3 seat

He also reccomended the selmar guard leisure charger (£45) which he said will charge the battery and switch itself off when done. He told me most of the damaged leisure batteries he gets back are due to people charging them overnight on bog standard chargers.

Any views, battery seems like a good price
