Is there anyone out there with a leisure battery that fits under the passenger seat. If so can you tell me what type it is or is there any numbers or codes on it.

Local caravan bloke says he can probably get one for me but he needs a number or code as a starting point.


And before you all say it i know many of you just use an engine battery and they last quite a long time Etc etc etc

a while ago i was told that this leisure battery that fits
Exide battery No. PP75 or D15Q23.

Dimensions, 275 wide x 175 deep x 190 hgh.

cant say if it does from personal experiance tho, BUT talk to Hershamboy Dave

100VSE - Exide classic

N.B. they are not strictly leisure batteries, but high capacity batteries that should be hopefully able to stand a bit of deep cycling.

The Solent one has alkaline electrolyte, and say it can withstand regular deep cycling - has anyone used these?

Hershamboy - do you have the dimensions of the Bush battery, and is it a real leisure battery or a high capacity starter?

(Van projects have been put on hold for a few months due to wedding, so I haven't bought one of these yet...)
