Hi all, How long should I be charging my battery for my wfp system?
Its only lasting about 3 hours till it dies!
I use a halfords fully auto charger which takes 2 hours til it says "ready and maintaining" the battery is a lucus 85a any help much appreciated :)

leave it to charge as long as you can (overnight or all weekend)
-
I am not sure about that type of battery? but I use a 'what some folk call a leisure or caravan battery' which requires a long trickle charge, I,m sure someone will keep me right.
But I bought 2 from Pure freedom, one for a trolly and the other for the van.
I usually charge mine once per week, depending on use, and start the charge at 6pm and switch off at 6am, (roughly 12 hours)this usually lasts me all week, and sometimes into the next week.

Have just replaced my 110ah leisure battery today under warranty (thankfully it had a 3 yr guarantee). Have had it 13 months, last couple of weeks noticed that it was dying on us after about 3hours running 2 pumps. Did a simple test with a volt meter over the weekend. Fully charged it saturday read 12.8v (fully charged is anything over 12.7v), 24 hours later with no use it was reading 12.43v so had lost somewhee in the region of 20%. Battery co thought it must be a dead cell so changed it under guarantee.
