Title: need a new battery voltage droping
Post by: Crystal-clear on January 08, 2013, 05:36:19 pm
Had this one for 3 years over the years i have run it less then 12v quite often so now the charge is only holding for less then a day  :o been quoted £100+ vat for a 75apm vrata from my local wfp shop,another place online can do the same battery for £80 but need to wait a few days (so far thats the best deal)

Anyone els can recomend a battery and where to get from also which one is the best one? i dont mind paying more for a better battery

Got a 125ah on ebay for £82.
Got an auto charger too-never charged it auxiliary.
Can't beat an auto charger, you'll never drain it so should give 5 years min. Got 8 out of the last one and was still going strong when I sold my old kit

Avoid Tayna Batteries is all i'd say. Dreadful customer service if something goes wrong (as it did with me and a charger I bought from them).

I'd recommend a 110ah leisure battery together with a smart charger.

Not really, there is only you and one pump working on it, so a 75ah would be fine
