Picked the brains of an auto-electrician last week, as I have been through a lot of batteries, and he reckons todays leisure batteries are not up to what we do.
He suggested gel batteries are the way to go, so I am going to try them next.

gel batteries are leisure batteries, they are normally classed as ultra deep cycle.
have a look www.battery megastore.co.uk and close up the letters

A guy I know who supplies and fits batteries told me the leisure ones would be no use as I use a split charger and leisure batteries are designed to be used till flat or almost flat and then recharged. Tld me best would be a car battery as they are designed to be charged continuously from the alternator and would therefore last longer.

leisure batteries are normally not designed to go below 20% charge - I don't know where your mate got his info from but it aint right.
Jeff is the man to ask about batteries
