How long do batterys last as i charged on a fast charge last night so that i could bring extension lead in before going to bed, it said full charged, started work at 9 all weel, then got to town house at 12 and the pressure is low by the time i get to bottom windows it was just trickling out, shall i just give it a long slow charge till tomorrow morning,

Put a split charge system on its a lot less hassle,you can get them from ebay around £39.99 item no 280280794896 easy to fit. ;D

Yer im going to do that as i hate charging the thing,but that doesnt stop the battery from having fault

a fast charge is no good for a leisure battery, a slow charge overnight, every night will keep it in good nick.
don't let them discharge to beow 20% , other wise you will pemanatly damage it, reducing capacity.
my 75 ah battery is nearly 2 yrs old now, used every day, and still lasts a good long day.

What charger are you using Jaykie?
I was having trouble with my battery not lasting very long (1/2 a day), bought a new one and the same happened to this after a month or so. Went and bought a posh battery charger from Halfords £39 and hey presto the Batteries are now lasting up to 2 days. So the cheap bog standard charger I was using wasn't doing to job properly. This New one states it will work on all batteries.
I now alternate between the two Batteries one in the van and one on charge swap over everyday. Not sure if a Split relay would be good enough for me has I dont really do long Journey's.

I got it with my system from purefreedom, never had a problem before normally would last a day and a half but today wasnt good, definatly thinking of split charge relay.

My battery I got with my system from pure freedom lasted about 6 months maybe 7 at most, I know have 2 batteries in one van and a marine battery in the other

Hi guys.
Can using 2 pumps at a high flow rate damage a battery as the leisure batteries I use from halfords only seem to last for 9 months max.

I always keep a spare battery in the van and occasionally top it up on a trickle charge (3monthly). Never needed to use it but sods law the day I don't carry it I'll need it. Like to be organised and keep a spare everything (pump, pole, fuses, etc). Pre preparation prevents poor performance which was drummed into me by the army, old habit's die hard ;D

i recharge my 85 ah leisure battery once a week but is never more than half empty . the battery charger i use is a 11amp one is that too fast.
