think its 75ah 12v just about finishing charge,

my van batt died on the road the other day got recovery to start me but now its gone at home havnt got home start do you think my lesuire bat will start the van?

[Pope vader]

should, do,

[Spruce]

A leisure battery isn't designed to take the current draw a starter motor requires. You will probably wreck it. So that will mean to batteries you will have to replace rather than just the one.

Go and try it. Let us know.

[gto]

it will be fine, one of my cars had a leisure battery in when i bought it. and it worked fine while i had the car

[Crystal-clear]

everyone says go for it but spruce all i need to do is start it once? other option is to refill the van bat with pure water then start it?

i dont wana damage my window cleaning batt are you sure it will damage it if i try it just once?

I have done this off my 85ah battery to Boxer van battery ... no problems

I've jumped mine a couple of times. no problem for me, I have 110 amp leisure, jumping a 1.9 tdi engine. wouldn't like to do regular as leisure not designed for that kind of draw as mentioned. but once a blue moon should b fine I would have thought.

Thanks for the advice indeed a friend of mine confirmed that one shot from my starter moter wont do no harm

in the end thou spruces words of worry made sence, it turned out i needed a new battery no point risking my Lesuire to get about, got it all sorted in the end , almost new 400a bat in my combo now £20 bargin!, back in business for 2012 at least it didnt happen in a working week!

I once did it from a 35 amp trolley battery.  It was just the once though with no ill effect.  I left the lights on while parked and it was flattened.

i thought its a 175, but it says 400a on the top it mustnt be right?

maybe peak surge power for cranking. my car is 65amp, but also has 330. guess that's what it is.

careful with second hand batteries, cells might b gone, keep an eye, see if holds charge.
