When choosing your leisure battery, there are a few factors to take into consideration. The right battery for you depends on how often you use your caravan or motorhome and where you take it. At Kwik Fit, we stock Flooded and Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries. Flooded Batteries - The advantages of wet flooded batteries is that although they are less expensive than other types of batteries, they are not overly sensitive to high charging voltages if they are kept topped up with de-ionised water. If you take your caravan on short weekend breaks, a wet flooded battery will be suitable. Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) Batteries - These batteries are typically more expensive than flooded batteries. The electrolyte is held between the plates absorbed in a fine boron-silicate mat. These batteries won�t leak acid, can withstand more careless treatment and are less sensitive to overcharging since they are designed to retain vented gases. AGM batteries can also stand for 30 days in a totally discharged state and still be recharged successfully. If you take extended breaks in your caravan or motorhome and regularly spend long periods of time �off grid� away from an electrical hook up, consider an AGM leisure battery.
