All i can say is we bought cheap a 100ah Powerline 5 years ago and its still holding 12.6v think it cost around £80 at the time delivered the next day..

I have a skoda Yeti 2L 4X4, and its brilliant, you hardly know the van is on there> over 50mpg, 30+mpg towing a 1200kg van. think it will tow up to 2000kg on the specs but 1300kg will give 85% of the curb weight with a max 80kg nose weight..
