110 ah battery

Hi all,

Anyone got any knowledge about Elecsol batteries? I need a good one as I spend a lot of time on non hook-up sites, using solar panels. The last time that I used this type, it was a good performer, with a 5 year warranty, but when, after 4.5 years, I suspected a problem, the supplying dealer said they no longer used this make because of poor back - up.

I had the impression that the same casing is used for different capacities, but there is a big change in weight when the casing changes. Had the unit about 3yrs now and no problems
 
We bought our battery after reading up on how they work and what can go wrong. Most have a clause which can get them out of a giving you a replacement for a number of reasons. So we bought one locally from a large supplier who also do sealed and gel type batteries. Now they do offer a guarentee of 2 years on the normal leisure versions and 3 yrs on the sealed and finally 4 years on the Gel filled versions. But the price went from
