Take care in choosing make. The box in my Bailey Indiana will not accept all makes of 110AHr batteries, due to variations in the height!

On advice I bought an Elecsol battery and it has been very good.

Have a look at the info online, good waranty

Agree with Clive

Elecsol 110 they are lighter and have a 5 year warranty,they replaced mine after 4 years.Expect to pay around

It may be worth checking the Elecsol thread on caravan talk

Agree with David, If I had bought the battery that I first was going to buy it would not have fitted in my compartment. Thanks to the honest sales person at the caravan dealers, he recomended that I checked the measurements before I bought it, and sure enough the battery would have never fitted.

my 2004 bailey manual states the max battery size as 90amp/h.

Still the service manager told me that a 110 would fit.And it did, just.

i only use electric hookup, never fully charge the battery, using only the van charger.

the battery cost just over
