Battery: Whats the difference between 85 & 110

[Moley1]

Hi All

When we purchased our caravan we were sold an 85 battery.

As it doesn't seem to hold its charge very well after about 18 months I have been looking to purchase another. I notice there is a 110 variant. Is this a better alternative and will it be compatible?

Cheers

Dave

You should get 30% more from the bigger battery, but how are you charging it?

If you are using an on board charger you will get much more by using a stand alone charger, wait until the charging voltage is 14.8V.

This is only 1V more than the on board charger but represents a much larger charge in the battery.
