leisure battery

[gdallas]

Hi there.

I’m after anew leisure battery for my caravan, I’m stuck between going for the alphline XV, or the alpha line DC. the cost isn’t a concern, i would like a fairly large capacity, possibly this 125Ah as im heading up north soon to a site with no hook up.

Im going on the basis that the more expensive one is better or more suited to my needs, but i know that isn’t always the case. So should i go for the DC 31 or the XV 31 aplhaline?

If cost is not a concern? Have a look at an Elecsol 125, they are lighter and smaller as some 125 amp batteries wont fit in the battery box.5 year warrenty too?
Some reports say dealing direct with Elecsol can be an issue (slow to respond etc) and problems exchanging if they have an issue in the 5 years.
Deal with a reseller then the contract is with them, i have had a 110 for 7 years which i use as a back up,run a 125 now
