It's time to replace our Leisure Battery ? 100 Ah minus as we use our Mover regularly. Several different types available now I believe ? Advices invited thank you.

My Numax 130 AH , my second, is still going well after 5 years

There are a few things that will determine which mover would suit. Actuation, caravan weight, axles, budget etc.

This link may help a little.

How much do you actually use your motor mover?

A motor doesn't really take much out of a battery. The manual for mine says average current is 20 amps, so taking a 100 AH battery from full to 50% charge would mean using it constantly for 2.5 hours.

Sorry, I can't recommend a battery. I've been using an old 80Ah car battery (that I happened to have sitting in the garage for over a year) without issue. I don't go 'off grid' and use my motor mover for maybe 5 minutes to hitch up at home then however long it takes me to pitch up on arrival at site.

The OP is seeking advice on a replacement battery not mover, but the links are useful anyway.

Our last battery, a NUMAX 110AH lasted just over 8 years. Vast majority during off-grid trips.
Currently using an X-PRO 110AH. Made by same company as makes the NUMAX but a cheaper version.

It may be useful to know the make model and year of theTerry’s caravan.Latest Caravans rely heavily on 12v so that should have a bearing on the final choice

I bought mine from Tayna too - a 110ah one as the caravan apparently can't have a bigger one than that.
I've been using Tayna for years for batteries.
