Campervan Leisure Battery

Are you starting your campervan journey?

What is a leisure battery?

When it comes to your converted campervan, you will need a few bits of equipment in order to keep your journeys smooth and few items are as important as a leisure battery. This is how you will power the appliances and equipment inside your campervan such as your lighting, cooking appliances and television.

Why are leisure batteries important when it comes to camping?

As you're camping, there aren't always sources of power nearby - so you need to power your campervan from the inside. A 12v leisure battery keeps your power steady over a long period of time so you can avoid power failures when you're on the road or on holiday.

How do you maintain a leisure battery?

In order to maintain a leisure battery for as long as possible, it's important to make sure that you keep your battery charged as much as possible, not letting it drop below fifty percent to prevent it from becoming damaged. You should also ensure that the battery is kept clean and secure. If your leisure battery is in storage, then you should still charge it at least once every ninety days.

How do you charge a leisure battery?

Your leisure battery is easy to charge as it can be done through mains power when available. A well-charged and cared-for leisure battery should be replaced around every five years, although this can vary due to how often the battery is used.

Is there a special way to store leisure batteries?

When you disconnect your leisure battery, you should always store it in a clean, dry and warm place in order to keep it in the best possible condition.
