75Ah is not a very powerful leisure battery, and personally I've not been that impressed with my Numax 110Ah, which is a much higher capacity. Worth factoring that in when considering a replacement (I think I may go for an Elecsol 100Ah when I replace mine, as they are said to perform better if current discharge is higher. I think all LBs are recommended to be mains charged every couple of months as the car system never really gets them fully charged or summat :roll:

75Ah is okay but limiting, if you can go for the largest one you can, as Mike says 110Ah Numax (and other brands) work well.....and fit a Bongo albeit snug..... I have a Marine/Leisure job from Wetline....this has been great for me....no issues at all with it.... it had a 2 year warranty so I will expect to replace next year ( my Fridge has been connected since January this year) as it is used a lot..... I was looking at These batteries for my replacement but will take a better look at the Autumn show at the NEC
