Err................. one that is less than 31cm long and low enough to fit under the bonnet? :wink:


Seriously you will have to go somewhere that has some in stock and see which one fits.
If it is a "Willinton" tray that will be a 110amp Numax.

yep Wetline Brand...... Marine/Leisure 110Ah...... for me too....again a Willinton Tray....2nd season.....has 3 year g'tee so I expect to change after next season.......my Fridge has been running constant since January.....battery still fine using the Willinton daily and a quick Aldi Battery charger for monthly top ups

MMM did a recent test on Leisure batteries (they even cut them up) One so called Premium make with a long guarantee...... 100 Ah only battery was found to hold only 54 Ah... [-X [-X

The best brand they found was the Banner Energy Bull...... 110Ah put out 122Ah.... =D> =D> Some of the batteries had filler sections to fill out the cell chambers.... [-X [-X
I guess some of the well known brands like Banner/Numax/Wetline etc are the best to go for

It suggests here http://www.leisurebatteryshop.co.uk/Num ... -Batteries that Numax have replaced the 110AmpHr battery with a 95 AmpHr battery, and it doesn't appear on the Numax brochers at all http://www.manbat.co.uk/cm/files/assets ... isure2.pdf

If the battery tray is metal then a 110 wont fit unless you alter the tray slightly,(i think you have to bend the lip of the tray flat)
If it looks like a plastic/fibreglass battery tray then the 110 will fit (but its a bit snug) mine is a 110 Bosch battery.
