Does anyone have one of these batteries in their battery box - "Elecsol 125 
Carbon Fibre Leisure Battery 12 Volt 125Ah" ?

Over priced
Over rated
Don't perform to what they state
Don't have any warranty claims according to Elecsol, but customers do
Don't have any customer service

"Yep" only mine is (was) the 80 amp model 5 year warranty job.
As soon as the warranty period was up, so was the battery.
Got in touch with 'Elecsol' who said, ......... "Well 5 years IS a good time
and they refused to do anything, not even offered a discount for another.
So, my advice is, don't spend that kind of money on one, it ain't worth the 
extra.
Ps.
Just thought I'd mention that the one before the Elecsol was a cheapy and it 
lasted 8 years.

Regards.
Mike.

Talking of batteries , I've just bought a new 110 amp leisure battery  , it's got 
a 2 year GTTE just over £50.00

A couple of days after I was in Halfords , their 110 amp leisure battery was 
£135.00 with a 3 year GTTE

Now the next is a charger , what charger do I need ??

DieSea

Where did you get the £50 110 amp one from then?

I'll have a look out for the one I use, it's like one of the Optimax 
ones. Just been out to the 'van, it's a Ring RSC4.

Keeps the leisure battery topped up all winter, I just leave it on in 
the 'van. It switches itself on and off when needed.

Sorry KHBlue, can't comment on that make as I have never used them.

Hi again KHBlue.
Just after I sent the last reply my 'CC' mag came through the door and low & 
behold the first page after opening was an advert for leisure batteries.
Here's the link if it's any use.
All the best.
Mike.

Good for you, sounds like you got a good deal, far better than I did with 
the Elecsol.
Good luck with it.
Excuse delay in responding, .......... been up to Bonnie Scotland for a 
break.

Regards.
Mike.
