Message of the moment: "Thanks ..., Great
service I will keep you as one of my favourites". ED.
Important Information & News:
a) Squadron
themselves are no longer with us but many of the original
Energy batteries are now available through another
supplier and are now
branded 'Platinum' in either Marine or Leisure versions
(almost identical batteries, different sticker!). b) Under new EU directives
calling for tighter testing some batteries are being re-rated, we are in
the midst of that process so for example identical batteries may
be labelled 75 Ahr or 85 AHr or maybe 110 or 96 Ahr but
they are actually the same battery!
At the
moment we
have two ranges on offer, the top section is the Platinum range as
replacements for Squadron Energy
but we've also added the Lucas / Numax range in the lower section, many
of these are now in stock and we can get the rest to order in about 7-10 days. These
excellent units are
mostly branded or Lucas but sometimes Numax.
Platinum info: Fulfilling the needs of every Boat and Leisure
enthusiast. Platinum batteries are the creation of a globally sourced
product range, which combines leading technology, proven reliability and
genuine consumer value.
The Platinum Lifestyle is a Lead-acid battery
range with the following benefits: • Envelope and Fibre Glass separation
for longer life • Thick Grid Technology for Greater Capacity and Deep
cycle durability • Central Degassing Channels in FLA (see below
for sealed SFL), all gasses through a single point to be safely
exhausted through the Caravan or Boat • Magic Eye For instant
charge and electrolyte condition • Carry handle to enable easy and
safe handling when transporting to and from application • Powerful Cold
Cranking Durability for Boat Engine starts and Caravan Motor-mover
Parking systems • Fast charge capability, less charging more relaxing.
And for the sealed versions (SFL e.g.): The Lifestyle range also
includes sealed batteries with the durability and strengths of Lead Acid
whilst still maintaining that competitive edge for every Boat and
Leisure Enthusiast: • Sealed Battery a Spill proof range • More user
friendly and safer for the environment •
Automatic safety venting with no water loss • Flame Arresters
preventing any chance of explosion • Dual Post securing a positive
and safe fit for multiple connections • Longer Lasting and Maintenance
Free • Fast charge capability, less charging more relaxing.
• 2 year warranty.
A word of caution: Because
leisure batteries situated in the living areas of motorhomes are in an enclosed space, and because
under some circumstances escaping charge gasses can explode, all camper
batteries should be totally sealed or vented to the outside or have
special flame arresting vents.
This
is one of the reasons that GEL are favoured by manufacturers because
most are properly and totally sealed - as also are our AGM range below.
Unfortunately the term 'sealed' doesn't always mean what we think it
means, persistent enquiries about several budget 'sealed' batteries on
the internet produced responses along the lines of "Thank you for your
enquiry. It is sealed only in the sense that the battery cannot be
topped up ... this battery must be fitted in a vented space". This is
also true of our budget Squadron/Platinum SFL range which are only 'sealed' in
the maintenance sense. For extra safety our new Platinum SFLs are sealed
with flame-arrester
valves. Anyway - do beware when purchasing, not everyone
really knows what their 'sealed' means but we do and we're
honest about it too!
In summary our cheaper SFL range are
not fully sealed but our AGM And GEL ranges are - you can even use then
on their sides! Platinum SFL is not totally sealed but does have
flame-arresting valves.

Battery Selection: These guides are from one of our earlier
ranges but illustrate the different characteristics of the different
battery types. The latest batteries may have a slightly different set of
figures (usually improved) but all the general trends are the same.


Carriage: There are special carriage arrangements for lead-acid batteries
which are delivered via a specialist carrier / insurance, so do please note the
higher carriage charges on these items - £20 per delivery even of
multiple batteries. It actually
costs us more than this but we are pleased to subsidise this to help out!
Saving on carriage: Save on multiples! For orders of
multiples of the same battery the site will only charge a single
standard £20 'battery carriage'. If you order mixed types - which is
unusual - the site may automatically charge £20 for each type but we
promise to promptly refund any excess to you. On these mixed orders you can
for a deal If you prefer. Why not team up with friends to save money here? -
All must be delivered to the same address of course to qualify for the
delivery savings.
