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 Lucas XV Supreme Battery Examplebranded '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. Squadron Energy - no longer availableThis 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.

Battery Selection Guide

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.
