Squadron Energy batteries:  NB New Specs 2008: Now established as one of our best selling lines - a broad range of sealed and high performance leisure batteries offering exceptional value. The well established Squadron Energy brand is especially designed for marine and recreational use and even though their reputation is mostly in the marine market they picture a motorcaravan on their brochure so they are serious about motorhomes. The three battery types offered here give a superb choice of size, performance, cost, and warranty to suit your own needs and pocket (advice offered if required too!). All are sealed and maintenance free lead acid units ideal for motorhome leisure use and without the worry of special venting for the 'totally sealed' AGMs & GELs.  Buy >>>

Series 4 GEL range feature glass mat technology with GEL electrolyte and thicker plates. This is claimed to give high cyclic and shelf life and deeper discharge capability - typically with 8-10 years service life. Complete with carrying handles and 4 year warranty. Note that GEL batteries require a lower voltage charging regime - please be sure your motorhome can provide this (switchable on our Hymer unit). "Totally Sealed" and can even be used on their side - which can be very handy where space is severely limited!

Series 3 AGM range features glass mat technology resulting in high cyclic life and deeper discharge capability - they typically offer 5-8 years service. Complete with carrying handles and 3 year warranty. Especially recommended for general boat caravan and motorhome use. NB: must be charged using a low 13.6v for the 3rd or final stage, advanced chargers do this but simple ones may not - if in doubt charge as GEL.  These are "Totally Sealed" and can even be used on their side, which can be very handy indeed when space is severely limited! Our 'best buy'.

Series 2 SFL range features dual terminals - with both stud & tapered posts which is very handy for connecting multiple leisure wiring. This range also has the 'magic eye' charge indicator and of course that 'sealed for life' and maintenance free construction. Complete with carrying handle and 2 year warranty. Please note the 'sealed' here refers to topping up in normal use, these batteries are actually only leak resistant and not 'totally sealed' as the AGMs and GELs are. Other web sites and the manufacturer's brochure imply rather more - but please note you have been warned!!

This brochure also indicates terminal layout. For info: The capacity of each battery is quoted in Amp Hours based on the C20 5% test and its 'starting' performance is quoted as Cold Cranking Amps - the best indicator since this is at sub zero temperature.

Carriage: There are special carriage arrangements for lead-acid batteries which are delivered via a specialist carrier, so do please note the higher carriage charges on these items - £20 per delivery. It actually costs us more than this but we don't feel we can charge you any more!  NB: PayPal have an occasional problem where some special carriage items have an extra amount added at the checkout stage, usually 3.95. They are working to resolve this but if this does happen to you - we promise to refund the extra charge!

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.  Buy Now >>>
