If you use a motor mover you best buying a bigger battery, a 100 or 110ah, think most motor mover manufacturers recommend them. You will need to check the dimensions though make sure it will fit. Plus theyre only a bit more expensive so best to be safe than sorry! lol

Hope this helps.

85AH is fine for a powrtouch mover but as above most others state they require a min of 110ah

I read it does not sound very good size wise. But then when I got ours for the old duff caravan last year it was a Numax but the the duff van went got the fc and through lack of knowledge dried two cells and could not take any charge to get back. That fiited fine. When we had to get another this year at East Runton Caravan shop we got an 85amp but it has proven to be extremely tight in the batt. compartment. When we got the Rhyno mover fitted  and they gave us the red key Bob had to cut & file one side of the top off so it would even go into the compartment with the battery. Very Very tight.

It was Ratty that gave me the link to the ebay shop last year but when I checked through my feedbacks Iit said 75amp but it definitely was 85amp. it fitted okay but I cannot find the same battery being sold their  anymore.

Hi.This is the only one I can find its the same size as ours but I wonder how long these are going to be available.They are more than likely refurbished batteries with a new sticker on but I dont think that I will have much choice in the matter only to buy one of these.I am going to phone Pennine tommorow to ask if they changed the size of the compartments Cheers.Alex

We have the Humax 85 amp,we got it from Go outdoores when they were on offer about £40 last year.It is just the job for our 2 birth caravan with motor mover and a full charge easily moves caravan where we want it.
All the best
