We have a powertouch mover and use a Numax 85ah with no problems, but use sites with EHU's.

However if you plan to use the mover and use sites with no EHU then a 110ah would probably suit you better.

Hope this is some help.

Definitely go for the 110amp battery.

Why?

Apparently a motor mover will run for about 90 minutes using a 110ah battery. Unless you plan on staying off EHU or fancy doing caravan races round the campsite using the motor mover, a smaller battery should suffice.

110 amp is what I have on mine.

Yes it can move a lot, but as soon as you are moving van around on an inclined area, you will find a faster drain on the battery.

Also if your not on a EHU on your break, you may find that although its not flat, there may not be enough juice to get mover moving, Which is the last thing you want to happen if you need the mover to get the van away when you get back, which is when you are knackered the most.

How long should a 110 battery last.We went away for the weekend without EHU.We arrived Friday night set up went to bed.Sat we were out till 3pm,Sunday evening the battery was nearly DEADWe think we had a problem with the water pump,it was on all the time.Have been told this is proberbly down to pressure.But out of interest without the problem how long will a 110 battery last?

In 17 years of caravanning I've only ever had a flat battery once, and that was because I didn't charge it after a 4 month lay up. Never used EHU till 6 years ago and we used to go away for a fortnight at a time in the summer with just an 85 aph battery. But then we didn't watch telly, that uses a lot of power.

I have a hitch mover which I use sometimes and there's always been plenty of juice to work it, even after a weekend without EHU. The battery compartment in my van only just fits an 85 aph one in, so I couldn't get a 110 aph if I wanted to.

I did get a 110 aph for one van because I had a Rhyno mover fitted and they recommended a larger battery.
