The price is certainly good and the warranty is about right.

We also have a Numax which is 3 years old and have had no problems to date.

I recently bought the 110 Diamond leisure from Broad Lane Caravans, it was their cheaper option and more than these are selling for. It's too early to tell how good the battery is but B.L. usually sell decent stock.

Trouble is with buying batteries mail order is cost of sending them back if you have warranty issues. I would read the T&Cs of site linked to. Better to buy batteries locally imho.

I, like Charlie earlier, used Alpha. they had the best price for a 110A battery and, bearing in mind what Tentz said re; mail order, I would recommend going there.

First I would check whether you need to upgrade at all.

The motor mover does not need a 110ah mover. Its a belt and braces job.

If you are planning a weekend away without EHU and you really need the mover to get up the steep drive, then a 110ah battery would be essential. Otherwise stick with what you have, a smaller battery is much lighter.

I too have bought one from this company (95AH at £59.99) and find the low height very useful as you can connect the battery whilst it is still in the battery box on our unit. Was delivered next day no probs.

We have bought from these people and as we don't live that far away went to pick it up. No problems at all, nice people. We've had it for two years now and its fine.
