What is a leisure battery?
A leisure battery is a battery specifically used to power electrical appliances and equipment (for example, lights or a TV) in a motorhome or caravan. As these appliances place higher power demands on a battery, leisure batteries are specifically designed to withstand repeated deep discharge cycles.
It’s important to use a leisure battery, as automotive starter batteries within vehicles cannot support this type of usage, as it damages the internal components and can lead to premature failure.
