Does anyone know which sort of battery to use, I have had car batteries for the past two years, but now they just won't hold a charge nomatter what. some one said that a Leisure battery should be used , because they're made to put out a lower or more constent charge ,rather than a car one which is designed for a bigger burst to start the car, is any of this making any sence to anyone.

? Help

What you have been told is exactly correct.

That the leisure battery is the one to use, But that was only from one person, nobody else I have tried seems to know for sure,

I use a leisure battery with no problems. I do find it need to be recharged more often in the cold weather. Battery manufacturers rub their hands with glee when the temperature drops below freezing as that's when old batteries are gonna give up the ghost :blink:

I use leisure batteries in connection with my other hobby of amateur radio, this as mentioned in a previous post, does not take a very high current like starting an engine.

I got two 110 Ah batteries for a good price off ebay. That's quite some capacity.

Have a search!

A car battery is designed to turn over a huge lump of car engine by giving one huge "oomph" at a time. A leisure battery is designed to give off a "trickle" of electricity through a thin wire, it is the correct one to use.

Come and see me at work and I'll show you round the setups.

You need whats called a deep cycle battery ie a battery that will be happy to discharged and re-charged. Most leasure batteries are ideal or if your feeling flush

As you say, feeling flush! Leisure batteries aren't that much.
