Yuasa batteries

[zagatoes30]

Leisure batteries are something else, for years the guys brought a car battery to Le Mans to drive the lights and the ice maker and even though we were only there 5 days they had to swap every day or so with one of the car batteries as they drained quickly. Year before last I brought the leisure battery out of the roadblock down connected it up and it ran everything for the whole time we were there, they are designed for providing lots consistent power although saying that it had to work hard when I stuck the 4 motor movers on to create a 4WD 1800kg mobile home

Did you let them go flat though? I think the issue is their ability, or lack of, to recover.

I would say that’s accurate. It’s a standard Yuasa, 097 I think. (4200)

it’s been on charge for two days and at 3 out of 5 bars.

Weird how "the same unit" might behave so differently. My Bosch S5 was so flat it would not start charging using CTEk 5.0 unit. Took a tip from here (maybe even Matt) to connect another battery in parallel to get it started. That worked a treat and the battery carried on to full charge and held it too.
