Problem solved. It needed a new battery. Bought the Hankook 110ah. We have two solar panels so they will trickle charge and we’ll charge with electricity too quite often.

Thank you for your help.

Hi Path20

You've made a good choice. I purchased the same battery last March (from battery megastore) no issues, holds charge well and powers my mover well.

Like Tango, I too have a 100 Ah battery that is ample for motor mover use. In fact most movers are recommended to use 85 Ah batteries now, which would also deliver a weight saving.

Hi
I have a lucas 120amp battery and is 6 years old.
Used on last 2 vans with motor mover never had a problem.
Now on my tractor lol, as it would not fit under the floor on the new bailey caravan.
Still good and starts up each time.
New Battery was £110.00 and 110amp now under the floor of my van.

Cheers
