I don't have a tourer but I have a static which is on a site has no mains electric. There are only 20 caravans on this site and everyone uses a generator. However, I have been using a car battery with an invertor to power the tv on a night and I was looking at leisure batteries. Whats all this '120' life cycles, '500 life cycles'. Is this the amount of time it can be left to run flat and then re-charged? I only power a portable tv.

Anyone know what type of battery I should get for this. Like I say, it will only be used to power a portable and perhaps re-charge my laptop.

hi hamster

dont know a great deal about 120 life etc but a leisure battery will last longer than a car battery although u will need to keep it charged as much as possible if u dont use it for a while take it home and bench charge it for about 4 or 5 days they take longer to charge than a car battery also dont leave it on a concrete floor put it on a bench or carpet as it will earth on a concrete floor and discharge very quickly sorry cant help no more
