We had the same problem when we had our mover fitted-most disappointing.We had to get a 100 Amp battery because our battery compartment was too small for a 110 Amp.We paid about £70 for a battery from our local  car battery dealer who was very helpful. 

Once you are up and running,you will wonder how you managed before.

Enjoy

I'm a bit disappointed. The much proclaimed Powrtouch motor mover was fitted tonight. How is it you may ask? I don't know!!!! The caravan battery turned out to be cream-crackered. Don't laugh after all that I've posted about this.

I had had my suspicions about the battery but my 'van dealer checked it at the last service and said it was okay. I put it on charge yesterday just to be on the safeside. 12.6 volts showing this morning but by the time the P/T fitter had finished at 5.00pm it was down to 3 volts so obviously not holding its charge.

I hurried off to Halfords as one of the few places still open. An unbelievable £139.99 for a 110 amp leisure battery. NO THANKS.

Anybody got any recommendations for reliable makes and suppliers of 110 Amp leisure batteries at a more reasonable price please.

I'm a bit disappointed that I can't play with my new toy!!!

I myself would have slipped the car's battery into the caravan so that he could at least test it before he went.
