In addition to decent brands as others have said, check on size and make sure your choice will fit into the available space. Some batteries are larger then others.What sort should I be looking at?

They seem great value, just a littleBought out last two from Tayna Batteries. Cheaper than GoOutdoors (do you still have to buy a discount card??), next day delivery, and the batteries are fine - do exactly what they should.

Cheers which Hankook tyres did you go for?Welllll.. I just took out my two 145aH batteries and fitted three 110aH ones..
Not that that helps as the reasons are boring, complex, and proly only of use to myself
Really what size you get is up to you.. I will say that like the old Yank saying of ' There is NO substitute for cubic inches' so the same goes for batteries..
What ever size you get, in a few months time you will be saying.. darn it, wish we had gone for the bigger ones !!! LOL !!!
Get deep cycle ones.. Normal ones fail really quickly as soon as they get lower than 15 to 20% of capacity
The fall off curve is really very steep
The name given 'normal' batteries is 'cranking battery'
They are capable of delivering massive amounts of amps but only for a limited time
Deep cycle leisure batteries cannot deliver massive amps ( the plates would almost certainly buckle and or the bus bars joining the plates may fail ) but are very good at recovering from quite deep discharges without permanent damage
In the past few years I have bought various things with the name Hankook on them]
All have been absolutely top notch and very well priced ( canna comment too much on the batteries other than to say so far they have performed really well, but they have only been fitted a couple of months so early days yet.. But the Hankook tyres I fitted to the old Miller were little short of amazing.. dug us out the quagmire more often called Newark show ground, kept us absolutely on track in the snows of northern Spain, and were whisper quiet compared to the old school Michelin Campers I took off )
I noticed that, totaly useless as a leisure battery, I also notice they are rated by the NCC, they rate Banner batteries and we all know what rubbish they are.70 cycles to 50%, not good.

I had two fail after 18 months neither Hymer or Banner would honor the warranty as they passed a CAA test which is a test for starter batteries meaningless for a leisure battery.We only stock Banner and have had no problems with them over a number of years

A Varta AGM, see if you can get your dealer to swap it for a Gel.2 X Duracell in current van, not sure what Hymer will place in new one
