Boughg two new 135amp leisure batteries at Xmas. They are Banner batteries and come with a 3 yr guarantee. Reading the small print, it also says a cycle life of between 400-500 times.
We live full time in the van.
Question- when on electric hook up, am I better off leaving the batteries on a continuous charge via the MPPT solar set up and the original Autotrail mains charger. It is a modern Autotrail with a 3 stage charger.
My thoughts are to leave it on continuous charge (13.6v) most of the time, and only 'use' the batteries when off grid, thus saving the number of recycles.
The thoughts of the experts are sought.
Thanks I advance
