Was having a discussion with my new mate "Scottish Dave" in Portimao the other day and he was considering purchasing an Optima battery which, while being VERY expensive, would make sense for motorhomers if the company's claims are true...
With it's "Spiral" build design and glass fibre (soaked in acid) packed between the "pure" lead plates the makers claim...
...Much reduced voltage drop as it discharges enabling it to deliver full voltage well past the 50% full point of normal batteries hence meaning a 55amp battery will effectively perform the same as a 100 amp traditional leisure battery....
... no damage if left flat...
... faster charging times..
... less weight...
... longer lasting...
... etc etc etc...
Dave is thinking of trying one when he gets back to Blighty in the late spring...
Does anyone have hands on experience of these "miracle" batteries?
