Batteries

[Wabs]

Hi all , advice needed please,,one of my leisure batts and died,,is it best to replace both or can I get away with just the one? Help always loved,,cheers,

Most likely both but how old is/was the duff one and is the remaining one the same age.

They are both the same,so, I was thinking to replace them both at the same time,,so thanks for confirming my thoughts

Although it's not strictly necessary, if one goes down the other can't be far away. Replacing the duff battery will just impact on the new one when it's twin expires. Change them both for a matched pair.

Have just had the same experience myself, just as we were getting ready to go to Thetford. Swapped things around and managed happily on just the one for the weekend - luckily very sunny so the solar helped. As soon as I got back I ordered a pair of replacements which are now fitted and just finished charging them up. (And before anyone asks I just used lead/acid - I've always been happy with them, they're looked after and easily last their expected life. I really cannot be bothered with lithiums and all the associated paraphernalia).
