I have found a Lucas 12v 110ah leisure batter on line for £87, which I think is an excellent buy.
I saw, however, this line in the spec:
Other Specifications - 500 +cycles at 70% Depth of discharge -1000CCA (Cold Marine Engine Cranking)
Am I to assume that the battery is only capable of 500 charge cycles??
Every time I plug in on site, the battery will charge automatically, and I can sometimes do this 20 times in a month when abroad.
This means it wouldn't last more than a couple of years. My current one is 5 years old, and still charges to 14.1v, and off charge delivers 12.7v for 48 hrs using only lights and water.
Thanks in advance.
