leisure batteries (1 Viewer)

[TheBig1]

I have just upgraded the battery bank on my van, so have yjose removed for sale. Nothing wrong with them, we just needed more power so fitted two 225amp hour batteries

the batteries available are
2 x Banner energy bull 190ah

please bear in mind that these batteries are very big and weigh 55kg each

because of the size and weight, these must be collection only from near Bournemouth

need to get them out of the way, so bargain price of £50 each

How old are they ?

I bought the van second hand so no idea on age, but they are holding charge well and run the big inverter. I only changed them because i wanted even more capacity to run medical equipment on green field meets

dimensions are 27cm wide 24cm high and 51cm long

I do believe there is one or more Funsters on here who says Banner batteries are useless, and should be avoided, orr words to that effect.!

Can you show me where this is stated in Jim'S rules! I am quoting information posted by other funsters. I wonder if your post has anything to do with the fact you are a trader ?

A recent quote made by a member on Banner batteries.

PhilandMena, If you are right, the huge Hymer group have made a big mistake this year ditching the fitment of Banner batteries in favour of Varta? I am pretty sure it is to do with the huge number of premature failures?

I think if you look around the Forums you will see that not many hold the Banner in as high regard as the very impressive advertising tries to make us believe? None more so than the German forums.

I remember reading an advert in MMM last year that stated, and I quote, "Banner Batteries are the best in the World". It wasn't backed up by any claim it had special technology inside or anything at all of substance. Just pure Bull*&£@.
Just conning people, and many were taken in. That on it's own tells you a lot about the advertising that went on. It wasn't advertising by Banner but by one of the biggest Banner retailers in the UK.
You can maybe tell that wound me up a little?

If Northstar made the claim about it's Pure Lead technology battery, it might be quite hard to contest, but the Banners we have cut open were spectacular for their absence of any features!!


Anyone out there who does believe they are the best in the World, could maybe post on here all the special technology inside the battery that makes it so?


Pretty unlikely, IMO, that a company ranked at only sixth biggest, is better than Yuasa, Exide or Varta, etc? I would rate the Banner batteries we have seen in 'the metal' as a long way even behind the tiny Victron Energy company, whose batteries we do rate.

Sorry, but I think the reputation is a fraud, built up out of advertising by one major retailer.
Who had even heard of Banner batteries 7 years ago?
Where has the reputation come from?
How many indepently verified Technical tests have you seen that rate the Banner above all other batteries around?
We are not aware of a single independent test of any substance.


It's funny, I have vague recollections of something similar happening with Elecsol Batteries around 8 years ago.

these are a different beast to the smaller leisure batteries

A very unhelpful post indeed, doing nothing but spoiling another Funsters ad and, incidentally, I am not a trader.

I have had Banner agm batteries for many years and, frankly, wouldn't have anything else. I have found them to be brilliant.
