Lead acid.

Thanks for quick reply, Any good?, just considering replacement as they are 7 years old, and have dropped into the red zone a few times. Any suggestions gratefully accepted.

Yuasa are a good quality battery as proven by you getting 7 years out of it.
If yours is still holding up and supplying what you need, then is it time to change.
Plenty of choice if you want to replace and plenty of views on which is the best battery, I'm in it for the long term so have been running Lithium for the past couple of years or so.

As above.

Search Tayna batteries - they are very popular with our members.
I would fit the biggest battery that will fit the space/footprint

You don't often see the standing voltage when in use so the charts aren't helpful. A good battery monitor is the way to go.

It's usually recommended to not let standard flooded lead-acids go below 50% in normal use. Gels and AGM can go lower, down to around 20%. Just as important, they all need to be fully charged to 100% regularly, maybe every couple of weeks at least.
