Currently have 2 x Varta LFD90 will be replacing shortly
Are these still okay or has anyone got any better recommendations?

I have had a pair of Varta LFD 90's fitted for the past 5 years and they are now starting to show their age. I have been more than happy with them, but I am going to replace with a pair of Halford's HLB 700 batteries, which are the same as Yuasa L36 EFB. More expensive but another 20 amps total and more modern technology. I have a Halford's trade card that gives me 20% off so makes them cheaper than the Varta's for me.
 
  • Nice One!

I've also been looking at what replacement leisure battery to buy, my current battery is a Lion brand (animal not lithium!) 110ah low height battery

The Varta LFD 90 is only 90ah

The HLB 7000 is only 100ah (it needs a vent tube to the outside - as do many others)

So, the question I have, is what 110ah low height battery to buy?

Have a look at Exide Marine GEL batteries, bit expensive but very good.
