leisure battery

[doug harding]

looking for leisure battery on my carthago143le. shown on manual but not found!
tyre pressures seem to be a minefield. ranging from 3.5bar front 4.0bar rear to 5.5bar front and rear!
consensus seems to be put it on the weighbridge. assuming gross weight is 3.5 tonnes surely someone knows.
every tyre firm i ask has a different opinion. michelin aegilis ( spelling Timothy) 225 75 cp 116q 16 inch wheels.
also need a spare if any going.
cheers all Doug.

I've got an 80Ah Exide Gel from my 138 sitting in my garage having replaced with Lithiums. Drops 0.25v from 12.95v in twelve months, so excellent nick. PM me if you are interested.

cyberyacht. sorry my thread was not clear. i have a supposed lithium leisure battery in the van somewhere, its just not clear to me where! i wonder if its in-built in the storage area. the manual gives its position as rear of hab. door, but not found. thanks for you're reply.
Doug.

Are looking to buy a leisure battery or find the one you have ? Under the cab seats is a favourite place to hide them.
Tyre pressures, well Michelin will tell you 80psi but that gives a very harsh ride. I swopped from agilis to van tyres and run 60pdi on the front and 70psi on rears, this is on a Hymer.
Spare tyres often crop up in classified section so it's worth keeping an eye on thete

thanks for that Figaro. the vehicle battery is in footwell. leisure battery unsure. will up the tyres gradually and see what seems best. i assume they should be fairly high. the valves are steel framed. thanks for reply.
