Can you tell i went to the Stratford meet.
Ok... My Shiney gold Burstner, new to me May 2019 but original 2014 model, has 2 x LFD90 Varta leisure batteries.
Working fine but after trying to establish if these are original, so could be 6 years old+ or replaced at some point has been difficult.
All the info on the internet does not seem to match anything on the batteries, I emailed Varta but no reply.
Companies like Tanya batteries also no help.
ANYWAY... The EBL220 unit i have supports GEL batteries and i understand Gel will go down to a lower discharge level.
If i decide to replace the batteries what are people thoughts on GEL... Good / bad / not worth the bother etc..
Got 200w of solar, adequate for us at present.
