Where can you get a truly deep discharge 110AH battery for £65?


Yes, I was wondering that too! :-)

Something over £100 is nearer the mark for such a battery and the
really posh ones can be considerably more than that.

I bought three Leoch 12 volt 100Ah deep cycle batteries a bit over
a year ago and they were £109 each. I felt that was a very good price
too.


My thoughts. Bill mentioned a 110AH battery which would have a price
premium.

Many mobility suppliers will only supply VAT free batteries if they fit
them as well. They claim it's HMRC's rules!
