Hi all

Just got home from a cold 72 hour session and my leisure battery has finally died.

I use it to run my TV,charge my phone and top up my light. Iv had it for a while and it's been great.

I was looking to replace it with another leisure battery which is 70Ah but just seen the fox halo 96k.
The info for it states 96000mAh.

Am I right in thinking that's 96Ah ?

Thanks, Chris

It is 96 Ah but only at 3.2 volts.
At 12 volts it's 26Ah if you want to compare that to your leisure battery.
If you ever need to compare stored power ( more correctly stored energy) calculate it in watt hours so volts x Ah capacity

Excellent thank you. I'll order another leisure battery and save myself £130 🙂

Only a 26lb common. Not much water watching you can do in the dark!

Well when you take a 11 year old autistic child they need something to help them handle the dark. Shouldn't have to ****ing explain myself,asked for help and get ****ty comments.

If people have no positive input they shouldn't bother saying anything.

100% agree
no need for pathetic childish comments from ****ing idiots all these soppy little ****s probably dont even go in these harsh conditions they THINK it makes themselves look clever but in reality just shows their stupidity

point of interest the English 50 in my profile picture was caught in freezing conditions I was sitting in my bivvy watching a dvd on my portable player when the bite came right bait in the right place at the right time you dont need to stare out in the dark like a loony

Not intending to cause offence. Just a reference to a Mark Pitchers video.

Leisure battery sounds best in your scenario then and cheaper.

To extend your batteries life try not to discharge it much past 50 % capacity too often.
An AGM ( absorbent glass mat) deep cycle battery will survive deep discharges better and spill proof but more expensive. Worth a look perhaps.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
