Why a Leisure battery?
A starter battery is designed to provide a large amount of power in a short space of time to enable starting the car, and then being quickly recharged. A leisure battery on the other hand is designed to store power and release it over a much longer period of time.
Undoubtedly you can use a starter battery for your leisure application but it is unlikely to work very well in the long term & will almost certainly fail prematurely.
The Shield Leisure and Marine range are high quality deep cycle batteries designed for use in caravans, motor homes and boats.
A varied choice of amp/hour ratings of sealed & non-sealed batteries all with convenient carrying handles provide great value for money. Impressive deep cycling capability makes them ideal for a multitude of leisure applications.
