Leisure Battery and fittings

[sacramentobay]

Hey guy's and girls, I'm thinking about fitting a JK propex heater and need a leisure battery / split charger, 12v fuse box / cigarette lighter sockets etc fitting. JK sell all these bits but I wondered if anyone knows of anywhere better to get all the bits I need? Also where is the best place to get a leisure battery?.. and am I right in thinking the higher the amp hours the better?
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Forget to say 110 ah battery best bet, cheapest are on ebay generally

For when I need heating I've decided......

Either to be cold, stay in the pub as long as possible, or for the cost of cable, an in line rcd, and a USA westy plug that I'm better off with one of these.....

(A low wattage oil filled radiator)

Saves all the fuss of extra batteries with a limited life, a low output dynamo and complicated cabling. In summer I don't need to carry either the battery or heater - so stays stock

A little off topic perhaps, but same result just different approach

I've got a Yuasa 115Ah fitted. Dimensions are 350mm x 240mm x 180mm, it's a tight fit but it does go in.

Thanks for the replies guy's, certainly something to think about.

Probably not the most useful answer but batteries are the one item I get from Halfrauds, as you can walk in any branch in the UK, if they go wrong.
I usually always have electric hook up & keep a trickle charger on it.
Just my thoughts.

I agree there are loads of cheapo crap batteries out there, I went through two £50 batteries in two years. Suddenly the £100 for the RAC battery with 5 year guarantee looked like a good investment!
