What Our Customers Say About Our Work
WHAT IS A LESIURE BATTERY?
A leisure battery is the heart of your campervans electrical setup, keeping all the comforts of home powered while you’re off on your adventures. Unlike your vehicle’s main battery, which is designed to start the engine, a leisure battery is built to provide a steady flow of power over time. This makes it perfect for running things like lights, fridges, water pumps, or even charging your gadgets while you’re parked up.
A Few Tips:
- Keep your battery charged up, especially if you’re not using it for a while.
- Think about how much power you’ll need – bigger batteries handle more devices but take longer to charge.
- Pair it with solar panels for even more off-grid freedom!

How do I Charge my Leisure Battery?
Charging your leisure battery is pretty straightforward, and there are a few options depending on your campervan setup and lifestyle. Here’s a simple guide to get you started:
1. While You Drive (via the Alternator)
Most campervans are set up to charge the leisure battery while the engine is running. The alternator generates power, and a split charge relay or battery-to-battery charger directs some of it to your leisure battery.
Pros: Convenient and automatic.
Cons: You need to be driving long hours to provide a full charge.
2. Solar Panels
Solar panels are a fantastic option if you’re planning to go off-grid. They convert sunlight into power and feed it into your leisure battery through a solar charge controller.
Pros: Great for eco-friendly, off-grid trips.
Cons: Weather-dependent and requires initial setup.
3. Campsite Hookup (Mains Power)
When you’re at a campsite, you can use an electric hookup to charge your leisure battery. You’ll need a compatible battery charger to connect your battery to the mains.
Pros: Reliable and fast.
Cons: You need to be plugged in at a site.
