When planning
your pleasure or working trip on the water the last thing
you need is to be let down by your portable on board power
supply. LPD has available a wide range of marine and
leisure batteries enabling
you to choose the correct battery for your individual requirements
whether for high performance starting, powering your onboard
electrics or both. Our range of batteries include flooded,
sealed flooded, Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM), GEL and
pure lead manufacturing processes which come from some of
the leading manufacturers around the world. Produced to exacting
standards and quality, ensuring that for work, rest or play
you are never left high and dry.
If you are planning a longer trip or you wish to keep your
leisure battery fully charged at all times, don't forget
to look at our range of solar
panels and solar
lighting kits.
Also to protect your battery during transportation
or for a camping trip why not keep it safe in one of
our practicle battery
box that will suit any battery size up to L 356mm x W
208mm x H 228mm.
Flooded Lead Acid (FLA) – Probably
the most common battery used by the boating fraternity. Each
individual cell can be accessed for maintenance purposes.
FLA leisure batteries are suitable for many marine applications
from jetski, small
fishing or pleasure craft, narrow boats and floating houses
or large motor and wind powered yachts. They have carrying
handles for easy transportation, a magic eye for instantly
checking battery condition and charge state base hold downs
(on certain part numbers) for clamping and a venting
tube for safe installation.
Sealed Flooded Lead Acid (SFLA) – SFLA
batteries have been developed to take the leisure battery
to the next level of high performance with added safety and
convenience. The deep cycle technology used in the manufacture
of these batteries ensures you get maximum performance for
every trip. Anti-flashback safety labyrinths built into the
lid prevents any possibility of a spark causing the ignition
of charge and discharge gasses. Being totally sealed there
is no need for maintenance (except charging after each use)
and is completely leak proof. Carrying handles, built in
state of charge indicator, base hold downs for clamping and
dual terminals on certain part numbers.
Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) – AGM batteries
are totally sealed and as the electrolyte has been absorbed
into glass mat separators there is no chance of leakages.
AGM batteries give excellent deep cycle capability, high
start performance and low self discharge so they will always
be ready to perform. Another advantage is that they are Valve Regulated
Lead Acid (VRLA) batteries. The battery lid is constructed with a labyrinth
of valves which in effect directs the gases produce under
load or charging back into the battery. Perfect for more
extreme conditions and that extra safety aspect.
GEL - Gel batteries are similar to AGM batteries except
that an immobilised electrolyte is used. GEL batteries are
more tolerant to deeper cycling and have a very low self
discharge compared to FLA and SFLA batteries. For marine
applications GEL batteries were specially designed for maintenance
free, on-board mains power supply. Whether you choose the
Numax or Sonnenschein brand, pound for pound, you will find GEL hard to beat for all round performance and reliability.
Pure Lead and Spiral Wound – Odyssey and Optima batteries are sealed pure lead batteries so there
is no chance of any leaks whatever the angle of operation.
These batteries can be fitted on there side or indeed upside
down. They will work even when the case has been cracked
or under water. With extremely low
self discharge the Odyssey
battery can
be left on the shelf for up to 2 years (depending on certain
conditions). Not only do these batteries have unrivalled deep
cycle charactoristics, the Optima battery has been constructed
to be up to 15 times more resiliant to vibration damage
as standard batteries.
