Hi John

Nope still looking for some replacements , thanks for sharing that info , I'll give them a look up but to be honest 40ah is rather short on ah's for my liking, even if I was to double them up I would still only be looking at 80ah , still a fair number of Ah's short of the 100Ah that the vans has.

I might give him a bell and see what the score is with them.

Thanks for that.

I have found a supply of 150Ah Sealed LA batts but they are of a C8 rating so not that great, I been toying with buying and installing them but I need to look a bit harder at the charger profile to determine how it will like having sealed LA's on it ??
