Oh "no pressure"

 

[DavidG58]

It was plus VAT but still £20 cheaper than Tayna

I did think I was looking at saving £100 though, hence my fear I was buying the wrong battery

Don't Tayna offer a price match?

Don't Tayna offer a price match?

If I can find things cheaper I rarely take up those options, I am sure they do , but prefer to support the business offering the better price already

Try Tayna for price matching before committing.

Read the reviews on the firm before committing

Read the reviews on the firm before committing

I wondered what you had found , there are no reviews shown that I can find, maybe as worrying as bad reviews though

I will report back , order placed

I would check the manufacturing date, could have been in stock a long time so may be trying to get rid of them.

With your van being a keeper have you considered Lithium, ideal time to change if you need new batteries.

With your van being a keeper have you considered Lithium, ideal time to change if you need new batteries.

I did consider, but felt they would need to be located inside, so more complicated , but my final decision was based on risk of frying my alternator with it being nearly 20 years old

This format has served us well for 11 years I decided why pay more for not much benefit and some risk

Yes I missed the plus VAT and like you I would be reluctant to go for a price match, basically we will have your eyes out but if you catch us out we will still try to get your business

I’m not a fan of those batteries had two fail and they got so hot I could not handle them without gloves

 

[BusyBuilder]

We've had 2 of them in our Hymer for 5 years, never had a problem yet, (think we got the ES90's) and about the same price.

Usually very good to be fair, ours were 10 or more years old when we sold the Flair and I know others have had them a lot longer, might depend on the charger etc, but Davids van is "old school"

 

[TinaLes]

Our 2 x 80ah Exide Gels are still going strong at 7 years.....he says....touch wood.

We had two out of three fail at 30 months old so just replaced with 1lithium

I took the one of our new van and fiited a Lithium, now have the 9 month old ES900 sitting in the garage if anyone has £50 for it

I would if I lived closer.

 

[cyberyacht]

Tigger-Tim I've got one sitting in my garage at home too if I'm any nearer for you.

New batteries delivered this morning

No date code that I can see, just this , same on both , tried googling but it would appear that Exide no longer use a date code seems madness to me, how would they ever resolve a warranty issue

Both reading just under 12.9V which sounds OK to me, now just got to convince a mate to help me fit them

 

[bobandjanie]

We have 2 fitted 6 years ago can't fault them. Bob.

I expect there are more than a few ES900s lurking in sheds. When I have my new van there will be 2 more hardly used ones going in a shed.

 

[DavidG58]

Batteries swapped, got a mechanic friend to do it, he can also test the batteries

Both still showing over 13V 2 hours after removal, following morning still high 12V he hooked up a 21W bulb for an hour then tested

One showed 12.6V 60% efficiency, the other 11.6V 0%

Pretty much the same end result as the two previous battery swaps, in our 11 year ownership, at least these have done 7 years and not worth the risk just to change one of them

First change was day 1, we bought the MH privately without spotting the batteries were dead , then again 4 years later, having had six months just using one battery when one had failed

 

[Pausim]

My new Malibu Van is coming with 2 ES900s and weighing in at 56kg for the pair but only having a useable capacity of up to about 120Ah they will be in the classified section shortly. I can get more Ah for half the weight using LiFePO4. Gel batteries are good but they are crazy heavy.
