    Hi All,
    I have a Ducato 2.8 id TD Camper
    The battery in the engine needs replacement (I think) and also the leisure battery.
    Any ideas on capacity and types for both would be a great help

    My Ducato 2.8 engine battery is a Bosch(S3 013) 90Ah which I purchased in a local motor factors last year, I think it was around €100ish
    Leisure battery is Powerlite 85Amp Leisure which has been in MH since before I purchased it 4 years ago. Still going strong and kept on trickle charge with a 20watt panel on the roof.

    Thanks for the info stapeler.
    I want to avoid overcharging the leisure battery and I thought that the internal unit should do that but it might not be.
    When I had the mains hooked up to it for a few weeks it seems to have been charging the leisure battery all the time.
    I will have to look at it in more detail but thanks again - its good to know what values i should be using.
