Lead acid batteries are all shit and prone to turning into bricks at the slightest "mistreatment" (e.g. using them, or not using them) so they'll all have bad reviews. Buy the cheapest one and assume you'll be replacing it not far down the line.
Disconnect it when the van isn't in use for any length of time (unless you have solar). Check the voltage and charge it up periodically.
Leisure batteries... What should I get? Acquired a van with a dead autolite class A which can be had for sub £100 on Amazon but it seems to have rather poor reviews. Any advice would be welcome and is something totally new to me.
