Technology Low-Down
Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) batteries are dry-cell, with the battery acid being encapsulated in fibreglass sheets. In comparison to flooded batteries, AGMs offer increased levels of reliability and versatility – with no free acid, they can be mounted in any orientation and are better able to handle vibration.

Cost Per Cycle (Value Comparison)
If you cycle your leisure battery regularly, cost per cycle is a simple way to compare long-term value. The figures below use the typical cycle life ranges for each technology and the current prices shown above.
| Model | Price | Technology | Cycle Life | Cost / Cycle (Range) | Value Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| SFL-85 | £83.99 | Flooded Lead Acid | ~300–400 | £0.21–£0.28 | Lowest upfront cost |
| LAGM-85 | £111.70 | AGM | ~600–900 | £0.12–£0.19 | Strong all-round value |
| LDC12-90-G24-DT | £162.25 | Lead Carbon AGM | ~1300–1500 | £0.11–£0.12 | Best for frequent cycling |
Note: Cycle life varies by depth of discharge, charging profile, temperature, and usage. These figures are intended as a simple like-for-like comparison of typical cycle ranges.
Tip: If you regularly cycle your leisure battery (off-grid / solar / frequent weekends), the Lead Carbon option often works out cheaper over time despite the higher upfront cost.

Delivery and Services
The battery also came with a smart charger and everything is fine. First battery measurements, good values. Battery lighter than conventional batteries. I recommend. Delivery faster than Amazon Prime. Goods safely packed in a box. I recommend buying a Smart charger. Do not charge with a classic charger !!!
