May 31, 20197 yr I previously had a 105Ah Deltec High Cycle for my camping fridge, with a 120W panel and CTEK D250S charger to keep it topped up. The battery has recently gone to battery heaven, and I need to replace it with something else now. Any suggestions? A proper deep cycle battery, perhaps?
May 31, 20197 yr Depends how often you use it. You should look at the standby time specs rather than the number of cycles as I imagine it only gets used from time to time. In fact it may be most cost effective to buy a cheap battery before your trip and work it hard, next year buy a new one.
May 31, 20197 yr Author Cheap in a 100Ah battery is sadly not very cheap 🙂 Got a quote for a Ritar 100Ah deep cycle AGM @ R2600.

June 1, 20197 yr Author This quote was from batteriesonline.co.za - they're associated with Deltec in Paarden Island, and prices are generally quite good. What was your R1850 battery's brand and specs?
June 3, 20197 yr Author I'm thinking either a Ritar 105Ah AGM deep cycle, or a Dixon 105Ah deep cycle (flooded). The Dixon may be a bit cheaper than the Ritar.
