Leisure batteries

Finally the leisure batteries after 16 years use have finally given up. They only keep the refrigerator working for 24 hrs.

2 correct sequence of disconnecting and reconnecting ?

Shouldn’t be a problem. Keep them charged up regularly (and keep them off a cold floor). I just changed mine - got the Enduroline equivalents from Tayna Batteries as LA80’s out of stock.

I bought a new leisure battery and then didn't fit it for over a year. It sat in its box, in the garage(integrated garage so doesn't get cold), fitted it recently and gave it a good charge. No problems so far.
