Leisure Battery

Since 2008 when I acquired my first Eriba, I have had no problems with the leisure battery. Unfortunately the recent extreme cold snap seems to have killed the battery stone dead. (interior lights when on hook up, none when disconnected) The dead battery seems to be an 85Ah.
As there has been a mover fitted to my Troll, is it worth fitting a higher rated battery?

Bad luck. As you have a mover I would certainly go to a higher rated battery suitable for movers. I would look at a minimum 100Ah.

As above, I would also go for a higher rated. Out 1200kg 2017 Triton has the standard fit 95a/h. It is fine with this and has walked about 70yds on one occasion.

Yes for sure buy a higher rated battery and a smart charger would be beneficial such as a CTEK. I keep everything on smart charge at all times
and hopefully I will not have any battery failures.
