FAQs
Helpful answers to common questions about batteries, power systems and installations.
What does Deep Cycle or Cycles mean?
The number of times you can discharge the battery down to 60% depth of Discharge, which by then the battery has deemed to have failed.
What is a Leisure Battery? How is it different to a Car Battery?
A leisure battery is designed to provide a steady and sustained supply of power over time, making it ideal for running appliances in caravans, motorhomes, and boats. In contrast, a car battery delivers a short, powerful burst of energy to start an engine and is then recharged by the vehicle’s alternator.
How do I choose the right battery for my vehicle or application?
The correct battery depends on your vehicle type, equipment requirements and power usage. You can browse batteries by industry or by technology on our website to find the most suitable option. If you are unsure, our team can help you identify the correct battery for your application.
What is the difference between lead-acid and lithium batteries?
Lead-acid batteries are a proven and cost-effective solution used in many vehicles and equipment types. Lithium batteries are lighter, charge faster and typically last longer. The best option depends on your power requirements, budget and how the battery will be used.
Can lithium batteries replace lead-acid batteries?
In many cases lithium batteries can replace lead-acid batteries, but compatibility with chargers, alternators and electrical systems should be checked first. Some systems may require compatible charging equipment or system adjustments.
How long do batteries typically last?
Battery lifespan depends on the type of battery, how it is used and how well it is maintained. Lithium batteries generally last longer than traditional lead-acid batteries, especially in deep cycle applications.
Do your batteries come with a warranty?
Most Predator batteries include a manufacturer warranty. Warranty terms may vary depending on the product, so please check the product page or contact our team for details.
Can you help me design a battery or power system?
Yes. If you are building a campervan system, marine power setup or off-grid energy solution, our team can help you choose the right batteries and supporting components.
Can I install the battery myself?
Many batteries can be installed by customers with basic technical knowledge. However, for complex systems such as lithium battery installations, marine systems or energy storage setups, professional installation may be recommended.
