Good day. I just want to post a warning to all the campers and off road people out there. Although I bought the battery from Bush Power, I just want to make clear it is not their fault. I bought the battery on 26 May with one year guarantee and it was installed in my Pajero as a auxiliary battery for our visit to the Richtersveld.in March/April this year. The first night at Pootjiespram camp, I connect my 40L Engel fridge to it and it did not last the night. The fridge runs on 2.5 amps max. Two weeks ago, just outside the guarantee, the battery totally give notice. It started to discharged itself to 11.5V within 3 minutes and to 9.95V after 15 minutes. It does not take any charge from the Ctek charger or my car although it shows on the monitor that it is fully charged till you disconnect the charger and moment after, the alarm goes off. I kept the battery at fully charged capacity as long as I had it. So, think twice before buying one.
