The best leisure battery for your campervan is one that’s powerful, easy to charge and easy to fit. A low maintenance battery or maintenance free battery is also ideal, as they will require less maintenance. A battery should also be able to discharge easily from a full charge without being damaged.
When deciding on which battery is best for your campervan you may have a preference for either lithium or sealed acid. We included models that satisfy both preferences in our leisure battery roundup. You can find a battery that will suit your needs and budget by taking a look at the list below.

Photonic Universe Deep Cycle AGM leisure Battery
What is an AGM battery? AGM stands for Absorbed Glass Mat - this is a battery in which all electrolyte is absorbed into a special sponge made of glass fibre. This advanced technology ensures that AGM batteries are non-spillable, completely sealed and maintenance free - they are one of the safest batteries you can find. They have much longer service life compared to standard wet-cell batteries due to lower degradation and corrosion inside the battery. AGM batteries hold charge well and have low self-discharge rate.
Other important advantages of AGM batteries are:
- Better recovery from deep discharge
- Their position doesn't have to be upright all the time
- Improved resistance to shock and vibration
Deep cycle means that this battery has been specially designed for applications which involve regular deep discharge. Such applications include using it as a leisure battery in caravans, motorhomes, campervans and boats, or energy storage in lighting systems, telecommunications, networking and off-grid power systems. This battery is also great for back up, emergency and UPS power systems.

Your motorhome leisure battery will normally be charged when you drive your motorhome. However, some types of engine won't maintain your battery charge while driving.
Booking camping sites with a sufficient hook-up will reduce your time spent charging batteries. 100A at one campground is the same as 16A at another. Consider purchasing and installing a portable leisure battery charger to be safe.
