No mate, I've never mains charged. I have two batteries wired together in parallel. Positive to positive and negative to negative. Same as jump starting a car. I have a good quality SCR (Durite). I have two batteries as I have two pumps. The SCR keeps them both charged. Because they are so big and powerful they never seem to be under strain even after a very long working day with very little driving. I always go big and strong with batteries as that way they last way longer. .Do you charge battery every night Davy?
You charge everyday but how? Just a charger or conditioner? Charge mine every night. CTEK charger has kept my battery tip top for 3 years now.Anybody recommend a good leisure battery
I charge battery everyday as it's not connected to van relay
I only do a couple of mile a day if that as all my work is local
Had a couple of leisure batterys most they have lasted is 6 month if that
Any recommendations thanks

Here's Spring Controller's answer as to why BAT is displayed.Getting a flashing "BAT" error on my controller. Original battery Avon 75 amp Heavy Duty that i got with facelift compact system 18 months ago, no idea if it's a poor or decent battery. I haven't charged it as often as I should have to be honest.
Can't seem to get Numax over here, Exide seems popular or Yuasa. Can I increase the ampage when I buy a new battery?
Yes you can increase the size of your battery. You need to be looking at a class B battery. Most of us use 105/110 amp leisure batteries.Getting a flashing "BAT" error on my controller.

Not being critical but try cleaning up you battery terminals and apply a light smear of grease they look a bit corroded and dry , this will help with current flow , remove the fittings and grease up the terminals , this might help it always did with cars years ago .Ordered new exide battery yesterday from Tayna batteries class b 115amh, not sure when it will arrive though. Been on to WCW, still talking to them. System still flashing bat, flow set to 72 and flow rate is still good but the digital control won't let me change the rate up or down, electric reel is working fine. Charged battery up and can see 13.7 on the controller for split second. WCW asked me to check to see if any damage to wires or fuses which I couldn't see. I have never messed around with the controller or wiring.

Hey mate, wd 40 or tec cleaner for the terminals?Not being critical but try cleaning up you battery terminals and apply a light smear of grease they look a bit corroded and dry , this will help with current flow , remove the fittings and grease up the terminals , this might help it always did with cars years ago .
We 40 would be fine for cleaning the terminals up and acting as a corrosion inhibitor , if you have a bit of grease on the terminals it tends to last longer than wd40 which over time evaporates . But yes it will help especially if done regularly.Hey mate, could I use wd 40 or tec cleaner degreser for the terminals?
Try charging it up again and see if it makes any difference, also check each of the built connections as they could be corroded , clean them the same way just in caseCleaned everything up unfortunately, still same flashing on the display panel. Until i get that new battery and replace it I'm not going to know. Just bad timing I suppose as everything is closed, usually i would just pop over to Halfords and grab one. WCW did give me a number to ring for one of their guys in Liverpool who's well up on it, might give him a ring tomorrow.
Yeah, bullet connectors don't have a great reputation in the auto-electrician trade according to the one I go to locally. Hall's Electrical, M4 J16. They do the electrical work on police cars and the like. Those blue ones in the photo look like DIY aimed from the likes of Halfords. They wouldn't be the best quality I'd imagine.Try charging it up again and see if it makes any difference, also check each of the built connections as they could be corroded , clean them the same way just in case
