Caravan and motorhome batteries in Málaga, no appointment In Málaga we test and change the battery of your caravan, motorhome or camper van without an appointment: you drop by, we check it free with Midtronics equipment and, if needed, we fit the new one on the spot. We are at C/ La Orotava, 100 (San Luis industrial estate, next to the Carretera de Cádiz), we are an official Varta dealer and we have worked here since 1999, with 27 years of experience. The coastal heat and the long months in winter storage are hard on batteries, especially the leisure one, so it pays to check them before setting off. As this website is a catalogue, you will not see online sale prices here: we give you the exact quote by phone or WhatsApp at +34 952 31 01 18 , depending on the model and capacity you need. Recycling of the old battery is free. Starter and leisure: your caravan has two different batteries A motorhome or camper has two jobs that almost always call for different batteries, and mixing them up is the most common mistake: - Starter battery (engine): cranks the vehicle's engine. It prioritises a strong burst of current (CCA) for a few seconds. It is a conventional starter battery, like a car or van battery. - Leisure or auxiliary battery (living area): powers the fridge, lights, water pump, heater and chargers for hours. It is discharged and recharged many times, so it needs to be a deep-cycle battery, designed to take that treatment without degrading. Using a starter battery as a leisure battery wears it out in a couple of seasons, because it is not built for deep discharges. The right approach is to separate both circuits and fit the correct battery for each function. Which leisure battery to choose For the living area we work with three solutions, from entry level to top performance: - Varta Professional Dual Purpose (AGM/EFB): the dual-purpose battery. It combines enough starting power with good cycling capacity, ideal when you want a single battery that both provides moderate onboard service and starts. - Varta Professional Deep Cycle (AGM/GEL): pure deep cycle. Sealed, maintenance-free and resistant to repeated discharges and to road vibration. The one we recommend if you often stay overnight with the fridge, lights and pump running. - Lithium (LiFePO4): the maximum in range and service life. It weighs far less, accepts almost full discharges and many more cycles, and recharges faster. Perfect for motorhomes with high consumption or solar panels. See our lithium batteries in Málaga . The key figures for getting it right are the capacity in amp-hours (Ah) , which sets how many hours of range you have, and the number of cycles the battery withstands. Tell us your onboard consumption and the size of the tray and we will tell you the exact reference. How the leisure battery is recharged The auxiliary battery is topped up in several ways, and all of them should be properly sized: - Solar panels: through a regulator they charge during the day without burning fuel. The best option for range on the road and for keeping the battery healthy in winter storage. - Engine alternator: charges while you drive. On modern vehicles with a smart alternator a booster is usually needed for the leisure battery to receive a full charge. - DC-DC charger (booster) and mains charger: the DC-DC manages charging between the starter and leisure batteries and protects both; plugging into the campsite mains recharges to 100%. If you are going to fit lithium, keep in mind it needs a compatible charger and BMS: we advise you so the whole system is coherent and safe. Guide prices and quote As a reference, a lead leisure battery (deep-cycle AGM or GEL) varies with its capacity in Ah, and a lithium (LiFePO4) battery for the living area usually falls between 200 and 400 € depending on the amp-hours and the maker. These are guide figures: the exact amount depends on your vehicle and consumption, so we confirm it by WhatsApp or phone. Fitting is done on the spot and we check the state of charge of both batteries free.
