A Leisure battery is essential for powering your caravan, motorhome, or campervan when you’re off-grid or parked without an electric hook-up. To help consumers make informed choices, the National Caravan Council (NCC) classifies leisure batteries into three categories—Class A, Class B, and Class C—based on their performance and durability. Kendal Caravans proudly stocks only Platinum-branded batteries, all NCC verified, offering peace of mind and reliable power for every type of trip.
NCC Verified Leisure Battery Scheme
The NCC Verified Leisure Battery Scheme tests batteries for their capacity and life cycles at 50% depth of discharge (DoD). This ensures that each battery meets the demands of its intended use, then assigns them to one of three classes
| Class | Purpose | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|
| Class A | Frequent off-grid use | Motor movers, TVs, heaters, fridges, microwaves, lighting |
| Class B | Hook up with higher demand | Motor movers (short use), TVs, lighting |
| Class C | Hook up with higher demand | Basic lighting, small appliances |
Leisure Battery Technologies
Platinum offers a range of technologies to suit different NCC classes:
- Flooded Lead-Acid (Wet Cell) – Affordable, maintenance-free in Platinum’s sealed designs. Best for Class C.
- AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) – Vibration-resistant, longer cycle life. Ideal for Class B and motor mover use.
- Gel – Spill-proof, durable, excellent for Class A off-grid caravanners.
- EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery) – Improved cycle life over standard wet cells, bridging Class B/C needs.
- Lithium (LiFePO4) – Lightweight, fast charging, very long cycle life. NCC lists lithium separately as “(Lith)” in its scheme.
All Platinum batteries are clearly labelled with their NCC classification and technology type, making selection straightforward.
Platinum Battery Warranty Cover
Platinum leisure batteries come with a 2‑year manufacturer’s warranty across their range.
This warranty gives caravanners peace of mind that their battery investment is protected, provided it is used and maintained correctly.
