It wasn’t a very difficult job in the end, but with the help of this detailed walk-through of the process to replace the leisure batteries in a VW California the job was a piece of cake. In fact sourcing the new Varta LA80 AGM batteries from Tanya batteries was in some ways more tricky. Be warned these batteries are super expensive! Don’t make the mistake I made – drastically reducing their lifespan – by allowing them to completely discharge and stay that way for an anything but the shortest period of time, especially in cold weather. I now have the van plugged in and on a timer to provide occasional top-up charging. 😉
