Hi Dominichayhoe,I just took the details off my ‘Leisure Battery’ under the bonnet and it’s markings online show that it is not a leisure battery but a start battery?

Maybe they took a proactive decision to go with this as the best compromise, as one that's need for the above purpose and the deep cycling somewhat allowed by the AGM factor.Hi Dominichayhoe,
Yes it is a START battery.... This is what I've found on the VARTA web site:
"VARTA® Silver Dynamic AGM batteries are perfect for advanced start-stop systems in which the battery needs to be quickly recharged through the energy provided by the regenerative braking systems."

who am I to correct you, just wanted to point out that it is in effect a battery to start the engine,Maybe they took a proactive decision to go with this as the best compromise, as one that's need for the above purpose and the deep cycling somewhat allowed by the AGM factor.
Thanks for pointing out my grammatical error and putting it in capitals too, I'm sure no one knew that I meant starter as opposed to start.
That's nice. That's not the battery I have under my bonnet though. Mine is as per the OP.According to my local battery importer, the Varta Silver Dynamic AGM short code F21 (start battery) 80AH 800 CCA and the Varta Professional Dual Purpose AGM short code LA80 (leisure battery) 80AH 800 CCA are exactly the same battery sold under different labels…
What battery have you got fitted as the Leisure Battery?That's nice. That's not the battery I have under my bonnet though. Mine is as per the OP.
He's just told you! same as the OPWhat battery have you got fitted as the Leisure Battery?
Sorry meant Engine Battery?He's just told you! same as the OP
On a GC the leisure battery is in the engine bay, & the engine battery is under the seat.
