You will need to provide a 75 or 85Ah 12V caravan/leisure battery. Unfortunately, we cannot supply the battery due to the high cost of delivering these to you. Any old car battery will work provided it will hold a charge (fully charge it before using with your SolarMate kit), however, to get the best results we suggest you buy a new battery - they are readily available and typically cost £30 to £40 for a suitable one.
