    What way do you charge your lamping batteries??
    I have a yuasa 12v 7ah, ive been told that the "normal" car battery charger is hard on them,, have a sealey charger we use for cars and tractor etc,, just wanna be sure because with this battery going lamping it will be flat every nite probably and will need to be charged on a pretty regular basis,, its rated for 300 cycles from completely flat,, dont wanna burn it out early thats all,,

    Small batteries don't like much more than a 1amp charge, I would get an Optimate charger or another motorcycle type charger that can intelligently charge without putting serious amps through those small plates.
    This one looks good for the money but optimates can be got for around 70 in motorcycle shops here.

    What cj says above. If they Charente to quick the gas dont get time to escape and so swells the battery case. They are a sealed unit

    Aldi lidl have good chargers in from time to time
