You asked for recommendations. I recommend looking for an AGM battery, preferably one that weighs 300g per Ah. I don't sell batteries.I am getting confused, the Wet battery Alpha recommended a bad choice ?
You asked Alpha Batteries and they recommended something else. They sell batteries. Perhaps they don't sell what I would choose, or perhaps they like selling batteries that don't last as long, or ones with a bigger markup.
I note that they list a Leoch Gel battery with a claimed 2000 cycle life. That's 95Ah and weighs 30KG: https://www.alpha-batteries.co.uk/12v-110ah-leoch-powabloc-tubular-gel-battery/ Six times the life for 50% more money. Although I don't specially like Gel, that looks like a good battery to me.
Perhaps it won't fit in the space you have available.
When you get advice, it is useful to consider what benefits the person giving the advice might be considering. I would not buy what they recommended, but that isn't to say it is a poor choice: just that I think there are better.
