Leisure battery Ritar RA12-55A RA 58Ah 55A 12V
The Ritar RA12-55A with AGM technology stores 58 Ah at 12 V: autonomy for motorhomes, caravans and campers that need power off-grid. Its 229 × 138 × 235 mm make it the exact replacement for the 58 Ah battery fitted as standard to many motorhomes and caravans.
- Direct replacement for the original leisure battery.
- Recharges from the alternator, a solar panel or a mains charger.
- Withstands daily discharges throughout the season.
- AGM: faster recharging and better cycle resistance than a conventional battery.
Will it fit your current battery tray?
In terms of format, the Ritar RA12-55A measures 229 × 138 × 235 mm (length × width × height) and weighs 15.50 kg. It uses M6 terminals, the system that anchors and connects it in the vehicle. Checking the three dimensions and the terminal position before buying avoids the most common mistake when replacing a battery.
What the Ritar RA12-55A is for
The Ritar RA12-55A is designed for motorhomes, caravans and campers that need power off-grid: it powers fridge, lights, pump and chargers for several days off-grid. Its 58 Ah capacity sets the available autonomy. Check that it matches your current battery in dimensions, terminals and hold-down: this reference has a weight of 15.50 kg and M6 terminals.
The Ritar RA12-55A: RA range and AGM technology
The RA is the Ritar range the RA12-55A belongs to: it shares the same construction and quality criteria with the rest of the series, and varies in capacity and format to suit each vehicle.
AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology seals the electrolyte in glass microfibre. The result is a maintenance-free battery that is highly vibration-resistant and able to withstand deep discharges that would ruin a classic lead-acid battery.
What Ritar does differently
Ritar is one of the world's largest VRLA battery manufacturers. Its RA, RT, RL, HR and FT series equip UPS, telecoms and solar systems worldwide with very consistent quality. All the Ritar batteries in our catalogue are genuine product, recently manufactured and covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
Warranty and coverage
The Ritar RA12-55A comes with the manufacturer's official warranty against manufacturing defects. Avoid repeated full discharges: they shorten its life and are not covered.
How to make it last longer
Avoid routinely discharging the leisure battery below 50% and recharge it fully after every trip. Charge with a charger that has an AGM mode: it limits the voltage and protects the glass-fibre separators.
When you get it and how to return it
Order before 6:00 pm with stock available and it leaves today: mainland Spain and Portugal receive it in 24-48 working hours, the islands and the rest of the EU in 3 to 5 days. You have 14 days to return it if it has not been installed, with free collection on the mainland, and shipment tracking by email.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Ritar RA12-55A an AGM battery and what are the benefits of AGM?
Yes. The RA12-55A from Ritar uses AGM (Absorbent Glass Mat) technology: a sealed lead-acid battery where the electrolyte is absorbed in a glass-fibre mat. It withstands more charge/discharge cycles than a conventional one, handles heat better and is the required technology for caravans with advanced Start-Stop and regenerative braking. Expected lifespan: 5-8 years under normal conditions.
How is the Ritar RA12-55A battery installed in the vehicle?
In most caravans it fits in 15-30 minutes with a 10 mm wrench; if the battery is under the seat or in the boot the time can double. See the step-by-step guide on our blog. Quick summary: 1) switch off the engine and remove the key; 2) locate the original battery (engine bay, boot or under seat); 3) disconnect the negative (−) terminal first, then the positive (+); 4) loosen the hold-down clamp and remove the old battery; 5) fit the new one in the same orientation — match the polarity shown on the product sheet; 6) connect the positive (+) first, then the negative (−). On caravans with Start-Stop or BMS, register the battery via OBD so the alternator applies the correct charging profile.
How long does the Ritar RA12-55A battery last?
Expected lifespan of the Ritar RA12-55A is 5 to 8 years in mild-climate caravan use with Start-Stop. In cold regions it drops slightly due to cold-start stress; in very hot regions it also drops because of electrolyte evaporation. To extend its life: avoid deep discharges (headlights on with engine off), have the alternator checked yearly, and keep the battery clean and properly secured.
What are the measurements of the RA12-55A model?
Dimensions (length × width × height) are 229×138×235 mm — also written as 229x138x235 mm — following the European DIN standard. Always measure the space in your caravan before buying: even one extra millimetre can prevent the hold-down clamp from closing. The height shown includes the terminals.
Does this battery fit my caravan?
Three options to confirm: 1) enter your number plate in the finder (DGT/DVLA/KBA auto-detect your model and engine); 2) check the "Compatible vehicles" tab on this page, where we list every vehicle verified by our technical team; 3) if you cannot find your model, message us on WhatsApp with brand, model, engine and year — we reply during business hours (Mon–Fri 10:00–13:30 and 16:40–18:00 (Spanish time, CET)). The RA12-55A typically fits a wide range of European vehicles thanks to its standard DIN case format.
Which batteries are equivalent to the Ritar RA12-55A?
Directly interchangeable batteries (same dimensions, same polarity, same Ah and CCA) are the OEM equivalents from leading brands: Bosch, Tudor, Exide and, depending on the model, Banner or Yuasa. Exact equivalence depends on technology — an EFB cannot be replaced with a conventional battery in Start-Stop caravans. See the "Equivalents" section to view recommended options at the same performance level.
