We are wholesaler of vehicle, leisure, and commercial batteries
Milton Direct Limited is a leading wholesaler of vehicle, leisure, and commercial batteries, proudly based in Oxford. With a strong reputation for reliability and expertise, we have also secured a contract to maintain the batteries of local emergency service vehicles across Oxfordshire.
With the vast range of batteries available today, selecting the right one for your application is crucial. Simply fitting the largest commercial starter battery into your vehicle does not guarantee efficiency or longevity. Understanding the differences between battery types is essential for optimal performance.
Starter Batteries are designed to deliver high cranking amps (CCA) for a short burst to start an engine, immediately recharging via an alternator or generator. Using them for continuous power, such as running domestic appliances, significantly reduces their lifespan and efficiency.
Deep Cycle Batteries are built for repeated deep discharge and recharge cycles. They last significantly longer than starter batteries and are available in various types, including wet, sealed, and gel options.
With the rise of modern technology—electronic navigation systems, inverters, and home comforts in boats, caravans, mobile homes, and holiday homes—the demand for high-capacity and efficient power solutions continues to grow. Manufacturers have responded with a diverse range of products to balance size, weight, and safety considerations.
At Milton Direct Ltd, we are committed to providing expert advice and high-quality batteries to meet your needs. Contact us today to find the right power solution for your application!

There a three ‘popular’ types of battery manufactured today.
Flooded Lead Acid (FLA)
Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM), a totally sealed battery giving high starting performance and deep cycling capacity
