New battery needed

When we got our new van last year we decided to have a mover fitted.  The dealer assured us that the Powrtouch would work adequately with our 88ah leaisure battery.  Now the battery has died and I suspect we need a larger one.  This presents a problem.  As
my wife and I have a combined age of 144 we find the weight of the battery a challenge as we have to remove it form the box and bring it home to put on the charger each time we come home from a trip.  I am not sure that we can manage a larger battery than
the current 88ah one.  I have read, somewhere, that if you always use EHU then a car type battery will work just as well even when using a mover.  Does anyone know if this is true or have I been misled?
