hey mate try Battery world in slacks creek near keith 4 wheels .. i had a 600cca sealed battery by optima but dont expect them to be cheap .. around 280-400 depending what series you get ..

Dry cell batteries are not the best choice as a main battery...

They get allot of exposure in car audio scene due to running long time with out charge... However the quick drain factor that a starter motor puts on them can damage the cell...

Id suggest if you are a trying to use your car as a display car with a audio system and no 240v help then dry cell all the ay. But for a road driven car the dry cell is an expense you cannot afford (one day you will crank and nothing will happen)...

Atlas Batteries, talk to Rick. He's cheap, he's mobile (based south/west). You'll have to look him up though.

Cheers.

Can i get some numbers that i can call to the suggestions from u guys?

Well i actually have 2 choices, to customise a battery box fer my battery in the car or to run a dry cell, because it's in the cockpit that's why....and i need to have it done before track day in june... :

i am not sure if they can help or not, but it worth giving them a call. they are located at 54 Granite St. Geebung, and their number is 3265 2233. ask for Tom, he will help you out.

When you decide what you want send me a PM and a price and I'll see if one of the guys I know can beat it.

Thanx guys fer all yer help...well ive eventually gotten a Deka etx30L dry battery from Battery World at Chermside and it outputs 365CCA although everyone told me that Deka batteries are under-rated and when tested they easily put out another at least 80-120CCA more than specified. I got the battery fer 180(lowest quote among quite a few battery worlds) and had 101 motorcafe customise the brackets fer me. Donna and her other half at Battery World Chermside were really helpful and friendly and support motorsports as they have a drag bike of their own as well...If anyone wants to get an optima redtop(800-900CCA), comet batteries mentioned in this thread does them pretty cheap at 310. Just sharing some info...

Cheers!
