Car Battery

[Onthehunt]

Hi guys,

Battery died today so need to get a new one. Called a few places and they said i need to get a sealed one being in the boot and all but cheapest i got qouted was $280(which is ridiculous for a battery i thought).

I have being looking at a Century battery so does anyone know a good place i can get one in Perth(not too far out of city)? Need one asap so will be calling first thing in the morning so any help tonight would be great.

cheers

they are the ones that said $280. Didn't know who else to try.

sounds a lil over price but not by much remember you do have an import they are not a standard falcodore battery the terminals are different and for that price your getting the power of a truck battery in a verry small package i think i paid 200ish 2years ago for one step below a gellcell i got it from battery wholesalers (formerly battery world) in mandurah

What type of battery did they quote you on?

I got a 500cca yellow top optima from Battery World for $295. And the 2 guys must have been bored towards the end of the day because they even took some time to make a small plate that sat under the battery to make it higher for the cross mount to secure it properly.

A century can be bought from Big W for ~$100 can't it?!

I just got one from Coventrys when mine died. Not sealed or anything. Just a normal type battery. Think it is a century. Cost way under $100 from memory. If you like i can get the part number off it for ya.

i got mine from Repco in Wangara, just a cheapish Century sealed one with breather and battery status indicator, 140 from memory with 1 year replacement battery

Optima / Oddysee batterys are very good, but dear.

Any sealed or maintenance free battery will good enough and will only cost around $100-$140.

i just rang rac it cost me 160 they put new terminals on and a decent battery and they did it all for me rac for the win

What the hell, are you guys all totally retarded? There is NOTHING special about our batteries, they are just the smaller terminal type.

I paid like $90bux for mine, just went to the local auto parts store to pick one up. It's not rocket science!

Oh, and if you're looking at odyssey batteries, I sure hope you have the TECHNICAL justification to buy one of those, not just "cos they're better"

pm wrxhoon on this forum. he was doing gel cell sealed odyssey copies for $160 delivered. in a skyline you have to have, by law, a battery which is vented to atmosphere, not your boot, or a completely sealed battery which these are. from memory they were 550cca and i've never had a problem with mine, even after leaving the stereo on for hours. excellent trader.
