Thread: Battery Discounts for Aulro members

Thats an interesting bit of info.
Went to the cold country last week from the sunny north coast and the battery in the pajero, decided it didn't like the cold and wouldn't work.
Saw a mate in Sydney on the way back home and he organised a new battery at trade rates a'Power crank' it cost me $72. ( retail $160) I didn't know this but batteries are unbranded, they put the sticker on when they are delivered. I suspect they all come from the same place.
You all think dealers and the like rob you blind, battery sellers are the same.
Is there a contact person for the trade rates, the battery in the Disco is starting to protest too.
( I know I should have got two down there,but she didn't ring me till I was halfway home to tell it was playing up)

Do they sell Optima's :?:

Very handy to know! Thanks!

Hello ,
Some of you may know that I work as a Sales rep for Super Charge Batteries. After becoming a member of Aulro on the weekend I thought it was thought fair to offer trade discounts to fellow members. Members need to go to one of our warehouses listed previously and mention that they are members of Aulro to receive a discount.
SuperCharge is a wholesaler and manufacturer of high quality batteries. Because of our wholesale nature we are limited to supplying trade prices only from our warehouse facilities.

The answer to a previous qustion is no we do not sell Optima Batteries, To view the batteries that we sell please go to www.supercharge.com.au
Another answer to a statement mentioned is that not all batteries come from the same place, far from it. Supercharge for instance make nearly all of their product range including plates, seperators through to cases and caps etc. Some companies do however have differant brand names apart from the main brand name. Here is some info from our web site.......
Supercharge Batteries is a nationwide distributor of conventional and maintenance-free automotive, marine, deep cycle, motorcycle and SLA batteries. Supercharge belongs to the Ramcar Group, one of the leading fully-integrated battery manufacturers in Asia. Ramcar has invested in a modern, state-of-the art manufacturing facility that produces expanded metal calcium-calcium batteries. With this manufacturing back-up, Supercharge aims to be the best supplier of battery products in Australia.
Supercharge has been operating in Australia for 20 years.

Our products are distributed from 18 warehousing locations all over the country. This facilitates the servicing of regular customers' demand through consistent, scheduled service. Our experienced sales and service personnel will ensure that stocks are fresh and ready-to-use, product warranties are settled promptly on site, stocks are rotated and batteries are kept clean and presentable. All of these services enable our customers to efficiently service their own clienteles' needs.

Product Lines

A. Our Supercharge Classic line consists of our conventional heavy duty, low maintenance Supercharge types. Coming in wet and dry charged variants, the line features high-impact polypropylene plastic casing and polyethylene envelope separators. The Classic line has proven exceptional cold cranking performance, long shelf life, and excellent durability even in high temperatures.


B. Our Supercharge Gold line boasts of superior maintenance free technology. Its gas liquid separator cover design minimizes the evaporation of water or acid in normal operating conditions. Its calcium-calcium, expanded grids provide superior strength and resistance to heat, grid corrosion and overcharging. The plates are assembled with polyethylene envelope separators providing even more cranking power and preventing shorting. Its lightweight polypropylene plastic casing guarantees high-impact strength and excellent vibration resistance. With all of these, the Supercharge Gold is simply a safer, stronger, more reliable battery.

I hope this helps answer some of your questions.. cheers .. Brad
If you have any problems getting your discount ask them to get in contact with either Brad Chandler (GoldCoast rep) or Les Hicks (QLD State Manager) for information.
ps: Our warranties are now differant to what is displayed on the web site.
Classic range 30 months for cars, 24 months for 4wd , Gold range 36 months for cars, 24 months for 4wd. Classic is a conventional battery and the Gold is a truely maintenance free battery with higher cca.

Now see what I have done after reading this yesterday, had no reason to drive up to the Gold coast , so went into Lismore for a few other things, went to Northern rivers Discount Batteries , Union St, lismore walked in and was staring at a range of Supercharge batteries, so I bought one ( the old one was beyond redemption)the price was excellent even though it wasn't at trade rates. But I told the bloke about your post here.
Keep up the good work.

and i can vouch for the quality of supercharge batteries......

ive been running them in my cars for the last five or six years.......

they do seem to last longer than other brands....especially in the falcon which always seems to boil them dry....

How do the AC Delco batteries compare to the "Gold".

The specs seemed better.
