Hi,
It is looking like I am up for a battery replacement.

What are people fitting / upgrading when replacing the batteries?

Broken down but now running again in Caloundra, QLD.

What make is your standard battery? Any decent battery shop should be able to get something similar.

Yep, no problem getting a battery....$350-380. Depending on which make. Was just enquiring to se what people upgraded too!

Warranty, power, reputation.

Thanks

I have a Supercharge battery which has 30 mth warranty. It failed a load test at about 28 mths and they replaced it. Great service and another 30 mths warranty.

Battery world quoted a Amorah.....not sure of the spelling. Three year warranty.....thought that was good. Just wondered about the amps/CC

You could try contacting Brad at YHI Power in Brissle.

See Battery Discounts For AULRO members (https://www.aulro.com/afvb/vendors-offering-aulro-discounts/210400-battery-discounts-aulro-members.html)

I've bought about 8 batteries from them now. Excellent service and prices. Delivery was so cheap it wasn't worth me going to pick them up.

My Defender came with a Varta which lasted 8 years.

SNAP!!
The battery in my X5 is still strong. My RRS battery died last week. I bought one from SuperCheap for $195.
