A lot of people use cat batteries in their vehicles. Some have quite good reports on them, others tell how they get them cheap from work. I think they're supposed to be pretty heavy duty, high cca et etc. All the things they would need to have when supplying power to earthworks machinery.

Out of curiosity where's the supercharge shop that's always referred too, or the thread discussing it. I've heard good things about these batteries too.

From the supercharge website, they are at 39 Raymond Avenue, Bayswater

WesTrac is 128 Great Eastern Highway, South Guildford

They're a couple of km's apart if you look them up on a map.

After much deliberation,in the end, I went up the road to Supercharge,there was no Brad there, but they still gave an Aulro discount on an MF80D26R rated at 670cca for $150.
Good to deal with.

I got the same supercharge battery in my disco and its the largest you can fit without moving the A/C hoses - mine was only $120 though .
