What make/brand is it and how much did you pay for it?

Thanks

It is a Trojan 100AH Deep Cycle Marine Battery.

Also, I understand that the battery could well have been sitting on the shelf at the Kmart service centre for god knows how long.
I should never have bought the damn thing from there.
The "mechanic" ought the battery out, sat it in front of the other and said (and I kid you not) "The terminals are on the wrong sides of the battery":eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:
I said "turn it around" then he actually asked me if I wanted him to fit it:eek:
THEN I had them do a wheel alignment o the vehicle, which I paid for up front.
Upon returning to pick the vehicle up the service manager proceeded to tell me that I must have put a left handed threaded ball joint in the right handed threaded track rod and therefore they couldn't do the alignment:eek::eek:
I went home and clambered under the front end, the STUPID ***** was turning the whole track rod, not the adjuster.

Had exactly the same thing happen, needed an alignment on a Friday afternoon and went to the only place able to fit us in before the weekend.

Dropped the wife’s D3 at the K-FART tyre centre, to get a wheel alignment and went off shopping, came back a few hours later and noticed the D3 had been moved so great, the job is done.

NOT.

Same excuse, their equipment could not handle such a large rim, 18”.

Serves me right for going to the McDonalds of tyre centres :twisted:
