cheers

Quite probably!

I did find a cheaper battery but it was heaps 660cca whereas the one I ended up with was 830cca. It was a lead calcium battery.

I probably got ripped off but they've been around for ages this mob and they are usually pretty ok.

You can accuse folks that sell ya batteries about the price hike all ya want. But fact is, that our prices have gone up too at work, and I get ta sign for all the batteries we sell. If we dont get them as cheap, neither do you guys.

Ironically you can blame Japan and China this time. They're screaming for lead for all the new cars they got goin' over there. On top of that some lunatics with too much money world wide decided lead was a very under-priced product, bought a whole lot of it and is now content to rake in many more millions off poor soles like us.

Enjoy, because the prices aren't gonna go back down. But never fear, lithium will be here soon enough!
