    Within the hour they brought out a selection of 4 battery's that they thought might fit. One was correct and it was fitted on the spot.
    I paid $185 with a cheque, and was on my way to do the shopping.
    Now that's what I call " Service ". It pays to belong.....

    That would have been fine if i had a TD5 because that's the sort of battery they were trying to sell me, but I sold the TD5 to get the Disco 3. You sure you dont have NRMA interest somewhere?????

    Thanks for the feedback, I wondered weather a standard battery for a TD5 Discovery is totally different to a battery for your car (discovery 3) 3 terminals, a handle on the bottom ? It makes me wonder just what one does when the battery pack on a Toyota Prius run out and need replacement? would the NRMA come to the rescue? and BTW I am just a satisfied NRMA customer and not assistant CEO or even the tea lady, if I was I would probably be driving a Morgan Aero sport,

    Discos Galore,
    I got an Amaron Pro battery, perfect fit and loads of amps, and about $250 which I thought was quite reasonable. They come out of India, I've had them before they seem to last the distance as well. Maintenance free of course. Hope that helps.

    Hey Nomad, I don't suppose you have a model number at all? My starting battery (supercharge) has clapped out after only 7 months!

    I have a yellow top D34 as the deep cycle but would be interested to find another semi deep cycle to use as the starter & feed the fridge for those extended times...

    Cheers

    Thought I'd update this thread as I had to get a new battery for the D3 this week. $312 from my local dealer for a 950 CCA rebadged Varta which looks the same as the one i'm replacing. Part Number LR030213
    The Varta badged 850 CCA was about $360 on the net from federal batteries

    Regards,

    Can you tell me the brand of the rebadged Varta. Our original Varta was replaced with a Bond battery which is conveniently dying just outside of warranty so I would prefer to go back to the original or similar.
    Thanks

    LR have changed to a rebadged AGM battery made by exide

    BH42-10655-BA

    It seems the varta calcium types were not up,to the task.

    Slightly less CCA and Ah. 850/90

    Dealer price in Melbourne was $500 !!!!
