    Their Website says 24 mth warranty. Typo?

    I replaced mine with an Exide Extreme XN70ZZMF Battery. Cost is about $200 on Ebay if you live in Melbourne. Whilst I look at the specs one of them I was told tells a lot more about a battery than anything else. And that is its weight. Cheaper batteries can match the more expensive but because of less weight there is often less capacity.Mind you I know nothing about this claim but just for instance the batteries mentioned above weigh 22.0kg My extreeme battery weighs 23.8kg. Also has a good warranty.

    That’s confusing. I’ve just checked their warranty conditions Warranty Guide and in a starter battery application the SSB i-Start AGM has 36 month warranty. This reduces to 24 months if used in a vehicle with stop-start. It looks like they are using an old photo indicating a 42 month warranty.

    Well battery finally died today, on a Sunday.
    Managed to get Supercharge from Autobarn.
    Straight in and off and running.
    Thanks for help.

    Those ssb specs are good, yes the weight cuts through all the bull **** when it comes to a battery. The ssb is heavier then the supercharge,

    I’ve just replaced mine with another Varta H3 on the advise of the chap at Battery World. He advised against AGM. He said they weren’t as tolerant to heat.

    The 2.7 D3/4 were not originally designed for AGM,have no BMS,although can be fitted with AGM batteries.Mine had one fitted by dealer under warranty.It lasted 4.5 yrs.

    The D4 3.0l was designed for AGM,and has the BMS,variable voltage alternator,etc.
