    Terminals are reversed:

    HVT-50LD Dual Purpose VRLA (AGM) Battery - Superstart Batteries

    HVT-50D Dual Purpose VRLA (AGM) Battery - Superstart Batteries

    Also - the CTEK manual for the MXS 5.0 with "reconditioning" option actually states in the instructions for "Recon" mode to "Use to return energy to the empty WET and Ca/Ca batteries". It does not say to use this mode for AGM batteries, even though the table showing "CHARGING PROGRAMS AND OPTIONS COMBINATIONS" does appear to indicate that you can run the "Recon" program step with AGM batteries.

    Like I said, it has a recon feature for AGM. I'll leave it at that.

    Just had my SSB 88Ti 1180 CCA battery tested yesterday afternoon, it is down to about 530 CCA. Got onto to them about it and initially they stated it was only a 24 month warranty but that is for a start / stop vehicle, the D3 is not that. Once they understood that they agreed it is a 36 month warranty and will replace it.

    Happy days.

    Thanks for that Narangga. I understand these 50D are not intended for starting duty for that I need the ssb88ti. Is that a correct assumption?

    No problem - you believe what you like. It's not my battery that is dead after "re-conditioning".

    I'm of the same opinion.

    Recon should NOT be used on AGMs

    I had one that didn't make 24 months from memory, but didn't chase it up.

    It was stamped for 36 months warranty, I was pretty disappointed.

    From what I understand (and others on the forum have done) yes the SSB88ti is the starter. Cheap as down your way and worth half a mortgage to have one shipped up here
