Hope is not the alternator.

Cheers.

Good child doesn’t have them in stock, reckon most are out of stock for this size. They have some other own brands Alectro or something like that.

What price were you quoted?
It’s more than just “size”.

Alektro? One year warranty?

Only use an AGM.

Din85L doesn’t have anywhere near the required CCA or RC. I cannot believe they even recommended them.

Varta or SSB would be the only ones I’d consider.

I suggest contacting this guy and seeing when he will have stock.

Sent a message.

Which varta do you recommend.

Can’t get the car to even crank, so a supplier in Perth is best.

Can’t even crank with the hvt50D using jumper’s.

Varta G14 is the right one

Couldnt source either of those options, so I went with an Exide Evolution SSAGM-88EU Start/Stop 850CCA, 160RC, 92AH from Battery Plus.
