Thread: Which Battery For RRS

Hi Rich,
This is the one I got, as you say seems fine so far, the proof off the pudding I suspect will be later in life. I'm in the Supercheap club and managed to get mine sub $200 on sale, plus I think the chick on the counter wanted to get home, it was late in the day. I'm a bit paranoid now though knowing it isn't the right one..........

I reckon it will be ok as long as it works , probably as good as anything else at the end of the day . . Al

I recently changed out my RRS battery. My old battery seemed OK for starting but it would show HDC fault imessages on cold starts.

Used a Varta Silver DIN88 High Case 830CCA 100AH. No more fault messages
Cost was $ 246.36 plus GST from Challenge Batteries WA

Hi Nomad, I don't think there'll be any problems with it - DIN8x is the standard size for these cars so whether it's 85 or 88 shouldn't make a difference, only to the CCA. Like I said the starter turns over as easily as ever. Century are a good brand and I've always used their batteries, albeit in cars that were certainly less fickle.

hi im in the same position my sport just lapsed warranty and ive only found the varta h3 830 to date, but im worried its a bit small for the job. $650 for the lr battery in coffs or $330 for the farta, a few places said it MUST be oem if i want the same spec as there isnt another on the market. Any help? H

Yep, Just today had my original 950cca Varta replaced under warranty by LR. A new Exide AGM 850cca was dropped in.

Do you have a model number - might need one for the D4... assuming they are ok for the D4?
