Seriously, though, I've been getting a good run out of Supercharge batteries over the last 5 years or so.

Century are Aussie made and seem good.

Supercharge...

It's a bit like asking what's the best oil or what's the best beer everyone will have a different idea based on personal experience.

Personally......I've always looked at the casing first. If it looks poorly/cheaply made the contents will probably be the same.
Then I go for a calcium sealed battery with at least 3 years warranty.

Supercharge seem to be rated highly but I've always used Delkor. I have a few that are 7-8years old, after doing service on the Defender or Territory they pass to one of the Series vehicles (which aren't used much).

I did have a battery fail on the Territory while away from home and got a Bosch calcium battery fitted. Failed within 18months but was replaced FOC, of course it had failed at home so I purchased a Delkor to get the car moving and now have a spare Bosch battery that will come in handy at some point (it's regularly charged).

I like Optima batteries and have used 3 blue tops on the Defender and find them to be excellent
Tried Bosch calcium and found they last the warranty period

I’ve used Delcors for years without issue. Have them in pretty much everything now.

6 years out of one that was in my old Camry when I bought it. About 4 1/2 years out of the one that was the Mrs. D2 when I bought it. The Camry's gone, The Mrs. D2 has another Supercharge battery, my old 20 footer runs 2 new ones and the replacement battery for the Camry now resides in my 12 foot tinny and cops all of the discharge / recharge plus smacking around that life in a tinny can offer.
