Thread: AGM battery seems a good deal

I have been researching to buy a new second battery for my RRC. Currently has a 90AH "Absorbed Power" AGM which has lasted 6 years but price has increased to $369.
I checked Battery World and prices similar and Fullrivers on Ebay are around $330 delivered.
I saw a new seller on ebay with "CMA" branded batteries for starting $169 and Buy it now $199. I did some research and CMA appears to be a very large chinese battery maker. I got a 95 AH for $175 plus $46 freight, which is a LOT cheaper than the normal AGM price or even a flooded battery price.

I guess it is a lottery whether the battery will last but the price is certainly very attractive and the maker seems genuine.
I have not listed the seller here so if you are wanting a battery look on ebay and do the research.

I too have bought Chinese made products (eg Solar panels) on Ebay, and have been very please with them. Also bought generator at about 1/6th the price of Honda. If it only lasts a year I could buy another 5 for the same price as that Honda.

Unknown to us a lot of products are from China and we don't even know.

Good luck with the battery and may it have a long life
