cant really say how old, I needed a battery in the remote town I live, went to the westrac agent they had a look but couldnt find one to suit, I noticed one up the very back of the shelve that looked right, we got it out and when they looked it up it wasnt on there computers, said it had prob been ordered wrong and that I could have it for free, thats was two years ago, of trouble free use, this last two weeks I have had to jump it a couple of times and I can hear what sounds like gas seeping out occasionally, like I said, I would def buy another, going back to the agent on friday to sort one out.

It could of been on there shelf for years before you got it

Just an up date I got a n70zz equivalent yesterday was a bit skeptical as its only 675 cca and the old one was 700cca any how on a closer look the 675cca is at -18c where as my understanding is cca is rated at 0 deg so long story short it spins the 300 over like it's nothing. I'm stoked for the price of $130 clams

It's an 8c-3601 that's the cat p/n With out checking the measurements I think you could fit one of there 1000cca battery's under the seat but I have two n70zz size battery's instead
