Thread: need new starting battery

I run the big Optima Blue Top D31M

i use yellow top very happy with taht, how is the blue top thought about using that once the yellow top gives up the ghost

I usually supply the OE Delkor 900CCA for the Td5 defenders/Discos.
It is the same as the genuine battery, which lasts for ages.
I have had a good run out of these, and recently replaced one that had gone 7 years in a D2.

About $240.

I can attest to the longevity of the factory D2 Td5 batteries - I've just replaced mine in my 99 Disco. I went for a Century 850CCA as a replacement as they're widely regarded as being one of the most reliable brands, although I've heard good things about Optima too...

well i've only had the car for just over 3 1/2 years and its only a bit over 4 years old from time of manufacture would have been nice to get 7 years out of it!

HI,I have just replaced the battery in my defender,with one from supercharge,I got the all rounder,very good battery...thy give a discount to AULRO members,I think I paid $154.00 includes GST.........there a wholesaler over at Acacia ridge,I can find the address if you are interested

I just replaced my batterys in the rangie i got 1 allrounder and one gold maintance free jobs with the AULRO discount i saved a packet

Tho im not verry happy with the allrounder tho i think i may have got a dud its going back on monday to be checked out as it has lost alot of its capacity as it will only hold my fridge overnight before it cuts off with low voltage and its claimed to be a 120 A/H battery and its only 3 months old

Exide Orbital - have two of them with an SC80 DBC in the Defender. Working very well as a setup...
