I've started avoiding the SC autoparts store, as a regular customer to my local store I tried to make a warranty claim the day after purchasing an item which was poorly manufactured, they put every obstacle they could in my way.

Then there was the, trailer bearing kit that managed to last less than 500Km.

Kmart has 25 percent off Exide this week.

I bought a Supercheap "SCS" marine sls70 for $170. shows 14.5 volts charge on startup, so while down a little it looks good.
And a marine should take the knocks a bit better.

Re Supercharge batteries.
I bought a mf95 (nz77 equiv.) Supercharge, now over 2 yrs. later still performs like new. (came with 2 yr. warranty)
Used as both a starter, fridge power and aux. lights, fully sealed and green sightglass never changes.
It has been as good as any other battery I have had, and never needs water, you cant put any in!
Happy to be corrected, but to my knowledge, Supercheap do not sell Supercharge brand batteries.

Funny, I thought my post was pretty clear.
I was reporting on the Supercharge "allrounder" battery that I bought 14months ago from an auto electrician and Supercharge dealer.
It has completely failed 2 months out of warranty and the dealer has also gone.
I replaced it with a SCS brand from Supercheap .

A Supercharge is not cheap if it fails in 14 months.
My point is that one battery is much like another .
Lets see how the SCS goes.

BTW my "Absorbed Power " AGM is going great guns after 4 years and being constantly charged at over it's designed 20 amps and sitting in a hot engine bay and being subjected to the same vibrations that killed the Supercharge.
So go figgure, as they say.
