Well it seems the winter cold has finally killed my battery,

Has been on the way out for a while now (having problems starting after a few days of not driving) but I think the cold weather over the last couple of days was the straw that broke the camels back.

My question is what battery’s are you guys running, just need something strong and reliable. I am not running any audio equipment and don’t want to fork out for a yellow top or similar high performance battery.

So what’s your recommendations???

Cheers in advance.

Super Charge Gold maintenance-free FTW. Honda rebadges them as OEM replacement battery, 36 months factory warranty. :thumbsup:

Ty for the responses guys.

Seems Supercharge Gold is the go and if it costs $90-110 to get and comes with a 36 month warranty that’s cheap motoring.

If you're near Bankstown or Bass hill. Try Dodgy Bros at Hector St Bass Hill. The Supercharge gold batteries there are reasonable price.
