Before you buy, ask the shop if warranty is handled direct with supercharge or through the shop. The shop that sold the Supercharge Gold in Melb handled warranty in the shop itself. So it was all good. With most manufacturers, if you have a return-to-base warranty, it is troublesome.

Are Alco batteries any good?

The dude reckons they are good quality 400cca Calcium batteries that rarely fail. They have 3years warranty and most of the returned ones that failed just need a good recharge, then they are good as gold.

If they are fully drained, they will never be like new again. Same thing as with all the calcium batteries like AC Delco and Supercharge gold. If the price is below $100, then they are ok. Otherwise, I'd rather AC Delco (430CCA) or Supercharge Gold (450CCA)

True, which is hard having a decent sound system lol. Anyway, it has a 3-year warranty so its all good. The price was a bit more than $100 but with the 3-year wty and extra CCA, its worth it over the stock panasonic batt..

3-year warranty is pro-rated. Don't rely on it 100% to justify your purchase. :)

I was quoted $155 for the Supercharge Gold. It seems a bit high compared to the price people have posted. If you know of a place in Sydney that sells these batteries cheaper can you please posted their details here. Cheers.

i think the supercharge gold prices have gone up, if you are in the south west give meakong auto spares a call they sell it there.

i think mekong was cheaper but when i asked autoone they quoted around $140ish.

couple of years ago aaronng and euroaccord13 got them for $110 or so but yeh... call around.

Otherwise when you see a supercharge van around, carjack it.... :p and hope they have one of the batts your looking for. J/K

Note: Only reason why i didn't get supercharge gold was that when i called to ask for distributors around they weren't helpful and weren't friendly. Only told me Autoone, asked for other distributors, they said "i dont know".
