Slightly bigger than stock as its for the 03 model only, but it will fit other Euro models, so you need to lose the bottom battery tray, but its 610CCA. :)
guessing your running heavy audio equipment???
i wouldnt classify it as heavy audio....id say just a few minor upgrades. :p
My mech also have solite ones, which is cheap but the size is different and not the one I wanted. Went to repco, autobahn, supercheap around my place and most of them only carry those non-maintenance free type.
So where do I get these batteries from Melbourne? Looking to spend around $100.... been searching & hard to find retailers
Autobarn is where i got my SuperchargeGold from. Think the normal 450CCA is $115 and the 610CCA is $159.
After reading though this thread i thought i would share some previous research i have done with supercharge batteries (i know people who sell them which is how i gathered the info).
you can either use the MF75D23L OR the MF55B24LS depending on year model according to the application manual. I know that it is possible to fit both of these to the euro and that is why they have listed both.
The MF75D23L RRP is $167.20 inc GST which is what the Supercharge battery warehouse should sell them at. But you should find a reseller retailing for less then that. The MF55B24LS RRP is $145.20 inc GST which is the same deal as the one above.
Both have a 3 year warranty and my mate tells me that supercharge are very good with their warranty process.
As stated before both of these batteries are full maintenance free with the MF55B24LS cranking at 450 CCA and the MF75D23L cranking at 610 CCA.
As for the early posts saying that once a battery goes flat it is stuffed i can assure you that is very untrue. I have had a few die on me that have been bought to life with a good charger and they are like new again!
Anyone got any queries i can ask my mate any questions you may have..
I got an 04 Luxury thats still running its original battery.
It ran flat 2 weeks ago because i turned the xenons on without the motor being on (stupid me).
Got it jump started and it's accepting charge.
It's a wet-cell battery and it's showing signs that it needs to be replaced (one of the cells dry out quickly), and it needs more cranks to get the motor going.
I need advice on which battery I should go for?
My mech recommended the OEM battery (can't remember its name), he also said wet-cell is much better for the Euro.
any opinions/advice? Thanks.
go with supercharge, ac delco
something with more charge than the stock 330CCA.
