Do you know of any dealers selling supercharge? Website says to call 1300-battery to get a list of dealers. Isn't 1300 a pay per minute number? Or was is 1900?

Aaronng: 1300 is usually 25c fixed nationally (depending on the fixed phone plan you're on). 190x is the pay per minute number range.

Adagio - the Battery Fighter Junior is cheaper from Batteryworld. Or at least it was, they don't have a comprehensive online catalogue.

It senses when the battery needs a top up charge and goes ahead automatically and charges the battery very slowly. I used it on the Euro when I was away for 5 weeks. Now it does duty charging my Ride On Mower and the back up battery for my tyre pump. It is called a Battery Fighter Junior Model BFJ-012-230 Fully Automatic charging system. It costs about $47.00 from JaCar or possibly Dick Smith's.

Err - I don't think you read the whole thread.

This is the same for me when I had the 03 Euro Lux - sometimes it wouldn't start even after six or seven cranks and I thought the battery was dead!! and at that time the Euro was only about a year old!

Yfin, I have the ACDelco catalog, and in it there is a list of competing battery brands and their equivalent part number. ACDelco S55B24LS = Supercharge MF55B24LS. I have the Supercharge catalog as well. In it, it lists the Supercharge Gold for the S2000 and Odyssey, also MF55B24LS. There is no regular Supercharge battery in that same size. If you want Supercharge, your only choice is the Gold.

Thanks Aaron - in terms of calling Supercharge - are you planning to get a new battery? If you do please let me know the rough price of the Gold - it is hard for me to call them from Hungary.

By the way - did we ever find out the CCA of the OEM battery fitted to the vechicle from the factory?

MF55B24LS
that's the supercharge gold one, very simliar to the acdelco.
