[Euro] Replacement battery suggestions

**racerwannabe** · 03-11-2008 10:16 AM

Thanks Traumatized and Daz.

I was looking at the AC Delco as an alternative. The first local dealer i rang gave me a quote of $170! I will try other places as well but it seems like there's a huge jump in prices of batteries recently.

If you know a place that sells good batteries at a reasonable price can you please share it with the rest of us.

If you are in Sydney, try giving Rick Damelien a call. Their replacement batteries are AC Delco.

Supercharge is just around the corner from where I work. LOL. Not sure if they sell direct though.

I just found this out last week. haha, at least now I know where to send ppl to get Supercharge batteries. I still rather send ppl to the small self-owned shops. Reasonable prices and keeps the shop alive.

Agree with your 2nd suggestion, self owned and cheaper prices.

Thanks Aaron.

I rang Supercharge head office and the guy (Tony) told me that the RRP of the Gold is $148.50. They also sell direct to the public through their head office at Blacktown (new location). So, expect to pay ~$150 for the supercharge gold from now on.

Ok guys the $150 i've been quoted for the Supercharge Gold is for MF75D23L which is larger than the stock battery and as i understand from previous posts is not right model for the euro.

So, you need give the shop the specific model no. which is MF55B24LS which i suspect will be cheaper compared to the MF75D23L and explains the $100 price people here have paid a couple of years ago.
