That or the big yellow optima, being an AGM it will have faster recharge capability

On that cat website, have a look around and find the dealer locator, select Australia and type in sydney, it will then pop up with the answers you seek!
Pretty sure there is a bloke on the forum, in the sydney area (has a 60 series IIRC) that works at a cat dealership, he may pipe up and could be able to sort something for you.

is that through william adams?Mudzuki wrote:It would be nice if that price was still current! Unless your getting a trade price?
Got quoted $208 + gst. Still a lot better than the prices on optimas at the moment.
I got that price about 3 months ago from hasting deering. But as you said, its still waaaay cheaper than an optima.

we looked at these, but they were expensive as and they are only marginally better than the cat.chimpboy wrote:The Odyssey PC2150 seems appealing.
I found a price at Extreme Batteries in Lilydale - $580 inc.
Went to Battery World to see their price - a princely "about $750."
Does anyone have any other suggested sources?
1090CCA and 100Ah vs 1000cca and 90Ah

Hey chimpboy, i found lillydale to be the best place when i was looking. Im pretty sure he might be the importer. When i bought mine he tested infront of me to show it was good and told me how to look after it.
It has no problems running my stereo all night and the fridge for 4 days straight and still started no worries.
Full warranty for offroad which was important for me specially when optima wouldnt come to the party when i had 2 fail in 6 months (yellow + red). I havnt seen a higher cranking deep cycle battery yet apart from the higher up oddysee's.

Nothing secret about the pricing. Just a few battery retailers get upset at the prices.... and I like to ensure that the courier delivery is also included.
But eg.
Optima D27M (800cca, 66ah, 305x127x225) Blue Top Dual Purpose, RRP $475.00 Offer to Outers @ $388 + freight

Kmart tend to have random 25% off car stuff days without advertising.

For me, the battery area is enclosed and shows signs of acid damage due to the battery that's in there now, so I am keen on a fully sealed.Mudzuki wrote:The one listed is a Maintenance Free Battery, still has caps though.chimpboy wrote: Is the cat a fully sealed battery? It looked venty to me.
Cat do offer other batteries with no vent caps, upto 1500cca, but they are large
