Now that I look at the Pirahna site, it doesn't look like online sales,.
They are sold via eBay by another company at around the $170 mark.
The Superior ones also look to be Pirahna - same pictures - so go with them, postage should also be less from them to you.

Shame you don't live around Ipswich Brisbane, you can go to Century batteries at Carole Park and buy seconds. They have scratches or or moulding deformities on them for a song!!

I got a marine battery that retails for $220 for $120 same size as a NZ70 or 100amh. :) I use this for my dual setup.

I paid $39 for a solenoid from a local Auto joint 3yrs ago, and is still working fine! :cool:

Have a look at battriesdirect.com.au I bought a optoma yellow D34 from the for $322 bucks, cheapest I could find. Went to my local batteryworld and they quoted $420 for the same battery.

That's a great price for a D34!

I bought one a few weeks ago and paid $350 for a D34 and $360 for a D31A which batteriesdirect.com.au have for $444 on their website.

I found Battery World would only quote me the list price.

There's very small margins in battery trays so I doubt you can get much better that around $170-195 dependant on model.
IMO Piranha make the best trays, just over priced

What vehicle, year and engine?
different manufactures products vary model to model.. some piranha ones i wouldn't recommend.

Does anyone know if they still do this out there? And also does anyone know if they are open on Saturday mornings?
