After listening to my 'doof doof' stereo for an hour or so I always find my battery to be either flat or extreamly low.
I am fed up with the bloody thing being flat; so it is time to upgrade
The current battery is non serviceable..The new one MUST BE SERVICEABLE (I believe that the non servicable ones are not ment to last)
I only have one battery as i don't have room for a dual battery setup.
I do not know how old the current battery is, as it was in the bundy when I bought it.
The aux' devices that require battery include:
UHF Radio
Sony CD Player
2x100WRMS Subwoofer Amp
Car Alarm
Driving Lights (100w)
Mobile Phone Charger
What brands and models should I be looking at?
What specs like "cold cranking amps should I look at?
You obviously get what u pay for so how many $$ should I spend?
Is there anything that I should look out for?
Any advice is most appreciated,
Cheers,
Nick

dont know how much it helps, however ive heard that conventional batteries, i.e: the 50 dollar kmart jobs, are only able to be run to dead fla around 3 times at the most. Just a rumour i heard on the grape vine

I have had a red top for a couple of years and its the best battery Ive ever had. Pricey but worth every penny.

I don't know much about different model Bunderas, but have a look here:

A dual battery set up would be best for you with a deep cycle battery hooked up to power all your auxillary and stereo gear. Other than that, go for the biggest battery you can fit into the current location- maybe even look at replacing the standard tray with a larger one if you've got space?

Look at all of the options before going to duel batterys and if thats the way you go, have a really good look around at what you want and how much you want to pay. Don't go just to Piranha and get a kit. I have a mate who had exactly the same problem with his nissan being his work car and having the radio on on worksites listening to it. He has had it back to piranha so many times it's not funny and cost about $600 and my setup which cost about $100 + a battery has never let me down. I just run a solinoid that disconnects the starting battery when the ignitiion is turned off. (simple, reliable, cheap), WHAT SORT OF SHODDY DUEL BATTERY SYSTEM IS A PIRANAH WHEN YOU STILL NEED JUMPER LEADS TO START YOUR CAR WHEN ONE OF THE BATTERYS GO FLAT AFTER THEY INSTALL IT.
ASK AROUND AND GET EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANT (Possibly even from your local auto elec for bugger all). Don't go to Piranha and let them tell you what you need.

Bundera, if you decide to do a dual battery set up check out my "budget" system here:

If you can solder, you can have a top notch controller for under $50!
