you would have to go to the cat australia website and have a look around. i think you can purchase online if your registered or something.
im not entirely sure, i just went to the place, cause it wasnt 250 km away :P

maybe they can deliver? if you ring them they might be able to help..

cheers, andy

I got a Battery from all purpose batteries on ebay. got to say ive been happy with it for a cheap battery. Cost me $150 for their top one (got it for the price of the normal range as i picked it up). they called that model the challenger 790 cca.

Its only been in the truck for 4 months so far but its been sweet, left the lights on came back and no issues, if i forget to take it out of gear AND forget to take the hand brake off before starting it :oops: (not just once im afraid) it will start the car easily.
