Well it was finally time to replace the battery on my Corolla and found this to be the cheapest option.
I actually walked in as this was the only place open after 5 and was surprised at the price difference vs what I could find online. I was like what is the catch.
Still if you are looking for a new battery check out these guys.. Great service as well.
Long time
Runnng
Wow that's great
Yeh something tells me that’s not the case anymore

You might be right. Suspect it's still cheaper than this deal though. They've been remarkably cheap in my experience. They say they make money on volume.
Might be worth giving them a bell first before going there
Curious if such deals are applicable to EVs as well, since I think EVs run off a 12V or 16V smaller battery too.
Every car has a 12V battery including Teslas. I think the one in this deal actually fits a Model 3 (but don't quote me on that)
Ok, but if someone says they have an EV that "runs off" 12v that does make it sound like they have a toy car. (personally i wouldnt call that "running off")
I also wasnt being that serious….
Certainly don’t quote this guy. Many new Tesla use a 16V lion battery
@maxwellian: Yes, newer ones run at a slightly higher voltage, but this is still the correct battery for an Intel-based Model 3 which does use a 12v lead acid battery.
Any ideas where to sell the old battery for cash? I heard of discounts only, like this one, but not cash.
You'll get a few bucks from scouts recycling (in sa at least). They weigh them.
Be aware of the marketing on these. Touted as 'Australian' but the manufacturer is far from it. These are not made in Australia.
I'm not sure I follow what you mean?
Century Yuasa are one of the few Australian based manufacturers of batteries - operating their manufacturing facility at Carole Park in Queensland (employing ~600 people). Are you suggesting the blue and yellow batteries by Century Yuasa are actually imported whole and have a sticker placed on them saying made in australia?
Where are these batteries made if not in Carole Park in QLD?
These are not made in Australia.
Despite the massive Australian made logo on the front? Souce?
"As a registered certification trademark, the Australian Made logo can only be used on products that are registered with the not-for-profit Australian Made Campaign Ltd, and which meet the criteria set out in the Australian Consumer Law and the AMAG Logo Code of Practice.
The rules for using the certification trade mark require that, in Australia, it must always be used with one of the following four descriptors: Product of Australia, Australian Made, Australian Grown, Australian Seafood or Australian (In export markets only)."
False
I drive pass their factory everyday.

How'd ya know this had been posted?
It was posted over two hours ago, the Wajahat account is not new with a number of posts/deals, so it does not look very suspicious.
You can set alerts for deals containing key words of your choosing
Its funny as I usually check OZB every day as a morning ritual, was surprised to see batteryzone here :)
10% website offers 15% sooo
How much do they normally charge for "battery fitting"? 😅
We don’t charge anything for any car, although Ford and many euro car do need quite an effort and time
Yeah, Ford is the worst when it comes to that. Why do they set it up that way? It's a hassle even if you just want to disconnect the battery for a few weeks for travel
I price beat a store on the other side of the country at SCA last month for $168.
How much does SCA price beat by? I couldn’t see details of their policy other than statements of price beat.
$1 apparently
Century better then supercharge?
Not sure of Supercharge but we have SSB which is similar to century but made in Korea

Been mentioned on a few deals.
Costco also has Exides and has regular sales at large discounts for members, but don't install. A search on this site will find some of those sales for timing.
Costco usually has very affordable batteries.
