Perth battery suppliers

[gshannon]

Gday guys, I just bought a 120AH sealed battery from Goodchilds in Jandakot, I haven't seen them spoken much of around here so I thought I would spread the word.

I paid $264 (gst incl), which is $4 more than the 105 AH Supercharge Amp-Tech avail from Battery World and Auto One. Their equivalent 100 AH was $228.80, very good value imho, especially since I will be using it as a tax claim and wont pay any gst

Their website is http://www.goodchild.com.au/

I am not affiliated with them in any way, I heard of them through happy customers on perth 4x4 forum

If you know of any other good suppliers in Perth, spread the word here!

they must have moved because on the website it says they're in osborne park???

i was there today, and its in osborne park...

they have never sold that type of battery before and have never retailed them.

you have clearly confused yourself with another company...

 

[gshannon]

Had the wrong link, sorry for confusion

 

[maddogrc]

does the 120Ah fit in a standard battery tray?

the only 120's they had were a size bigger then standard

 

[gshannon]

Not sure as I mounted mine in a battery box in the tub.
Specs can be found here RBW12-120

 

[maddogrc]

bugger its longer then standard

looks like i'll have to go with a 105Ah one then hmm

1 year warranty isnt it?

 

[gshannon]

I cant remember exactly what they said, but the invoice clearly states they will repair or replace within the specified period from date of purchase.

They defiantly stocked the 100 AH as i had them quote that one first and that was $228

 

[gshannon]

Pretty sure that will be this one http://www.federalbatteries.com.au/RM12-100/

Not sure why one is named RBW and the other Remco but otherwise they look very similar

 

[maddogrc]

did they tell you how your warranty is void if the original car batt is a lot older then the new batt?

basically mixing new and old causes the old batt to bring down the newer batt. also being AGM they apparently dont like heat and they sell a heat shield that slides over them! lol
