Hey All,
Just out of curiosity is there much difference between battery quality. For instance between an RACV Super Heavy Duty and say a Kmart version or whatever?

Considering the price. You can't go past a Bosch S3 24 months warranty, or step it up to an S4 to get 36months warranty.
Walked into supercheap the other day and saw the 'supercharge' batteries with 12 months warranty for $10 less then the Bosch S3's that I sell. Or you could have bought a Century from them for $60 more then the bosch. |

Yeah my RACV one shat itself in under a year and RACV won't honor there warranty... Not happy.
Sounds like the "Extra", might give it a shot. It has a better CCA then the RACV one anyway...
