repco car batteries ?

Repco batteries are at the cheaper end of the market (especially with racq discount) but I have bought three of them over time and they performed good. Bob

Definitely made by Century. You can see it on the label. I have had two and they have performed quite well, lasting beyond the 2 years they suggest. Just bought a third last week to replace one of them. No NRMA discounts or savings on batteries at Repco.

I had one fitted to a car 4 years ago, died in less than 3 months. Rang Repco, don't have one in our town. They delivered a replacement to my door and it's been in the car for nearly 4 years now. So I guess that is pretty good service.

Not all Repco batteries are Century. You must look for made in Australia on the battery!
My understanding is that Repco/Century batteries are normal Century, not cheap end units.

I Brought a Repco deep cycle battery to run my Fridge, I got a bit over 3 years out of it and I am hard on batteries often running it past 50 precent,. I was happy with it and will be buying another one before my next trip.

Cheers

A google on Century Batteries I found this as part of their history

1970's

A Century manufacturing plant was established at Wacol in Queensland. Century helped set up a battery factory in Indonesia with a minor shareholding interest.

At the end of the 1970s, Century was taken over by Repco Limited.

As a sign of changing times, Century's hard-rubber container manufacturing plant was closed.

Thank you everyone for your responses it is greatly appreciated and we are very grateful
