I got my batteries from Challenge Batteries in Osborne Park.. In Burgay Court I think it was, right at the end.

Avoid Battery World, unless you can haggle well.

We just picked one up from Battery World in Mandurah and have used them previously in a couple of their Perth locations - bit torn between ' reasonable price' & 'reasonable quality' but haven't heard of a problem with Batteries Plus so far.

Was tempted to get a Caterpillar unit - very reasonable price, but my boss had problems with his so I passed up that option - but his may have let him down as a result of the way he used it - someone else may have had a happier result with that brand.

Good luck - regards, Phil

The Caterpillar batteries are really good, but when they decide to die, they give no warning, a bit like us humans I suppose.

I replaced mine from Battery Force Pinjarra Rd Mandurah / Barragup
I was given a good price without too much haggling.

BTW they also have a special price on Engels.

We purchased our Fullriver caravan batteries from Challenge Batteries. Good service and batteries still going strong since 2008. Now that is good value.
