I have just purchased a new Fullriver AGM Deep Cycle battery and was informed that there is about to be a price increase shortly. I don't know how much but it prompted me to get one now.

I've heard that rumour for 6 months now and haven't seen a price rise. I bought one from Geetek in Geelong at a steal , 120AH for around $220 delivered, great product at a great price, can't go wrong.

I was at my autoelec today and he warned me that batterys were going up by 10% as of 1st Jan 07.

Guess it must be true.

I purchased a 100ah Fullriver AGM for $196 the other week and there was no suggestion then of any pending price rises which is not to say a rise isnt on the way. I thought thatwas a reasonable price for the battery.

I too have been given no indications from my suppliers that there will be an increase. In fact I am buying stock of batteries cheaper now than 6 months ago.

Volume my have something to do with it.
