AGM Batteries where in Melb

I would recommend Battery World, Wantirna. Talk to Chris the owner.

Not all Batt World stores are the same. They are franchised and the deal and advice you get depoends on the franchisee. Chris is a top bloke.

No affiliation, just a satisfied customer, as have been all those I have recommended him to.

You get different grades of AGM batts, and most made in China, I recently researched this and found that battery world not cheap and keeps middle of road quality, I ended up getting a USA military spec concorde 104 A/hr for $425 from a dedicated solar elec supllier in Perth, apparently (I could have been misled) this batt has twice life span of a normal AGM.
Who knows what is put in the Chinese batteries?

If you have Bias Boating and Whitworths stores down there, they both recently had 100AH AGMs at a reasonable price. Around $330 from memory.
I've been running Chinese made AGMs for 4 years. Currently have 4 x Fullriver 120 AH, 1 x Remco 90 AH and 1 x IEB 100 AH. All giving great service, including the original two, which are now 4 years old. In terms of value for money, it is hard to go past them.

The battery worlds I went to did'nt have the USA brands such as Concorde, and did not have any AGM batteries that I was interested in buying, I remember thinking, OK nothing here for me, and left.

This is only my point of view, to be honest I know very little about batteries and had to be guided by the info I could find on the net or glean from others,but I tried to buy something that would last as they are expensive regardless of where they are made.

BTW I now have to buy abattery for another application, I am putting together a plate aluminium boat, and need a starting/deep cycle battery, so the hunt starts again.

I got two Supercharge 90 A/H AGM's from Supercharge Batteries 18 months back for $180 each (inc GST) This was between between $40 - $120 cheaper than I'd found elsewhere. Have both in the vehicle. They are at 545 Somerville Rd, Sunshine Vic. Tel 03 93101995.

Batteries performing well.

When i wanted one ABR weren't stocking batteries so i went to the link they provided ie: http://linux.supercharge.com.au/ & found my local stockist in Melb (R&E Autos in Heidelberg for me). Got an Amptech AT121200-SC (120Ah AGM) for $325 (which i believe is a rebadged Dahua FM12-120).

Some measurements etc provided on the Supercharge website & also at www.dahua-battery.com

fyi .. I notice that it is very hard to find anything actually saying "AGM" on these websites & they generally only refer to "deep cycle" ..... mmmmmmmmmm

Have a loook atbatteryguru Always got specials going and easy to deal with.

Just bought two Fullriver 100amp/hr AGM's from Battery Stop 1488 Hume Highway Campbellfield yesterday at $300 each.
Battery Stop

Try ALCO in Keilor East. They have always had good prices and used to stock Fullriver.
