I need some assistance in getting in contact with the Battery World retailer in Mentone, my problem is i have a remco 100ah battery and its on its last legs.
When i realsied i had a problem the battery had discharged with a 60l evacool fridge from full charge (i think) to 12.3 volts in 3hrs at this stage i disconected the fridge (lucky its a evacool filled the sucker with ice)
When i measured the battery in the morning it was 11.7v i've currently got the bat on a c-tec 15a charger, been on now for 3 hours has not moved off 25% full.
I've been abel to get in contact with BW lilydale and a very helpful bloke by the name of Glen, but even with his best efforts i'm still stuck.
As i'm heading to Tassie tomorrow at 9am i would like to fix the problem now. The only BW outlets in Tas are in the south.
Am i right in saying that Federal Batteries in Sydney supply remco if so does any one know some one that stocks in the north of Tas.
And talk about luck i guess (look on the bright side), got 20 days left on warranty.

Regards.......Stephen

Battery World has a National Number 131760.

Ryde Batteries do have the Remco but if you can, put in A Decca Sea Mate of Equivalent size as they are made by East Penn USA and stack up as good as a Lifeline for a lot less dollars than Lifeline and are superior to the Remco.

Thanks Ian,
Tried the number again thought i might have missed something in the pre recording but i didn't.
What is a ruff price guide for these batts, say 100ah fits in the hole, do you think i can swap a remco for a Deka? guess its up to the supplier.

Regards.......Stephen.
