If you need a new 12V battery...

Post by SocialGeoff » Mon Dec 01, 2014 5:19 pm

If your battery is stuff...go get a new one from the warehouse for RACQ which is located on the same street as Stratco on Sandgate Road..not on the service road in front of Stratco but the road on the northern side of Stratco...they have seconds but new 12v for around $35 ...and then take the old battery to Simsmetal Crockford Street Banyo...and get $0.49 a kilo for the old one...so my old battery weighed 13kg...so got $6.50 back....so a new battery cost me $29 approx....hope this info helps someone

Thanks for the heads-up Geoff.

These would be cranking batteries? Not the best for running appliances but you can't argue with the price!
Cheers, Ern

Yeah that's what the battery is...but with 120W solar panel attach to it full time I should get a fair run out it...will keep a eye out for a better quality one but will do for the time been..
Will tell you how long it last too
