My battery is now 9 years old and is getting a bit long in the tooth. Will start the car fine on cold below freezing mornings if I wait for the glow plug cycle but despite owning diesels for over 15 years it is something I still forget and of course the old battery does then have trouble cranking the engine which then fires up with a few fault codes that clear once the engine is running.

Thanks for that - googled the relavant Varta battery - has a good 100ah but the 830cca seems a bit light on but it is a AGM vs a Calcium battery. Price is a bit exxy at $495 though.

Looks like it might be the Supercharge battery - I made the mistake of going to Battery World this afternoon and of course their listed battery for a RRS is only 650cca so too small. They had a Varta but they wanted $550 for it where the Supercharge only costs $10 to post.

Actually was out looking yesterday - the Battery Factory want $285 for the Suoercharge which I guess is an OK price - their book listed battery whatever it is is only 700cca - too low in my view.

Decisions, decisions - the Suoercharge for $285 or the Federal for $350. All agree the Federal is the better battery but is it $65 better?
