My car battery shit itself this morning, 1 month out of warranty,  I got cheap as mate was a rep, so no receipt. so cant do claim as moved 1200km away.

  Anyway, was speaking to the Battery guy up here and he said just about All batteries are made in Korea now, I asked about Century batteries in Qld, He said only the N7 & N9 ( most popular ) are made in Australia,  well at assembled in Oz. He said the casings are made Overseas.

Speedzter, see above what the battery bloke told me when I got my SSB, I followed his advise, 12 months on and so far so good, time as they say, will tell.

Copy on the china thing, wasn't a shit fight a year ago, most things you pick up and turn over have you know what printed on the label, gunna be a tough divorce! 

Go on, someone has to go first :)

Just had to buy a new battery for the 2008 CVO Springer 110cube.

A few cold nights here in Perth (3C) were pushing the battery to the lower limit, slow to throw over ( but never failed).

Bike been on a battery fighter Junior tender at least 4 days per week. ( gets swapped to other vehicles on a roster basis)

Once the bike had been on a run even just 20 K's then 100% OK. Starting was all good.

In the past the bike would be ridden maybe 3/4 times weekly, 8 K's to work three days plus a Saturday run.

Last couple of years , usually only once for a Saturday morning run due to changed parking facilities/safety at work.

50 K's+ round trip as a minimum. Last weekend 160Km round trip, Beautiful 27C day.

BUT you don't want to get caught out. The "slow" battery was well over 6 years old.

Brand new original HD part # 66000207 was $177.95 in my hand from Highway Harley in Perth.

Seemed a good price to me. Now the bike JUMPS into life , I had persevered with the "oldy" for too long methinks.

Just got an SSB for my Ironhead, haven't put it in yet. The mechanic who was doing work on it told me not to bother with any other brands. I've run Motobatt in every other bike I've had though and never had an issue with them.
