Need info on battery

Hey guys I was just sent this coupon that reduces the NP85R500 to $79. Does anyone run these? Experiences or recommendations on replacement batteries for my FF?

Thanks!

Welcome to the forum.

No had no experience with those but would it not come with some sort of warranty anyway?

With a two year warranty it seems a pretty safe buy for the money. I wouldn't see you getting 10 years out of it but for that price you can't really expect to.

Maintenance free, 550cca. Better then what you would have now (if you have an OEM battery).

Meh for $85 why not? If you want to go with a good trusted brand which do good batteries check out Century, and they're made in Australia too.

That gives me an idea, we should have a thread or something that lists all the Australian made parts we could or should use when servicing or modifying our vehicles.

We won't be able to buy Aussie made cars, but we can still get some parts made here

Feel free to start a thread in General Discussion, sounds like a good idea. If it gets enough response we can make it a sticky.

They're actually good quality batteries too, Id rank them top of the list for your normal starting batteries, and they have a good range of semi deep cycle batteries too (Century Marine), they say they're only for boats but we've used them in 4x4s for deep cycle and starting batteries and never had one come back during warranty period.

If they do, clean it up and it was in Grandpa's boat.

Grandpa has a lot of boats.

Bond Premium are also good starting batteries, very high CCA ratings for what they are, but they're made in Thailand.

Hands down worst batteries - Power Charge or RACV, tied at bottom place, not worth a pinch of goat shit and Exide is down there too.

Are there any differences between the OEM batteries on Falcons vs XR's vs FPV's?

Nope. Terri has a bigger one but Falcon ones are the same.
