Century or SuperCharge battery, which is more suitable for my situation?

[sapped]

Howdy guys,

I just have some questions regarding batteries, the battery on my car is flat and I’m hoping to get a new one.

After some searching around, I’m deciding to either get a Century one or a SuperCharge, since a lot of people recommended these two brands. My battery model is 55D23L, so these will be the batteries I’m getting:

https://www.autobarn.com.au/century-12v-automotive-battery-101100
https://www.autobarn.com.au/supercharge-automotive-battery-gold-mf75d23l

The Century Hi-Performance one cost $175 and is 2 years warranty
The SuperCharge GoldPlus one cost $204 and is 40 months warranty

I am just wondering though, which one would be the best value for money and bang for the buck?

I think it’s important to factor in my driving tendency for this decision, since I don’t really drive the car that much. I mostly just drive 10 minutes per day, travelling between work from Monday to Friday. During the weekends, I mostly just drive 20 minutes for grocery shopping. So yeah, I really don’t drive the car a lot.

Thus I’m just wondering, which of these batteries do you guys recommend getting? I’m planning to keep the car for a long time as well. So taking into account all these factors, which would be the better choice for me?

Thank you so much for reading through this, sincerely appreciate your time and comments. If there are other batteries recommended, please let me know as well.

Cheers and best wishes!

Welcome to the forum!

My opinion, for whatever it's worth.......

I can't comment on the quality of SuperCharge because I have never bought one
& never heard anyone else commenting about having one.
But
I have always had a great run with Century batteries, had quite a few &
I tend to stick with good old brands which I have had a good run with.

If it were my money, I would be buying a Century, :cheers:

Had Century. Try and find Bosch. Much better quality, longer life than the century and a bit cheaper too

Have you considered Optima? Have had Yellow top and now Red top, bit dearer but great batteries.

Agree with others Century, Get the biggest one that still fits and try to buy when on discount (Yes sometimes this does not work out timing wise)
Best Bang for $.

Century, and Supercharge aren't any good. I would go for a different brand.
Look into going to an actual Battery place to buy batteries, they aren't much dearer, and provide realible batteries.
I have had too much trouble with both of these brands, both bought from places like Autobarn, and Supercheap.
