    Damn that's good value. Would this battery have similar performance to the Optima YellowTop?

    Thats sounds pretty good. These Delkor batteries come with a 3yr warranty as well.

    When you say dual battery setup...does that mean that one of the batteries would go in the boot?

    Yes , or if you run an OTR , you could put the battery where the air-box was ......

    Re: New Battery

    I just found out that these 680CCA Delkor batteries are rated at 75AH, so they seem to be a much better battery all round.Although, I don't think they're a deep cycle battery....but I could be wrong. Bloody great for $99.99 though...and being in the Syd metro region delivery is free

    75AH , that's pretty good , would it matter that much not being deep cycle , as it's got a 90 min recharge .

    Actually I mite pick one of those up and use my 610 as the 2nd battery

    now , who do I collect my finders fee from

    The Intimidator series is Deka's deep cycle range. Marty at FHRX currently has them on special for around $265 (depending on which model you want) and that will be freighted to your door... they're normally a $335 battery I believe.

    Thanks white lie. Would you know which model would most likely fit a VY commodore?
