Surely that'd be within the warranty period?

I'm a fan of the Optima range, but they're expensive. That said, an Optima Red Top would be good if your car will be sitting still for a long period of time...

Otherwise, Century seem to have a good reputation.

Yeh it is under warranty... BUT...i have a ruined rep with my old boss who it was purchased from and he will not replace it.

What do you use??

Longest lasting one i had was a Varta, they also make OE Batterys for VW i believe...

The warranty for Supercharge Gold is 3 years. Your old boss may not want to replace it but any outlet that sells it will regardless of where it was purchased.

The Supercharge Gold MF66 has a 670CCA with RRP of $219, the Century DIN65LMF only has 580 CCA and 2 year warranty but RRP is only $179.

you shouldn't need a receipt. When you fitted the battery, you should have marked the purchase record on the battery. That should be good enough for any bonafide dealer. If it's a 3 year warranty then it's probably 6 months FOC replacement then pro-rata after that. I'd recomend you contact Supercharge direct & ask them what your options are.

as if the battery is actually dead? It's not that old, it should be OK, unless it's been damaged.

Both my cars have crappy (brand) and old (ones dated '06) and they both work still.

Even my battery in the diesel went flat (completely!) a couple times, but it was still good!
