Battery in Sydney west?

Can anyone point me at a battery shop somewhere between the airport and
Blacktown?
I need a YB14L-A2 (or the maintenance-free equivalent)
Thanks .... Clem

 

Probably against your propensity to do things on a shoestring Clem but I
recently bought a Deka Power Sports battery for the Pig. Made in the
U.S. and with a shitload more CCA than stockers, it's a sealed glass mat
jobbie. $190 but worth every cent for the Pig.

ETX15L, it's a bolt-in replacement.

 

What the hell are you doing in western Sydney? Shouldn't you be home
by now?


BTH

 

Thanks Gerry;
I'd sent them an on-line query but they never responded. (I hate talking on
the telephone!)
Cheers ..... Clem

 

why ?

its taken a charge today and managed to start the shitbox

prob be ok for tomorrow



oh and its leaking oil all over the driveway

 

Hmm; that looks even better than the maintenance-free one I was gonna' buy:

I can't get the website to understand that there's other countries than USA
and Canada; do you recall if they stung you much for shipping?
Thanks .... Clem

 

Home today,
Western Sydney tomorrow,
home Friday.

Thanks Big.

 

That was the one I was hunting at first, it's not a sealed battery though.

I got mine from Battery World here in Townsville.

All Purpose Batteries P/L 0246483111 Have 'em for $199 but you should be
able to bargain with 'em for 10% off at least...

Spins over the Pig like there's no plugs in it...

 

Ta. I'll give them a call tomorrow.

 

Turns out the Deka has the same CCA as the YB14L-A2, 190. The
YTX14AHL-BS puts out 210. That'll teach me to listen to the salesmonkey.

The Deka seems to crank it over better than a stocker though and it's a
lot heavier. Plus it's fully sealed. I'm happy with it.

 

DAMN; I shoulda' said "That's Big of you".

 

I was looking at the BIG-Crank equivalent of the Deka and it weighs 11lb as
opposed to the YTX14AHL-BS and the YB14L-A2's 7.5lb so I'm happy to accept
that there's more "plate" in it!
Only $60 with the current exchange rate too (although I expect postage to be
a killer!)

 

What is it that's $60? You've lost me there...

Faaark... Must be the shipping that whacks the price up so far.

 

Well I've bought a Deka off EBay for AUD$93 delivered so we'll see if it
arrives or if they change their mind on the postage.

At least it won't leak acid if your bike decides to have another lie down...
