    Default Supercheap Auto batteries

    Any one bought one? How did it perform, how long did it last?
    Just thinking of getting one for my wife's Kia Rio. But if they are crap, then I'll spend a bit more and get a better one.

    OK, well I noticed in the catalogue that the SCA ones come with 12 month warranty. I would be happy if it lasted 3-4 years, as a good brand will last 5-6 years.
    I havn't even priced them yet, only guessed that they'd be cheaper than other brands and I have found SOME of the SCA products to be of fair quality.
    Was just hoping to hear of anyones experiences with them. Thanks...

    Lol, yeh, I'm after a cheap battery! Just didn't want to go for these ones if they were just crap and not worth buying.
    Thanks for the help guys.

    Used a SCA battery in the Mrs old Excel. Worked straight up no dramas, that was about 3 years ago, as far as i know the new family friends owners still have it.

    My GF works in head office at SCA so I always go there haha 25% off everything helps! But i've bought batteries from there before, I bought one for my Honda, one for my Mazda b2000 (heavy duty one) and another one for my S13 and they all performed as good as any other battery, they were all Century brand too and come with a 12 month warranty aswell, but to me a battery is a battery I guess, well, for an normal car I don't see the need to spend top dollar one a battery
