Personally i'd recommend them. I run the supercharge gold series 600cca in mine and never had any dramas with them, including cold winter starts. 6 years old and still going strong even after many high discharges from leaving the stereo running for hours lol. Of course there is better on the market, but for the price comparison I think they're a top choice. I pay approx $100 for them from a local auto electrician.
Cheers

I would also recomend them, Even know i dont have one right now, I had one in my old car, It took heaps of abuse, Still kept on going!
Disscharged it all the time from watching movies in the car ect, But kept on going! (after jumpstart)
When i brought my old car, The battrey was going on 5 years old, Thats when i started pushing it to its limit's.Huge stereo, Dvd ect
Finally packed in at about the 8 year mark!...I did put that inox battrey stuff in it at the 5 year mark, Not sure if that is part reason as to why it was so good or not.
I now use SSB manance free,Im very happy with them so far, But still would recommend Supercharge. Well the one i had anyway!

But thats my only experiance with them, So not sure if there the best in all applications.

Garbage. Had a 550cca one in my VY installed 2007. Had the interior lights (=about 3 amp draw) on for 2 hours while doing work on the stereo one day which saw it go flat. After that it barely turned over the engine and i limped it along it for another year (never left anything on when the engine was off, not even interior lights) it finally died earlier this year less than 25,000km after it was installed.

Currently have an RACV 550cca which is also junk, but it was a matter of convenience since getting an RACV battery meant i made it to work that day, and therefore the battery paid for itself . I plan to kill that one by cranking my stereo if it's still hanging on by the end of the 3 year warranty

i got a truck one on my impala. 80 bucks for something like 800cca. bought it 2 years ago and it works like a treat. the missus and i go to the drive-in cinemas, watch a movie (4 speakers, 2 amps, 2 subs) then start her up and drive home.

Save your money and buy something a bit better IMO. We've had only good experiences with AC Delco batteries, they're good value for money. However, if you can afford to spend a little bit more, buy a Delkor. I reckon they're about the best on the market.

Delkor are a bloody good battery, so are the Delco's. Best batteries I've seen are Panasonic branded - fitted to Subaru's etc from factory. Quite common to see them do 7 or 8 years. Can't buy them new though.
