Yes I have checked up the listings.
Get a ruler and measure the battery tray and see if you can fit a din75 the din65 will be good but if a din75 will fit there is no reason not to use it. We stock century batteries at work.

I bought an AC Delco battery from Holden. $120. 850 CCA. Our is V6.
Old mate at Holden found one to suit a VE S2 V8 Ute I think it was.
Straight into the V6 Calais.
I did a thread on it because it involved modding the venting to have two tubes rather than one.

That a lot of good CCA. I worry that the VE uses more battery compared to the VF when staying in your garage doing nothing. I read somewhere when if the VE stays idle for a month or so you will experience more flat batteries compared to the VF. Also I think if the VE is locked and the Alarm is on its worse.

STOP WRITING TITLES IN ALL CAPS!
Funny thing about Writing in CAPS as I bought this up to my specialist as I had 3 Strokes (yes still alive @ 69 years old) and I Ask him why do my eyes and my brain skip (Cant see it) sentences when printed in lower case but if there is plenty of CAP letters my eyes/brain lock onto it. Its like a Train that drives through a railway station and the train driver doesn't see the station unless there is a sign in BOLD and in CAPS saying the Station.
By the way it took me 15 minutes to write theses 5 lines because of all errors like no spaces, poor grammar, spelling mistakes I think of a word by the time I try to write it I forget the the word or better still half way trying to write the word I forget it.

Off topic but this is the reason I dont drive a car by myself (Always have my wife and Daughter with me) because Im scared of driving through a RED light but at the other side of things i'm extremely GOOD just as good or better before I had the first stroke. They say he Brain is working to repair itself and using another part of the brain to store data which has never been used before but the trouble with me the brain gets fixed in 12 months but I have another stroke and goes back to square one.

Writing in CAPS is the equivalent to shouting in text, it's just plain rude to type in all capitals. Good to hear you're slowly getting better.

Yes I know about shouting using the caps. Its extremely hard for me to type, also I have only 40% speaking capabilities . so I cant use those programs that allows you to talk and the computer type for you. I'm due for another stroke or TIA, its been 12 months since the last one I had.

Just to clarify, my comments were not aimed at you, rather the OP who did this on every one of his threads.
