  • RIP old Friend

    Well after 5 years or 1825 days or approximatly 4000 trouble free starts the my old faithful origional equipment battery gave up the ghost this morning. Like an old blue heeler he was always ready to go.

    But being such a good friend he did not run away with a pathetic click click sound, no he gave his all and wheezed the diesel for one last start before he rolled over and died

    Farewell buddy you have served me well :cry:

    By the way i have a supercharger allrounder for an Aux has anyone used these as a cranking battery???

    Geez you've done very well - 5 years is just about unheard of I always seem to have to change batteries on previous vehicle every 3 years

    And to be honest I am wondering about my nearly 18 month old OEM battery - seems to take longer to turn & start the engine these days or is it glow-plugs already ?

      I found that atmospheric conditions played a big part the colder it is the more it takes even with the glow plugs.

      It was leaving it out last night in melbourne for example where it got down to single digits that finally killed it, i think it has lasted so long cause it has spent its life in a nice warm garage every night

      Just went out and got myself a supercharge 1 click and your started

        My OEM is still cranking away, I was just thinking today that it is holding up well considering some people only manage 12 months on their OEM battery.
