  • Supercharge Allrounder Pricing ?

    Hi.
    I am currently looking at replacing my auxiliary battery, which has been in service for 5 years ( Exide Extreme )

    Autobarn currently have the Supercharge Allrounder MRV70 on special at around $220 - is this a good price ?
    Cheers, Wayne

      Ta just ordered one.
      Supercharge's own warehouse was about the same price, but I'd have to drive across town to pick it up.

        I noticed I had the dreaded red eye of death on the Allrounder on the weekend. I spoke to Supercharge today and all they said was it needs to be charged at 16V as it's Calcium and the Ctek chargers are no good for this battery. Funny it's worked for 18 months being charged by the Prado and Ctek.

        Well they just lost 3 battery sales as I was about to replace the camper batteries and fit a new cranking battery. I'm going back to good old Exide Extreme wet lead acid batteries.

              If you're looking for an alternative to the supercharge, Exide do a ST575 (575cca, 100Ah) for $205. It's a hybrid technology battery so it dosn't need a special charger with calcium mode to charge it.

                5 years!?. my Exide Extreme went to heaven after 2 1/2 years
                Needless to say I'm trying another brand, from the local Auto Leccie
                E-nex XV24MF 720CCA 85AH from NZ Best Battery Co (but made in Korea ATLASBX CO. LTD)
                Much less costly than Exide
                Ultimately was limited to something that would fit in the ARB aux batt tray, and was available there and then.
                Hopefully will last longer than the Exide.

                  In the end I visited Supercharge and they load tested the battery . It tested fine and they said it needed to be charged at 16V to give it a good charge as the battery was indicating it had been deeply discharged. They also said as it was a D4D Prado they reccomended I replaced it with one of their Amptech deep cycle wet lead acid batteries as the Allrounders don't get enough charge from the Prado. As I needed a battery for the camper and they did me a good deal I agreed. I removed the Allrounder and after a day sitting on the bench on the Ctek on recondition mode (15.7V @ 1.5A) the Allrounder came back to life.

                    I have the same battery (760CCA). Went flat on Wednesday with red eye. I have had it on normal charge all night last night and its not coming good. Just switched it to 16V to see if that makes a difference. The 2 year warranty ran out last week!

                    Interstingly enough Kylie ended up driving our old Hilux 2.8D which started after 12 weeks of sitting in the driveway on the first turn. No charging needed, the exide battery has been in it since about the start of 2006 and 99% of the time it is driven it will be about 2km per trip (so lots of stop starts). The Prado does all the long trips normally.

                      OK an update.

                      Looks like the battery is all good now. I charged it overnight at 16V. That turned the red eye off and it was grey. hmmm. Charged for another day at normal 14V and it stayed that way, but the car started no problems. Well I was heading down to Adelaide to have the car serviced anyway, so if it gave me problems I could get it changed. Either way the aux battery works fine to start the car. The only thing it effects is the clock and the power windows.

                      Well by the time we got to Adelaide (~700km) the light was green and all seems to be fine. Very strange given that the Prado charging voltage is quite low.
