    The standard Opel Battery lasted 7 years in the Veccy. Would have kept going had the contact not been sheared off by the mechanic...

    The exxide batteries...has any1 used them till they died.
    How much do you have to worry about the brand of batteries when it comes to quality?
    Are they like tires?

    It appears most batteries are made in the same place, but in different colours from what I can see..

    I personally think the warranty period is a good indication of the quality of the battery.. 1 year ok, 2 years good, 3 years very good...

    I replaced mine last week too. Also one of the cells went. NRMA came out and told me that the battery was too small for the car... standard... not including all audio shit hooked up. Ol well, least I've got a bigger better one now.
