550 Cca Maintenance Free Sealed Calcium Batteries

[EGA41T]

group buy cancelled due to lack of interest and very high freight costs.

I have been warned by someone that they are in fact not fully sealed.

I am looking for a battery though. can you pop up that cover on the top of the battery and see if there are caps underneath?

[EGA41T]

the cover does not pop up, these batteries are fully sealed and can be mounted anywhere in your car, not just in the engine bay, they will not leak and they have no caps.

Good timing.. i was on the look out for a new battery.

Initially was after a Gel Cell battery.. but this ain't bad @ 550cca.

I'm definately interested, let's get some prices on shipping.

A proper gel battery actually has gel in it.

does this battery have gel? or is it still acid/water, just with a cap that is sealed?

[Howie]

Could someone also tell me which is better between this one and the one in wrxhoon's group buy ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...opic=62252&st=0 )?

[EGA41T]

this is a CALCIUM sealed battery, it has NO caps.

this battery is not a no name battery, it comes from a tried and tested company and are the type of batteries that would be supplied to you through any good Auto Electrician. it is very high quality and will serve you well.

Sounds good... what's the benefit of a Calcium battery btw?

[EGA41T]

i tried contacting a courier company for prices however interstate postage will bring the price above retail, so the group buy will be for pick up only from Penrith (SYDNEY).

although it doesnt look like i'll be able to get that many numbers for pick up, so it doesnt look like this group buy is going ahead.

That's what i want to know.

If these are actually gel, or a non water type, i'd be very interested.

by the way, which model fits in the R33 boot?

[inissane]

calcium batteries dont release badass gasses like lead acid ones anyway

Hey Andy,

Is this buy going ahead ?

Put me down for a '453'. To suit R33.

Are the terminals on this battery the small size to suit the factory R33 clamps?

there doesnt seem to be enough interest from local members for this group buy to go ahead, and i cannot post interstate due to the huge freight ccosts that i have been quoted, sorry guys but this group buy is cancelled.
