hi all

have 2 x Optima D34M ("blue top") deep cycle batteries (marine battery with extra terminals)

test fit them for a project for about a day, then decided not to go ahead

batteries are a bit over a month old, and am trying to recoup some cost :thumbsup:

have remainder of a 2 year warranty (about 23 months or so), just need to dig up the receipt

more info here:

and

they weigh 20kg each, so it's pretty much pick up only

R $270 each / I $300 each

RRP = $445

cheapest i can find is $325 plus shipping here: http://www.keoghsmarine.com.au/product_det...g_ProductID=509

cheers

hi. im interested. but i have 2 conditions.

it needs to fit my custom battery holder which was made/shaped to fit the yellow d34 which seems to be the same as what u have

other condition is , it needs to start the car from the boot. if its really only a couple months old it shouldnt be a problem

i will pm u my number. gimme a call asap. im free 24hr/7 days

these are still acid batterys arent they? so not suitable for in-cabin?

they're 100% sealed and maintenance free

this quote from the website leads me to believe in cabin use should be OK:

Nonspillable Maintenance Free

The OPTIMA® is spill-proof and maintenance free. Because of its completely sealed case, OPTIMA® batteries are extremely safe. Acid can't leak or spill, making them clean, user-friendly and environmentally sound. In addition, the maintenance free sealed case design eliminates the need to add water or clean terminals.

OPTIMA® Blue Top batteries are spill proof, so they can be mounted anyplace inside a boat or RV, in almost any position.

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
