Exide vs. Century

[Winnie]

My battery has carked it, won't hold a charge so I'm looking to buy a new heavy duty one. There is the Exide N70EX for $215 with 620CCA from Kmart and the Century N70ZZL4WD for $225 with 760CCA from Supercheap.
I want to be able to start the car obviously, and run a stereo for a few hours with an LED on the back and eventually a winch. Which do you think is the best option here? Both have 2 year warranties.

Cheers, Chris.

other option is look at the Century marine battery N70 size as it is 720cca with a 100ah rating hybrid battery, crank and deep cycle. Supercheap have them for $220ish as well so it gives you another option, they are not sealed though. If you want a sealed 1 around the same price, may pay to look at Supercharge or similar named brand

Hmm that marine battery sounds very good, will look into that too. Cheers.

They sound a bit steep go to all purposes batteries online I got a sealed marine batt delivered for like 250$ don't have site address at the moment but wouldnt b hard to find

[Winnie]

Do the marine batteries have any problems with vibrations?

is it sealed and all that jazz whats the AH rating?

[Winnie]

Yes it's sealed, 100AH rating. So you can run 1200W for an hour before it goes flat.

I have a Century marine second battery. As far as vibrations go, these batteries are designed for use at sea, choppy bumpy conditions.

The Amp Hour rating quoted is usually the 20 hour rate: you can get 5A for 20 hours.
The discharge rate for one hour will be considerably less.
