Hey guys,
I was quoted $400 by Audi for a battery for my car.
Upon doing some research and sending some enquiries to other car battery websites I found this battery https://www.batteriesplus.com.au/shop/car-truck/exide-extrem… that is really reasonably priced.
However they don't ship to the East Coast (Sydney)
Can you guys help me find that battery in Sydney or a site that ship to Sydney?
Thank you in advance
They emailed me and told me they don't ship to the East Coast.
Yes happy to buy another brand with the same spec 770CCA/80AH if you have any recommendation
Actually if you continue the purchase process by entering a NSW address it says this
"Unfortunately your order cannot be shipped to New South Wales. To complete your order, please select an alternative shipping State."
Why do you need that exact battery? You just need a din77 battery, it's not like they are uncommon.
I don't know what a din77 battery is.
I messaged Audi and told me my car needed the below
Descriptions: battery with charge state indicator, filled and charged
80AH / 380A
More than happy for you to link me another suitable battery within the same price range
Edit: I googled din77 battery and I found a battery that looks like could fit my car but no prices and have to request a quote https://www.marshallbatteries.com.au/battery-range/passenger…
Who told you the battery you mentioned in the op is suitable for your car? What model, year and engine?
I asked Audi for my car's battery specs and they came to me with the below
Descriptions: battery with charge state indicator, filled and charged
80AH / 380A
After I contacted BAtteryPlus and they told me this battery fitted my car

Here's a pic of my current battery https://imgur.com/a/e36rJVJ
It only says 700CCA and 135 RC
@Arese: Not sure why they told you din77, should be din65. You will have to make sure it's stop/start compatible if your car has that.

@brendanm: I checked here http://www.supercharge.com.au/match-your-vehicle.html
and it says DIN 77 as well which is closer to what Audi told me (80AH) so I'll go with DIN77.
I actually find the supercharge din77 here https://www.autobarn.com.au/supercharge-starter-battery-el04…
@brendanm: Even cheaper on ebay sold by autobarn https://www.ebay.com.au/i/323504412710
I'm going with that one. Thanks for your help guys
EDIT: ordered $225 shipped to Sydney https://www.batteriesdirect.com.au/shop/product/13322/mf77.h…
@Arese: That's weird that there are different recommendations, but the battery you have now is a din77 so at least you know it fits. That's a good price for a battery that size.
@brendanm: Yes happy with the price, half what Audi was asking :)
Out of curiosity, how can you tell my current battery is a din77? It doesn't say din77 on it was just curious to know how you can determine that
Ring local battery places. Ask for a battery to suit your car. Pick the one with the best price (it doesn’t need to be what Audi says is the only part that fits). Go there and have them fit it.
Costco
Batteries Direct in Riverwood - been buying from them for yonks.
Your car probably came with a Varta AGM of sorts, I'd get another AGM if possible.
Your link seems to be fine with a Sydney 2000 address with $10 flat postage. Use a suitable free parcel locker account and get it delivered to there.
Also, have you considered alternative brands? As long as the specifications of the battery match, it doesn't have to be the same brand.
