cheers tim
sh*t ! I have 2 of them to power my 24v electric, I'm sure I only paid about 500 for both about 4yrs ago.
Damn good batteries though. mine are still going well
I have 2 of them one in the 4wd and one in the boat if your talking about the 12 volt version i paid half of that.I am pretty sure mine are a trogan deep cycle 135 amp hour though.
Tim ... sounds high dude ......... $250 (135amp) seem right! ..... While the trojan is about the best in a wet cell ....... I only paid $350 for a much better Absorbed power AGM .....

I paid around $800 for two 200 amp hour trojan deep cycle for my solar power system on the house about 3 years ago, i just put a few more panels on the roof, these batteries will not hold the power generated so had to buy bigger batteries to cope with the extra load, $2000 dollars later.................................bloody hell
, diddnt think of that outcome before i got the new panels

If you had plenty of cash to burn why did you ask about the price,i can barely afford to live so could you please give me some of your cash.Ahh well im not to concerned about the price i paid as long as my battery works good,Plus i got plenty of cash to burn

Regardless .... I'd still be pissed (paying 60-70% more) ... NaggIf you had plenty of cash to burn why did you ask about the price,i can barely afford to live so could you please give me some of your cash.
PS ..... It really does show the value of Ausfish .... Should have posted first
Tim, thats less money for plastics. i would take it back and ask for a refund and get another one cheaper?????.
Your job must be paying real well, looks like i gotta fine another job, as i don't get paid near enough.
I brought a secondhand n70 for a spare $40, great battery
tunaticer-They were alot cheaper a year ago...One of my mates got the same battery as me for around $280 a year ago
bastard-I never asked for a price in my post,I was just letting everyone know that the trojans prices have increased
timddo-The same day i got the trojan i also picked up a new N70 as my crank battery,I dont really need any more plastics either i have to many as it is
