Great to see RACQ provided a refund.
We got a RACQ replacement battery in 2012… and it is still in the car going strong (touch wood). The OEM battery lasted 9 years, and maybe the RACQ will last longer.
Edit: just checked the battery and it was installed on 30/03/2012. Would have no problems using another battery provided by an AA club…its life far more than than one could expect.
Edit 2: The first frosty morning of the year resulted in the battery collapsing. The battery was replaced on the 22 April 2022, after 10 years and 22 days fault-free service. We have replaced it with the current version of the calcium lead acid battery from the RACT. Will be interesting to see if we get similar performance from the new battery.
