Why We Recommend Century Batteries
When it comes to reliable performance in Australia's demanding conditions, Century Batteries stand out as a top choice.

Dual Battery Setups
If you’re running extra gear in your 4WD, van or work vehicle—like fridges, camp lights, inverters or comms—a dual battery system is one of the smartest upgrades you can make. It gives you a dedicated power source for accessories without risking your main starter battery, so you’ll never wake up to a flat battery after a night off-grid.
We design and install dual battery systems tailored to how you use your vehicle, whether it’s for weekend touring, long-haul travel or heavy-duty trade work. We use high-quality components including DC-DC chargers, isolators and fuse blocks, all neatly wired and tested for performance and safety.
Dual setups are particularly popular with touring rigs and work utes, where reliable power on the road isn’t a luxury—it’s essential. If you're considering a system that can keep up with your needs, call
(02) 4284 9208
and we’ll help you get it sorted the right way.
How do I know if my car battery is dying or something else is the problem?
A dying battery often causes slow engine cranking, dim interior lights, and electronics that reset or shut off when starting. However, battery symptoms can overlap with alternator or starter motor issues. For example, if your battery reads fully charged but the car still won’t start, the issue could be a faulty starter or poor connection. The only reliable way to tell is through proper load testing and voltage checks across the entire charging system. Guesswork often leads to wasted money on parts you don’t need.
What’s the best type of battery for driving in Australian conditions?
Australia’s heat, rough roads and long-distance travel put more strain on batteries than in many other countries. Look for a battery with high heat resistance, vibration tolerance and ample reserve capacity. Brands like Century specifically design batteries for local conditions, with thicker plates, built-in handles and robust casings. If you do a lot of regional driving, towing or use power-hungry accessories, a high-performance or deep-cycle battery may be worth the investment.
Is it normal for a car battery to go flat if I don’t drive often?
Yes, especially in newer cars with security systems, infotainment units or smart sensors that draw power even when parked. If your car sits unused for days or weeks at a time, these small but constant drains can flatten the battery. Investing in a battery maintainer or solar trickle charger is a smart move for infrequent drivers. Also, a battery that repeatedly goes flat can deteriorate faster, even if it’s new.
