Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

At one time they had a plant in Australia as well - if that is still running the Varta battery may have come from there.

Have an Optima red top in my 996 - you need to use an adaptor to make it fit.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Dead battery yesterday at first start. On tender all winter.
Any thoughts on what the best batteries are? I probably don't want to spend for anti-gravity.

I think in the USA there are only like 2 lead-acid battery manufacturers left. So basically all the batteries in the USA are made by 2 mfgrs. Even Interstate doesn't make their own batteries anymore. I think the last 2 are EastPenn (Deka) and Clarios (Formerly Johnson Controls). Point is no matter what battery you buy they come from one of these 2 companies, so effectively they are all pretty much the same inside.
I�ve also read that there only two manufacturers. As a result I bought an H7 from wallyworld. Just moved the bracket over one notch and all set. I prefer the extra CCA to the weight.
This is correct. So best just to find the best deal available. The last battery that I bought was from Advance Autoparts - they frequently have 20% off online orders, and you can pick the battery up at the store. So for a H7 battery the savings were about $40. They are Clarios, as are Autozone and Interstate. Wally is either Clarios (west of Mississippi approx.) or Deka - East Penn. Deka is OEM for BMW and MB in the US. Both companies should be roughly equal quality and price. Replace every five years and you will be good to go.

Just realized you are in Australia. I think (but not certain) that Exide manufacturers Varta branded batteries at one of their plants in Asia. At one time they had a plant in Australia as well - if that is still running the Varta battery may have come from there.
