Supercheap have them over here in SA at just over $80 for the 17aH unit but I went nextdoor to Sprint Auto parts (I think they're another national chain) and got the same inut for just over $70.Thing was Sprint only had black colour.....

They all come with chargers - 240V ac and 12V dc (cigarette lighter plug) the latter doubling as the 12V dc power take-off. Great for the HEQ5 Go To.

SLA batteries don't have "special" chargers - it's just that for most purposes they are (relatively) small capacity lead-acid batteries, and demand a lower in general charge rate with a lower output voltage; to ensure at "cut-off" a lower (than average) "trickle" charge continues to pump the fully-charged battery, though it's preferable and much more beneficial to their life to switch off when fully-charged.

Regards, Darryl.
