We Test it
To get a good indication of the health of your battery, our team provide a test and report for FREE.
This health check with our Industry Standard Tester identifies current power performance against rated performance and determines if you need a new battery or it needs charging and maintenance.
Drop into your local store today and speak with one of our friendly Team Members who can complete this for you in under 10 minutes.
We Charge it
Simply driving your car around the block a few times is not enough to charge the battery in a modern vehicle.
This is because a cars alternator is not designed to fully restore a depleted battery, but rather to maintain a healthy one. Correctly charging a battery is the easiest way to help restore battery performance, extend battery life and minimise the chance of a breakdown.
Our team use an Intelligent Charging System using technology that communicates with the battery. It then delivers a balanced charging load and optimised charge program for each specific battery.
WE SELECT IT
Batteries come in all shapes and sizes, choosing the right battery for your car can be a daunting task.
Installing an incorrect battery into your vehicle could cause damage due to accidental earthing on components or crossing the polarity of the battery.
Let us do it for you!

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is my battery slow to start in cold weather?
Cold weather slows down chemical reactions inside a battery reducing its capacity. This same cold weather causes thicker engine oil, increased draw from the starter motor and higher loads from a vehicle’s electrical accessories. This places more than normal power demands on the battery leading to a higher chance of failure.
What Training Has The Team Member Had?
Our team have undertaken training supported by Century Yuasa Batteries which is in line with industry standards. Supercheap Auto complies with all State and Territory legislation with regards to our business operations including our fitment services. Supercheap Auto’s battery fitment service is safe, professional and easy.
How long does the installation take and do I have to book it in?
This depends on the vehicle however most Battery fitments take less than 30 minutes. In most instances we can fit your battery on the spot, no problem. However, during busy times such as weekends, a short wait may be necessary.
I Have Heard Replacing a Battery Can Re-Set My Vehicle’s Computer, Will This Service Damage My Car?
No, the team at Supercheap Auto use a special ‘Memory Minder’ which plugs into your vehicle and ensures that your cars computer memory is not lost or reset. So your car will work just fine after we fit your new battery.
Will you fit something that I have bought from another store?
Unfortunately no, we sell a big range at Supercheap Auto that we will fit for you. Talk to one of our team members in store and they will be able to assist in choosing a product that’s right for you and your vehicle.
Can You Fit A Battery In My Car?
In the majority of cases, the answer is Yes! We can. However in some cases where the battery requires expert mechanical expertise and equipment like Hybrid vehicles or where the battery is not readily accessible, we may have to refer you to an expert.
Can You Fit Idle Stop Start (ISS) Batteries?
Yes, selected Supercheap Auto stores are now able to fit Idle Stop Start Batteries safely - please contact your local store to find out more information.
How long does it take to charge a battery?
For best results and to ensure safety, we only charge batteries out of the vehicle. Charge time can expect to be up to 48 hrs
Can you charge the battery in the car or do you have to take it out?
Best practice to charge a battery is out of the vehicle as the charging process may interfere with the vehicles electronics and it can take up to 12 hours.
Can I re-use my old battery for anything?
Almost all Supercheap auto stores offer a battery recycling program. Talk to a Team member in store about our recycling solutions.
Can I put my old battery in my recycling bin at home?
No. Lead acid batteries should not be placed in home recycling or waste bins. The lead and acid may contaminate other recycled materials which in turn can make them un-useable.
