I know a number of members are in the same situation as my self living in a small remote town where your average time driving from a to b is a max of 15 minutes
so not a lot of time to charge the battery My question is what is the best battery I have looking at getting a new battery as my present one is on its last legs I have seen some new ones from Exide extreme as an example if you are in this position what do you use The one that is in the car now is no longer made and it has a date of 09082012 6cyl thanks

I bought the biggest top shelf Repco battery that would fit, with the most warranty. After the battery stopped fully charging up after 2 1/2 years, I drove back to Repco and told the guy it wasn't doing it's job properly. After testing it in the car he agreed and replaced it on the spot with a new one and then issued a new receipt with the current day so I had the full warranty again. All done and dusted in under 10 minutes.
Whatever you choose to buy, make sure it has the most warranty then either pay with a credit/debit card so it's on their system or keep the receipt and write the date of purchase on the top of the battery, it help immensely when tracking down the sale in their system.

The Biggest battery that will fit is not always the best option, They take more to charge, may produce too many amps for your current setup etc.
I recommend a Supercharge suited to your car, and they are not expensive http://www.supercharge.com.au/
