Replaced the original battery in the petrol 120 after 6 years and 4 months. I was happy with that.

How long did you get from the OEM battery?

You typically won't get the long life out of Australian made batteries as they use recycled lead. Some of the imported batteries such as Amaron use a more pure lead.
Charging batteries every 3 months to condition them seems to help with life. I've got a Century N70ZZL4WD which is 2 years old and still going strong. If I get another 2 years I'll be more than happy.

Had a nightmare run with century battery's. The deep cycle leaked (damaged paint inside guard) and failed. Swapped to a Optima D27F and zero issues now. Today after my century starter battery was dying, ripped it out too find it also bloody leaking and again damaged paintwork on my inside guard. I swapped to a 810 cca Supercharge Gold plus starter. Fires heaps better now.

7 years now and still only just hanging in. I won't change it until it dies as I have the luxury of a second battery to call on at the push of a button if and when the start battery dies. I am impressed as I have never had such longevity in a battery. I suspect that gs nippon denchi are not the same as GS Yuasa Century but if they are then would be happy to get one when the time comes.2009 120 GXL D4D, TJM Bull Bar, Winch, Safari Snorkel, ARB Lift, ARB Lockers, Black Widow Drawers
