Motorcycle batteries in Australia

Updated 4 November 2026

Batteries in Australia cost from about A$5.50 for a basic pack of AA cells to A$569 for a 12V 170Ah lithium deep-cycle unit. The figures below are for car, deep-cycle and general-purpose batteries, not motorcycle-specific listings, so check the price for your exact model. The quickest way to a current offer is a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Rules and warranty to check

Under the Australian Consumer Law, a seller cannot exclude the guarantees that come with goods. A battery must be durable and last a reasonable time, and if it fails early you are entitled to a replacement or a refund, so keep the receipt. Warranty guides published by some battery brands list 3 years on premium batteries for private vehicles and 2 years on extra heavy-duty batteries, so compare the period printed on the label before you pay.

Season and storage

November is the start of summer, which runs from December to February. Heat in these months is hard on batteries, so replace an old battery before the summer peak rather than after it fails. Winter runs from June to August, and a weak battery often shows up on the first cold mornings, so check it before June if you ride through winter. Rules for lithium-ion battery storage vary by state, according to a compliance guide in the search results. If you plan to store a lithium battery at home, check the rules for the state you live in, whether that is New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia or South Australia.

Delivery and what to write in the request

Batteries are heavy, so ask whether delivery to your suburb in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide is included, and whether GST is in the price. Specs are given in volts (V), amp-hours (Ah) and cold cranking amps (CCA). In your request, give the motorcycle make, model and year, the battery size or part number, the battery type (standard, AGM or lithium), the polarity, the CCA you need, new or used, your city and your budget in A$. With those details, sellers can quote one exact price instead of a range.

On BlaBlaPrice you describe the battery in your own words in a free chat, and you can add a photo of the label. The AI asks for missing details, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Australia, and shows the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price and delivery terms. Your contacts stay hidden, and you choose with whom to exchange them.
