Worst company to deal with
I have bought a battery when I inquired they said $169 them when he come out he wanted $189 and had the battery for 3 months I had a mechanic look at it and said it’s not working properly when I went to claim warranty he wants $88 call out fee wether it’s his fault or not so the battery would cost me $270 and he still blamed everything else if your smart do not deal with this company if you have half a brain keep away you will regret it if you have any dealings with this shonky company

questionable
can't complain about the service or quality, as have only had the battery a couple of months. but some of the reviews here don't fill me with confidence for the future. my complaint refers to pricing. the website quoted $179, when i rang up to order i was told $189 (and that they needed to update website). i accepted that. but today a relative used them, and was quoted $189. when he came to pay, he was told it's "$189 PLUS GST" that's a big difference !!! i just checked their website again and their pricing DOES NOT state GST has to be added, which is misleading at best, and dishonest at worst. so CAVEAT EMPTOR !!

Awesome
Best ever. The price on their website is the total fixed price you pay. Same price as NRMA members pay (my membership expired). Best honest service ever from a top bloke which is the most important aspect. $189 with 2 year warranty - hopefully I get 4 years out of the battery.

Their “24/7 mobile service within hour” is misleading. Yelled & screamed at me. Very bad man. Bad company!
My car broke down, battery failed twice in two years, no one answers phone. I threaten ACCC, [name removed] yelled & screamed at me saying he doesn’t care, leave! Terrible company!

Strongly recommend Sydney Battery Services
Fast, Price Competitive and Friendly. I called the company, within 15 mins they came to my location and fixed my problem. Mark knew exactly what to do and provide quality service . I waited for my ROADSIDE ASSIST for over 2 hours and jump started my car and did not have the correct battery for replacement. Totally waste of time. Thank GOD for Sydney Battery Service.

Great price!
The price was very good and they came within the promised time. I did shop around but their quote was undeniably the best price I got. They replied to my email promptly and everything afterwards was a breeze.

Thankyou
Was unfortunate to get a flat battery in Sydney today and these guys were amazing. Promptly responded to my call for help and Brian (the technician) spent time making sure all was okay before leaving in spite of the extreme heat. Thankyou so much to Peter and your team. I'm a very happy customer

Scam
3 months latter...
My new Bosh deep circle battery is tested on my Merc AMG. Result=12.65 V!
Dear [name removed] if you are reading this please try to understand that you need to learn about cars and electricity before you call your self a professional.
You diagnosed problem with my alternator and even a leakage of electricity on my car without testing your crap battery.
I am seriously thinking to report your business as a scam and ask the government to prevent you from scamming and harming people selling them old batteries which y...Read more
ou probably recuperate from the bin somewhere. . The point here is that you will diagnose cars with faulty and people will spend their time and money to check those issues. Well my dear [name removed] what comes with a cost. If you book to check your car at Mercedes dealer it will cost around $ 200. Just imagine how many people can not afford to go to the dealer and check their cars. Their opinion is to see a cheap doggy mechanic like you are who will swap they good alternator for old scrap just like your batteries.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Stay away from this scam!
Called this " experts " to fit a new battery in my Mercedes AMG. After 6 months, car battery was 40%. Call this experts and the expert Peter answered the phone. Directly he diagnosed the problem. Electricity leakage in the system. When to see him directly, he changed the story, well, my car had problem with an alternator. All this lies to not replace the battery with the correct one. He sent me to Mercedes-Benz garage to change the alternator. After short visit, mechanics in Mercedes start to laugh! This experts from Sydney Battery fitted tra...Read more
sh battery in my car (750 cca instead of 900 cca). I asked for AGM they fitted cheapest crap and charged good money for it. Immediately, I changed that trash battery with an original Bosh one. I was lucky, that trash experts and their crap battery could seriously damage my $130 000 car. I really don't understand how people can do this things. How they can run the business and nonsense people. He told me: I am a professional! I call them because they came to my home and that was really convenient. Anyway, please stay away from this Scam. If you really don't have any choice, go to repco and buy standard battery at least you will be covered if something goes wrong. To summarize, even if these experts offer me a free battery i would not take it.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Never Again.....
I called this company last month and the fellow introduced himself as Peter whose grasp of the english language turned out to be as poor as the quality of his unknown brand batteries. Anyways, I took the chance and despite Peter telling me that his technician would be there within the hour, after several hours of being stranded, the so-called 'technician' showed up. Long story short, the battery got changed however, it left me locked out of my audio system and the top-of-the-line-maintenance-free battery died yesterday so I did the job properly this time by calling NRMA. Sydney Battery is one hell of a dodgy company and I for one will never use them again.

Terrible.
The installer could hardly speak English, they billed by credit card for more than agreed, and then they replaced the battery without putting a power back on the vehicle, so I lost all my settings in the stereo.

Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!!!
Avoid at all cost. Never be so desperate to use this service. I had to get a jump start within 2 months of getting my battery replaced and since then i have jump started battery twice. Every time i call for a warranty replacement they say they are closed for refurbishment??!! How can a mobile battery replacement place be closed for recurbishment or renovations? Big time scammers and shonks. Plus the verbal abuse you receive from team manager peter and the appaling language to boot is an utter disgrace. Please everyone, they are not the cheapes...Read more
t in sydney by a long shot. Stay clear of this rip off company, do yourself a huge favour and use NRMA or marshall first up because you will end up using them after Peter tells you what he thinks of you with foul language, then hangs up on you and you end up ringing Marshall after all the abuse. Scammers!!!Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Disgraceful, deceiving & dishonest.
I called Sydney Batteries 3 months ago to replace a flat battery. Despite advertising that they were the cheapest, I have since found out I was overcharged. 3 months on the battery went flat. I contacted Sydney Batteries who immediately sent me a text message saying I agree to the warranty conditions. I smelt a rat so clutch started the car and drove it to my mechanic. His test revealed it was a flat battery. I called Sydney Batteries again to arrange a replacement. [name removed] aggressively disputed this and said he would send one of his tec...Read more
hnicians to check it using his Medtronic tester. He sent me the warranty conditions twice and wanted my credit card details. I told him I was not providing my card details and that I would be at the mechanics. After. 3 hours I called again to be told he would be there between 1-4pm (5-9 hours after my initial call). In between (and by co incidence) the battery manufacturers sales rep called at the mechanics. He checked the battery and informed us it was over 12 months old as well as being faulty should not have been sold in the first place. He replace it immediately. I contacted Sydney Batteries and spoke to [name removed] the team Manager and informed him of this. He sent through the warranty conditions and again and said that there would be a $90 call out fee and hung up. I called back to tell him the manufacturer replaced his dodgy battery and he sent me the warranty conditions again and then swore at me and hung up. Do not use this company. They are scammers. I will be following up with fair trading.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
They Use Old Batteries- Do Not Buy From Them
I purchased a battery from these guys & the guy came and installed it, after 1 month I noticed the clear cylinder on top of battery (that is meant to be green when battery is new) it was black but I didn't take any action as battery was still working.
A few months later battery would not start after car was not in use for 3 days & it continued like this every time car was not in use for 2-3 days I had to jump start it. I called them up (Sydney Batteries) as Invoice says 3 year warranty & he said he will come out to my place but if battery is s...Read more

Scam Company
This company is a SCAM. They give provide faulty batteries to customers and do not fix the situation when you ask them for a new battery. They act aggressive and tell you that you have to pay to have it replaced! Even with a 3 year warranty!! And that is WHEN you can actually contact them, they always go straight to voicemail! This man is scamming everybody (as you can see below in almost every single comment) and I suggest that everybody call fair trading to complain like I am going to do right now.

SSB Batteries
Purchased 3 SSB AGM batteries for a game fishing boat - a $1000 investment.
One of the batteries was dodgy from the beginning - would not hold a charge. Over a year it deteriorated until I could not get a charge into it. Took it back to SSB who refused to honour the 3 year warranty because I had let it go flat!!!
It went flat because it was faulty not because of anything I did with the battery.
Stay away from SSB batteries.

Avoid Sydney Batteries
[name removed] Sydney Batteries Team Manager will not honour 3 year warranty on my battery. Requested to text my Tax Invoice, which I did, then my receipt, which I did then he called me to say I had a 2 year warranty not 3 year. My Tax invoice clearly indicates 3 year. He then text a warranty condition agreement that I had to acknowledge. I refused. This company must be working on scams. I'm contacting the relevant NSW F/trade department to follow this thru.
Sydney Batteries should not be in business if it treats customers like this. Avoid them.
