SSB, Super Start Batteries.
SSB is the battery that survives up here. Super Start Batteries build for Australian conditions — heavy plate, deep reserve, vibration-rated terminals. We stock the SSB range — Gold series for cars and 4WDs, Silver series for budget replacement, EFB and AGM Stop-Start, the XR series for motorcycles, lithium ultralite, plus commercial truck and bus.
If we had to pick one battery line to bet a 4WD on for a Cape York run, it's an SSB Gold or 4x4 Extreme. The plate design and AGM construction are built to tolerate vibration and deep cycling.
The SSB range.
SSB Gold Series
Premium maintenance-free car & 4WD batteries — SS36 through SS88 sizes. Heavier plates, longer life, better cold-cranking performance.
SSB Silver Series
Budget-conscious replacement range. Still SSB quality, more accessible pricing — ES40T through ES88 sizes.
SSB Stop-Start (EFB / AGM)
EFB and AGM technology for modern vehicles with start-stop systems. SS36ti through SS110ti — getting the right one matters; we'll match it to your vehicle's spec.
SSB 4x4 Extreme
SS66TX, SS70US, SS86X — built for deep cycling, dual-battery touring setups, and the kind of conditions that kill car batteries.
SSB XR Motorcycle
The RTX series, including the harder-to-find motorcycle sizes. RTX4L-BS through RTX20-BS.
SSB Lithium
LS70zz, LS66T lithium starting batteries. Half the weight of lead-acid, faster charging, longer cycle life.
SSB Commercial Truck & Bus
ESN100 through ESN200, SS70zzc, SS86c. Vibration-rated, terminal layouts for fleet vehicles.
The honest take.
The Stop-Start range matters in modern Euro and Japanese cars, where the charge cycling is brutal on a battery that was not built for it.
