How much is a car battery in Australia? Size and type decide the sticker. An NS60 flooded in a Corolla class car is not a DIN66 AGM in a stop-start Euro. Compare the fitted total — battery plus fit and test, plus the old one taken as waste — for the size and type your car actually takes.
These are example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. A house-brand flooded at Supercheap Auto or Repco sits toward the bottom of a band; a named AGM at Battery World sits toward the top. Dollars are AUD. GST is usually in the sticker.
Example battery-only vs fitted, by size and type. Fitted here means the battery plus fit and test plus the old battery taken as waste. Coding on a European stop-start car is extra if the quote says so.
Fitted assumptions (examples, not a tariff): battery + fit/test. Old battery taken as waste or recycling. No core deposit. GST usually in. Coding extra if the quote says so. Hybrid and EV high-voltage packs are not this page.
| Size | Type | Common on | Ex. battery only | Ex. fitted |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| NS60 | Flooded | Corolla / Civic / small Japanese class | example $100–180 | example $150–250 |
| NS70 | Flooded | Camry / Mazda3 / mid Japanese class | example $120–200 | example $170–280 |
| DIN66 | Flooded | midsize Euro / no stop-start | example $150–250 | example $200–320 |
| DIN66 | EFB | stop-start family / CUV | example $200–320 | example $260–400 |
| DIN66 | AGM | stop-start Euro / heavy electrics | example $280–420 | example $340–500 |
| DIN88 | AGM | larger stop-start, ute / 4WD / heavy electrics | example $320–500 | example $390–600 |
Example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. Fitted = battery + fit/test + old battery taken as waste. Coding extra if the quote says so. GST usually in the sticker. Hybrid/EV HV packs not this page. AUD.
Every dollar in that table is an example, not a sourced 2026 street price. Same physical size is the point of the three DIN66 rows — flooded for no stop-start, EFB for stop-start family / CUV, AGM for stop-start Euro / heavy electrics.
Leisure, marine and hybrid/EV high-voltage packs are not this table.
Fitting on a Japanese hatch with the battery on top is minutes. Coding on a European stop-start car is a workshop job. Skip coding and you get a warning light, a battery that never quite charges, or stop-start that stays off.
The old battery is taken as waste or recycling when they fit the new one. There is no core deposit on the sticker.
A flat battery after lights left on is often discharged, not dead. Ask for a test before you buy. Warranty is part of the price — a longer free-replacement period is cheaper per year even at a higher sticker.
Example only: NS60 flooded often $150–$250 fitted; NS70 $170–$280; DIN66 flooded $200–$320; DIN66 EFB $260–$400; DIN66 AGM $340–$500; DIN88 AGM $390–$600. Example ranges only, not surveyed or sourced 2026 prices. Same group, different class. AUD.
Only if the quote says so. Supercheap Auto, Repco, Autobarn and Battery World often quote a fitted total at the shop. Mail-order is battery-only until a workshop adds labour. Coding is extra if the quote says so.
Yes. EFB can step up to AGM. AGM cannot step down. A flooded battery in a stop-start car kills stop-start or dies early.
On a lot of European stop-start cars the management system has to be told a new battery is in. If the quote says coding and the fitter cannot do it, you do not have a fitted price yet.
It is taken as waste or recycling when they fit the new one. There is no core deposit on the sticker.
No. This page is 12V starter batteries. Hybrid and EV high-voltage packs are a different product.
