Dreamr Posted 26August, 2020 Report Share Posted 26August, 2020 That is a bargain! ... I just bought one from Repco 4 days ago and got them to price match Kogan who sell them for $129 .. I thought I was the ducks nuts! .. Oh well ... back it goes only to re-buy this pack! ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Phil Posted 26August, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 26August, 2020 I bought mine from Repco for $118 and like you I thought a great buy. This is so cheap I may buy another one. I think it may have an extra battery too (as a bonus extra) that you can use to charge your phone. If so I may grab it for use on the golf course with my mobile as the club now insists we use MiScore and it chews up battery life (when we can play again that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreamr Posted 26August, 2020 Report Share Posted 26August, 2020 For those of you that are interested in my saga with my new Ctek charger, here goes ... So I took my "bargain buy" back to Repco to swap it for this pack. The manager was hesitant to take it back as by her reasoning, I got it for a bargain price so the fact that it has been reduced even further is just bad luck. I even got a grocery example of buying groceries and the unit price going down the next day ... 🤯 yeah .. ok? .. didn't have the heart to argue that if I bought coffee 3 days ago and then it was 1/2 price, you can bet your life that I'd take it back! ... Anyhoo .. she reluctantly agreed even though they have a 30 day return policy ... even for change of mind 😅 So ... for $30 less than I paid I got the charger, a rubber non slip cover, an indicator attachment with eyelets (see photo) and a portable USB phone charger ... a worthwhile exchange I'd say. The photo shows the eyelet attached to the battery and coming out the side of the battery cover ... all nice and neat! .. 😀 firstone, JWM and Allan C 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Phil Posted 26August, 2020 Author Report Share Posted 26August, 2020 What is the phone charger like? Is it a battery storage unit that you charge and then use later if needed eg on a golf course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should give your iPhone/Android 2 - 2.5 charges if it is fully charged. Lucky Phil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seriously is a good deal .. forget all the extras for a minute, the charger itself is a bargain for $99. I'm thinking of getting another one for my other car, even though I don't need it. It comes with the permanent mount to the battery which ive used on the 996, as well as quick connect clamps so easy enough to use on 2 cars .

Yep exactly what I was doing too. Every second Thursday I placed the the two garaged cars on charge. I can now leave these two on charge full time. My new one arrived this morning as well. Was too good a deal not to share with the group. I hope a lot of PFA members have benefited Tips and Dalai 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try setting your store to one in Canberra as they have the $99 deal available for postage ($10 extra for post); as the website seems to allow postage for stores there. It may allow for postage to Melbourne. James P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikos Posted 4September, 2020 Report Share Posted 4September, 2020 Don't need one but couldn't resist. Just popped into my local Sydney branch who found two available from a branch in the Northern Territory. Would normally be $60 delivery but given it's a promo, delivery is free. May take a couple of weeks but in no rush as it's just a spare. TwoHeadsTas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
