Re: Battery DA40XLS
Of note, when you order, have someone go look at the battery you will be getting if possible and tell you the manufacture date. I got mine from spruce a few years back, and the manufacture date was over a year prior, and the voltage was well below what the concorde stuff said it should be in storage, which can lead to decreased battery life and lowered full charge capacity. If they sit for a while, they are supposed to be put on chargers at these places, but I doubt anyone does that. I needed mine pronto, so went with it instead of trying to send it back for a replacement, and it seems to have done fine over the past few years. But if get another one, I am definitely having the date checked first!

I could not agree more! After having the starter motor issue initially mis-diagnosed as a battery issue the replacement battery had been manufactured 9 months before we installed it and then lost a whole day waiting having to fully charge it.
For Aussies interest that battery is $900 AusD = $687 USD, = 654 Euro
Cheers
