Generator Won’t Start?

We operate around the clock and our vans carry the N120, N150 and N200 cranking sizes on board, so most Abbotsbury callouts are attended and completed on the same visit. Ring 1300 232 173 with your location and we will give you an honest arrival window before you commit — day or night, weekends and public holidays included.

Often just flat. A set left standing with the control panel and battery charger drawing on it will flatten a healthy bank if the charger has failed, and a proper charge brings it back.

A battery that has sat flat for months, or that will not hold a charge after one, usually has sulphated plates and needs replacing. We test it before we sell you anything, so you find out which one it is before you pay for a battery.

Always, and it is free. We measure resting voltage and put the bank under a load test, then check the charger output and look for parasitic drain from the control panel. A flat battery is often a symptom rather than the fault, so if the battery is healthy and something else is draining it, we tell you — you only pay for a battery if you actually need one.

A genset takes a heavy-duty engine-cranking battery, not a special generator type. The common Australian sizes are N70ZZ, N120, N150, N200, the 31-series and Deltec DEL-N120. Which one depends on the engine, the cold cranking amps the manufacturer specifies, the case size the tray takes and the terminal layout. Larger sets run two in a 24V series bank. The control panel and any UPS are separate and use small VRLA-AGM or gel batteries. Use our battery finder, or send your rego through the enquiry form and we will confirm the correct fitment.

Yes. Plant rooms, rooftop decks, basements, switch rooms, gated compounds and remote yards are everyday work for us, right across Abbotsbury and the Sydney metropolitan area, 24 hours a day. Tell us the access and any induction requirement when you call. Nothing is removed from site except the old batteries, which we take away for recycling.

Yes — 24/7 commercial support is a core part of what we do. That covers scheduled load testing so a bank is replaced on a planned visit rather than during an outage, bulk replacement across several sets or sites in one attendance, priority emergency callout and account terms. Tell us how many sets in the enquiry form and we will put together commercial pricing.

It depends on the cranking size the set takes, whether it is one battery or a 24V pair, and where we are coming to. We quote per job rather than publish a price that may not match your plant — free, no obligation, and confirmed before we start. Installation is always included at no charge.

Every battery carries a nationwide manufacturer warranty, so one fitted in Abbotsbury is still covered if it fails interstate. The exact term depends on the battery you choose, and we tell you the term before you buy.

Yes. We remove and recycle your old battery free of charge. Lead-acid batteries should never go in general waste — the lead, plastic and acid are all recoverable, and recycling keeps them out of landfill.
