Just replaced the battery in my AU yesterday. Cold (below 4 degrees) mornings here have killed it and it was a three and a half year old Century battery.
I ended up with an Exide X56D from KMart Tyre and Auto here, for $160. It's 560cca. The other battery I was looking at (after recommendations from members on AFF for both these) was a SuperCharge MF50 Gold 600cca for $155 at one of the Battery shops in town.
It just so happened I was closer to KMart when the battery failed so I went there.
A 2 year lifespan out of a battery is not unheard of these days. Have you talked to Comet in Brisbane about it?
If you can get the specific gravity in the battery cells tested it will be a quick indicator if any of the cells and plates have failed (if it's not a sealed battery).
