Considering a new battery for my Commodore was $140, I would think that was cheap enough. I'd say anyting cheaper & best carry some jumperleads around with you.

century yuasa batteries use virgin lead, exide and super charge use recycled lead.
a flyer came round the other day super cheep auto selling batteries (century) for $175 my suggested retail from century yuasa (i sell yuasa same battery different sticker) was $156 but i sell them for $135 fitted, charging system checked, terminals cleaned and non corodde pads fitted, i dispose of the old battery. point is places like repco/warehouse/supercheap/bnt- etc sell batterys at retail, go to your local auto sparky and get it properly tested, ie battery and charging issues, current draw etc and get a good price on a battery

Quite a few people come in and ask for the "cheapest battery".
"That battery is not suitable for your car, it is only good for old cars with no EFI and only basic electrics."
"Don't care, I'm selling it."
The new owner comes in a couple of months later and expects a free battery because the one that is still "under warranty" has failed.

I got a good price on Panasonic baterries.I have fitted them to a Nissan UD bus, Toyota townace diesel and a petrol car. Prices on all of them were very good. The battery in the diesel is over two years old now and still good. Local Total oil distributor sells them here. They were the best price when I checked.
