Well I think it's time to buy a new battery and was wondering the groups opinion on which battery to get. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
I believe the Odyssey's are smaller and lighter than the Optima's but are there any other differences I should be looking for? Any good deal links would be useful too. This will be going in a 'Semi' DD and the only extra pull I will need would be for a decent sound system. Thanks... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) |

Had an Optima, worked okay (til dead), but was even heavier than
stock battery. Got an Odyssey (680) and even though it is much smaller and lighter, it has no trouble spinning the -6 very fast, and for quite a long time in the temperatures when we drive our cars. I busted a wire in the ignition system last month and in proving what what was wrong, cranked and cranked and never seemed to get near death. Two thumbs up for odyssey. |
