I have a purchased one for one of my projects .sealed type 12 volt 650 pulse out put .
any good ?

I like reading 4wd magazines (just for kombi destinations) and one thing i notice is that most of the serious competition type off-roaders are using odyseey's so they must be good. They usually run a main starting battery and two hooked up in tandem to run the high speed 24volt winches.They sound like they're bulletproof and they charge a lot quicker than normal lead acid batteries.I think the biggest drawback is the cost........but if you want the best......I'd get one for my dual cab.

yes $225.00 a hit :cry

what is the demensions for one, are they small or large. Are they lighter than an ordinary one ?

I still have my math O matt here yes
185 long X 185 wide x 80mm deep
weight 10 kg on the dot !:thumb hows that for service SIR

thankyou BOSS

hee hee for your buggy craig ?

yep, and one for my new road/race car.

I hate hackers or I have now had too may of the Crown largers Um there seams to be all of these stars on the screen hee hee hick up ! burp (!) fisss
hee hee well done (?)

hee hee I still :P :P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P:P well done :sandrine

Ok . as I am all ways in the shed working on some thing > a old bloke in stubbies ( shorts ) with motors all over the place and with a miners helmet & light on his head ! some thing differant hey !all ways in the shed at night :sandrine

yes chris ,it was three weeks back I lent the above battrie .It did come back fucked for sure so I lent a new one he gave me a story that a cell had killed its self ?? this was a new one never used by me !

so
I had three tests done on the battrie different places .
all three said the alternator * regulator has over charged it *
So out of this I can say I will never ever lend another item ,I had to chase this to the end to get a replacement from the guy ,I must say he did come to the party with a replacement .But I had to call around to find it in the end .
say no more seagull

:jesus

ODYSSEY BATTERIES, ya'll have come to the right place.
i worked for the largest odyssey supplier in australia in brisbane for a few months where it was my role to install, reccommend and repair/maintain damaged batteries. so here are the facts->

they rock. if they are taken care of i've seen them last for up to 8 years in taxi cabs and the usual life span is around 5 years.

essentials to keep battery healty-> keep as far away from heat as possible, limit vibration, recharge after use and MOST IMPORTANTLY, charge at (now i cant quite remember this but i think it is..) 13.5V or higher otherwise warranty is technically voided (as per instruction manual states). when a battery is undercharged it will suffer from sulphation which will clog and destroy the batteties plates. sulphation is practially irreversible apart from pulsing the charging energy in excess of 10, 000 times a second as opposed to a constant flow.

the odyssey battery will die within 3 years or less if not charged above that voltage, no exceptions. rear mounting the battery in normal passenger vehicles can cause dramas as due to the length of the battery cables, voltage drop ocurs. thus to get the desired volatge input the alternator normally has to be putting out like 14.5 volts or something, which happens in a small minority of cars say 5%. the battery can be mounted in any postione you want, sideways upside down etc, has a superior discharge and recharge rate due to its %100 lead plate composition as opposed to lead/tin batteries and is maintenance free. the acid is basically held in sponges betweend plates as opposed to a regular liguid battery. ummmmmm, what else, oh yeah size and cycle ability!

the odysseys come in several sizes ranging from motor bike size to tractor size. the motor bike sized one has enough zap to kick over a cranky size V8, and is often used in show cars hidden up under the front guards. these batteries are a good deep cycling battery but if you want it purely for that reason then get a speciality deep cycle battery as this is more a hybrid.

ummm thats about it really, if you take care of it as described then its a good investment.....

Thanks good reading seagull:beer

You might have missed something, airfooled, Street Machine reckon they're the duck's nuts for any vehicle that is stored for long periods (don't die like normal batteries...)

Well the answer is not so clear, but their one of the best:thumb
