Battery Exide or ODYSSEY

I've got two of those now (in the Group 65 monstrosity size) and they live up to the promises especially still delivering at low states of charge. I left the parking lights on my truck on for 6 hours and it still started. I'm quite happy with them and would now recommend them over the Mexican-production Optima.

i did the same thing and i couldnt be happier.

Im running an Odyssey battery in my Corrado. Its new to me so I cant give long term feedback on the battery. But the battery doesnt have any lips on the bottom so it doesnt mount into the stock battery spot. Im still trying to figure out a way to mount it properly. Personally it cranked my car up faster then my old optima ever did. I like it and its got a 3 year warranty.

Same here. Mine is about half the size as Tachy's. Have mine in the spare tire well. No problems, other than giving it a charge when the car sits. I run a 400w amp too.

I have this one (or one very similar to it; forgot the model #). I have a metal sleeve/box that is slides into that is bolted down. Had it for over 3 years and it's still going strong.

i also used an odyssey battery that was 14lbs and 55 dollars and never had a problem starting even in fridgid temps. braille is all hype and a name.

I just got a new 47-36 battery made by Exide. The vent tube routes as Dr. Bob describes, and the clamps fit perfectly. My only issue with the new battery is that the vent caps are way at the back and may be hard to reach.

You were right in saying the battery was weak. More or less the battery was beat like a baby seal, so I replaced it with a preimum Exide unit
