Battery ODYSSEY or OEM KIA

I’ve ran odyssey in my RZRs and they always held up through abuse and neglect.

Buy an odyssey. It will pay itself off in the long run nor let you down. I just ordered one for my Rubicon.

I'm running a 320 amp alternator with AGM odyssey battery so far no issues

when we bought our 2024 Kia Sportage hybrid, the salesman was showing us around it and got around to popping the hood, I did not see a 12 volt battery.

Commenting here for others to find. 5TA915105B has dimensions that align with Group 48/H6 specs. I bought an Odyssey 48-720 and it was a perfect fit. Bonus tip - FCP Euro has it for $250 and it includes their lifetime warranty.

I’ve had a group 34 Odyssey in my ‘04 TJ for 4.5 years, no problems at all.

Being designed for industry they have a reputation for much longer life (up to 10 years) and better performance at cold temperatures.

the cars are decent, the customer service at the dealers, hit or miss.

the Vancouver (Coquitlam) dealership i bought my Kia from knew jack squat about my car - I basically just needed them to sell me a car, that I knew more about at the time of sale than they did.

went to a different one, and got a much better experience, they were willing to sit down and talk to you about what the problems were, what options were, etc. So in short, the early EVs (like the one I drive) were kinda iffy depending on your experience, could be great could be terrible, but the classic ioniq is one I would hands down trade in for. The extra cobalt inside the cells means the degradation happens less, it doesn't overheat as quickly, charges reasonably fast, and more efficient than tesla :p

Odyssey and wasn't a fan died quick

I installed the old battery after recharging it and it has been working great until now. The new battery was faulty and I ended up returning it for a refund.
