Battery ODYSSEY or OEM KIA

With winter coming, I bought an odyssey extreme battery for my 2017. I’m not going to risk it.

I have one of these and its been perfect for 5 years with a 700watt sound system on a v8 truck.

I have the Odyssey Yellowtop

Learned that the battery in the Sorento was incorrect. Replaced with correct battery. All is right in the world.

Going with Odyssey MK7.5. The one in my Raptor is awesome 3 years old and tests like it was new. Its not lighter but its a great battery. Try Braille batteries.

I've been using an Odyssey 925 in the Miata with no issues. It gets driven mostly on the weekends and a few times during the week but stays on a B&D 2 amp tender when not driven. I've had this setup for about 6 months so far and it works great for my particular situation with a 3rd car.

The Odyssey PC680 is probably the best battery out there, if you can make it fit. I'd stay away from lithiums, you buy those when you are looking to save weight. For reliable low temperature operation, stick with a lead acid thats had decades of development.

I used straps like the first link when I had an Odyssey battery a few years back. Eventually went back to an OEM one but the straps were an easy solution

I've had decent luck with Odyssey batteries

I used Odysseys PC-680 on other cars, particularly on Evos. They weight about 15lbs and they free up spaces dramatically but the reliability is awful. I went through 3 of them once. They will start the car with a little bit of difficulty but don't try to start the car with the A/C , the radio etc because they can't.
