Has anyone had any experience using these? I had an optima before and I found that it kicked ass, but haven’t talked to a lot of people with Odyssey batteries.

Any thoughts??

Thx.

If you’re looking for a small battery that doesn’t need to be vented you can go to Rockeys Battery on the south side and they sell Miata batteries.  
They’re pretty small and it was able to start my Roadster in -30 without problems.

aww fuck I can’t remember off hand.  
Around $100 that’s all I’ll say.

This Odessey battery runs about $160 which is pretty much what I paid for the Optima as well.

i think Odyssey is the direct competition to Optima batteries. But if you’re going to pay a big price for a battery why not just go with a proven battery, an Optima.
