anyone out there running odyssey battery,.need new battery was looking at these cca was low 185. but was 545 for 5 sec and 495 for 10 sec and 420 for 20 sec all really good numbers and 2 year warrenty,and thats what we need a lot of power for short time

i know there are a lot of post on battteries just want some input on the odyssey

I think those numbers are a bit misleading. I was looking at Odyssey a while back and I'm racking my memory a bit here but I think you need a higher CCA number, i.e. disregard those other numbers for x number of seconds.

I had a Odyssey in my Texas Chopper, go with a Braille turns motor over much better.

I went through 2 in six months. And didn't have near the cranking power as the Dekka battery that I ended up with.

No matter what battery you end up with everyone here agrees you need to keep it on some kind of battery maintainer. A lot of guys here have bought the BatteryMinder I sell. You can check it out here. http://valuetec.startlogic.com//page12.html In stock and fast shipping. Thanks

You aught to save your money and just go get a HD Softail AGM battery. It's all you need!

bob52261,
I bought the odyssey545fmj and it cranks much better than the stock battery did. The only problem I had was the dealer I bought it from did not know it took an odyssey charger to charge and maintain the battery. A regular battery charger will not charge it and a regular tender won't work either. I spent another $90 for the odyssey charger\tender and have had great luck with it. The 545 holds 13.5v on the charger in tender mode which is well above the 12.8v needed by these bikes. Works great for me.

That's what I'm saying. And my biggest factor for going just HD AGM. If it comes to warrenty, regardless if near home or on the road, a HD dealer is easy to hit up and warrenty the battery. Otherwise these other ideas are all thru the mail.

 

[bob52261]

thank for all the input guys,checked out the barille and big boar batteries all seem like really good choices ,but can not buy any locally all have to be bought through mail,have to agree with ray and gas man,walk in to any harley dealership and get one for 100 bucks

My local Harley dealer is outrageous. Said it'd be $130 out the door for their AGM battery and only 6mth warranty. And they couldn't even tell me what it was rated for. Advance Auto Parts carries 270cca AGM batteries now (ETX20L) for ~$90, 1yr warranty. Put one in my 2001 Mastiff (107ci, no releases) before I traded her in. Whatever you do, stay away from Batteries Plus. I went through 2 of their 310cca batteries in one year, each with a dead cell (always on a tender). Friend of mine who rides a V-Star had also had a cell die on him in less than a year (from b-plus).
