My old battery was 7 years old. All my spare batteries that I have around just don't hold much of a charge any more. Time to get a Military Grade Battery.
PHCA (5 second Pulse Cranking Amps) is 1750. CCA is 950. It's a deep cycle Gel Cell. Made from Pure Virgin Lead. There is nothing recycled about this battery.
I paid $330 CDN + taxes for it, list is about $440.
Optimas used to be good, but I heard that there's been a lot of warranty claims with the Optimas since Johnson Controls moved the manufacturing to Mexico. For the Odyssey, I get a 4 year free replacement and a 10 year pro-rated warranty. Can't beat that. It'll be a shame to get the battery dirty!
Now I just have to upgrade the battery cables. They're starting to get the corrosion from the inside problem.
