im not a battery expert.. but i dont think these batteries are similarly spec'd to the said odessey range of batteries......

the inside of the batteries are completely different.......

these batteries seem to be your common car battery.. sealed and maintanence free and lacking deep cycle.

I have had these on my jetskis ( smaller batteries ) for 21/2years now and they are still good , normal lead acid would only last 2 years .

I dont bother charging them in winter and they kickstart them after siting there for 6 months . I have to add that 2 strome engines are much easier to kick because of the low compression .

I thought deep cycle batteries are only for electric vehicles like golf buggies where they discharge slowly and constantly. Car batteries deliver quick burst of large currents and spend most of the time charging...

Why would car batteries be deep cycle?

anyway these batteries are $130 wholesale and they are the same sise as the odyssey 1200 , same specs as well 

Odyssey design:

* 3 year full warranty

* Rugged Drycell sealed design

* Military grade

* Vibration resistant

* 60% more starting power

* Deep discharge reserve power <--- deep cycle?

* 2 year storage life

* 8-12 year design life

* Can be mounted in any orientation

im not saying you are selling inferior product wrxhoon... as i considered buying one of these from you.... but u were vague into what u were selling.....

i was under the impression i would have been purchasing a deep cycle battery at a very good price.... and perhaps there could ahve beeen others also...

comparision to the supercharge gold batteries would be more accurate i think...

big car audio in the boot.. is why you would probably want a deep cycle battery.....

for those after a deep cycle battery ... optimas and odesseys are still your path.. is what im trying to say.. thats all...

These can be mounted anyway you want as well , no they are not deep cycle and no the addessys are not deep cycle either . They are both a drycell sealed battery , i have broken up an oddessy battery and i know what they are .

I wasn't vague at all they are same construction as an oddessy and they are made in China , they dont come with the steel jacket that most oddessys come in australia with either . In the usa you can get them with a steel case or without and i dont know where the oddessys are made now, they use to be made in the usa .

No they are not like the supercharge batteries at all, supercharge are a wet cell low maintenance battery not drycell sealed .

If you want a deep cycle battery thats what you should be buying but dont forget they are not suitable for constant charging , so you should realy have 2 batteries if you have a huge sound system and a switch so you dont charge your deep cycle constantly .

The drycell batteries will last longer than normal wet cell ( usualy double the life ) and they crank the car even when they are almost flat but they dont have greater storage capacity that a similar wet cell battery, just greater cranking power .

They are ideal to install in the boot as they dont emit dangerous gasses .

hey mate,

as wrxhoon said, the supercharge gold batteries are nothing like the ones being sold (i have one of wrxhoons batteries)

supercharge gold are in fact a normal maintenance free battery(i used to have a semi sealed one), where as the ones that are being sold here are gel cell or dry cell and are similar to the oddessey range.

a real deep cycle would not be suitable for normal car use, maybe look up what a deep cycle battery is and then u will see that the oddesseys are not really a deep cycle battery.

either way, they are pretty much the same as an oddessey.

I am not an expert, but from what i could see by quickly having a look at the optima web site, these batteries would perform similar to a red top optima.

the yellow top are more towards a proper deep cycle battery for use in car audio applications, and not so much for starting the car all the time.

also note that the optimas have a heavy duty casing, these dont, just a normal plastic case like other car batteries. (not relevant anyway when u are installing it in your boot...)

lol geezz muck ;) ... what do you expect this battery to do? make you breakfast...?

ive had one of wrxhoon's batteries for about 2 -3 months now i think...

and it does everything it should... it allways starts the car, i can use my sound system for ages with the car turned off and then still crank the car over fine... and its 100% sealed so no dangerous gasses

for $130 i dont think you can go wrong... all you bloody snobby brand name fools lol

    • Hmm. Yes. I should have been clearer. 1000s for Haltech, for extra headroom. 725s for Nistune. You might even be OK with 640s, but if the possible power ends up much more than 300 rwkW you will run out of headroom on the 640s. That would probably be OK and a signal to not push it to that sort of power with Nistune anyway. At that level you probably do want to be thinking about engine protection functions. Oh, and all of that presumes 98 only, not E85. Well....the 1000s would allow you to run E85 at ~300rwkW territory, again, maybe sort of running out of headroom. Hard to tell with E85 - depends on the tuner as to how rich they like to set it up.
    • Yes.  The only scenario I can imagine when the answer isn't yes, is if you drive like there is highway patrol behind you at all times.  If your car currently runs, enjoy it and keep saving. Better costs more, keep saving until you can budget the better ECU. It's worth it.  Nope. Plenty of us making >300kw on unopened motors. Mine is unopened and makes about 350kw if I turn everything up, its fine (lots of caveats here, how the car will be used/abused, how long you expect the engine to last between rebuilds, how has the engine been maintained prior to coming into your ownership, etc etc).   
    • Sorry just wanting to clarify, at this power goal, which should I be going? Also, More info regarding suspension, the rear upper camber arms were used to get the camber back to i believe around -0.5 ~ -1 degree (@ Road and Race in Rydalmere), I forgot the exact figure, but ALOT less camber than what it came originally which was like -2.5degrees. Are the traction arms still recommended? The bilsteins from SydneyKid, they've got 400lb/in fronts & 275/in in the rear, revalved to his specs. Intercooler, I'm just having a look at some on Rakuten.jp and some other japanese sites. Might get something from back there, GReddy, Blitz or HPI, all crossflow. Looking at roughly $450-$500 AUD + shipping... Theres not many choices except that chinese branded Justjap unless you go for blitz return flow. Yeah, only downside with Haltech is the price ahhaha, so expensive, and with all the sensors if I go that route... $$$$$ yeesh. Are headstuds/gaskets needed for <300akw?
    • Haltech fanboi reporting in. Buy the Haltech!
