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...)

Well I'm in for one of these batteries, would there be any others in order to get the GB price going ahead?

You have a p.m.

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

    • At least yours have parkour down pat. One of mine will still trip over his own shadow and fall over... He's a special type of cat... Ha ha ha
    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
