T0nyGTSt Posted August 15, 2004 Share Posted August 15, 2004 I think he means sealed vs. unsealed batteries. If they're not sealed, they give off gas (hydrogen?) - in an enclosed space, it can be explosive. IN THEORY... 33 owners should only use sealed batteries. But of course, sealed ones are expensive. T.

T. spot on! this is what i was refering to! so these are fully sealed and no need for the breather hose??

wrxhoon Posted August 18, 2004 Author Share Posted August 18, 2004 thats correct craved , they are fully sealed , just like odysey no breather hose , you can mount them on their side if you wish no need to be mounted upright .

wrxhoon Posted January 22, 2005 Author Share Posted January 22, 2005 A while ago i did a group buy on sealed batteries . Some people have been asking me if i can get them again . I made some enquiries and depending on interest i can get them but the price is slightly higher $ 140 each . These batteries are totaly sealed and they are a copy of the oddessy 1200 but without the steel casing . Anyone interested in a battery ( its a must to have a sealed battery if its the boot , like the 33's and 34 gtrs ) let me know and if i get at least 5 people i'll get then . Pick up in Sydney .

GKTECH Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 Any more info on the batteries? How many CCA's? I need a reasonably good battery for my amps and subs. How much would postage be to Melbourne, 3030. If not too high then i'll take one.

Gizmo73 Posted January 23, 2005 Share Posted January 23, 2005 possibly interested, based on the details and performance of the battery as compared to the oddessy...

Its exactly the same battery as the odyssey 1200 ( odyssey say 1200 cca but thats not true , they are 1200 c.a not cca ) Go to the odyssey website and look at the 1200 cca . Thre is some pics and a comparo with the 800 ca odysey , i dont have a 1200 here to compare it with .
