Does anyone know where I can buy an Odyssey battery in Adelaide?

My 700 died while I was in the US :)

Or is there an alternate small battery anyone can recommend, that I can buy locally? I have i/c piping through half of my battery tray, so I need a small battery.

Hi Andrew

I dont think they sell Odyssey, but there is a battery wholesaler on Research Rd Pooraka near the Bridge Rd end.

Independant Battery Distributors - (Largest Range - All Types Available)

94 Research Rd Pooraka SA 5095

ph: (08) 8260 6111

http://www.independantbattery.com.au/

hope this is of some use.

I purchased a battery from them a few years ago and they were quite helpful.

Ever since I heard bad news regarding Odyssey and the customer service, I've been using Optimal gel cell. I have used a blue top and currently a yellow top battery. I had no problem with them so far.

You can purchase them cheaply from the battery shop on Research road.

I ended up going to Independant on Research Rd and the guy was quite helpful. I ended up getting a EXT30L for $209, which has nearly twice the cranking capacity of my old Obyssey, and I made up a new battery bracket and managed to queeze it in the small space available. Works a treat!

Good choice Andrew. If you'd gone for another Odyssey it may well have ended in the same result as your last one.

I made the mistake of buying an Odyssey a few years back - very bad experience (both with the product and the company). Ask around about Odyssey batteries and see how many have failed within a very short time frame.

I've been running a D34 Yellow Top Optima for about 2-3yrs now and it has never missed a beat - the car often sits unstarted for months. The only downside with the D34... it's big, and bloody heavy (almost 20kg from memory).

well look who's back from the 'dead' :D How have you been Matt? We have been missing you around here :D You'd better bring that beast out on a cruise in the near future! If you don't have time to drive it, I'll be happy to take her out for a run hehehe

heya andrew u should have called leeroy they get cheeep odyssey from that place.

ill b home monday for the week try to say hi if ur not too busy

nah Matt - Indepenent don't do Odyssey anymore due to warranty issues. Yep, will give you a buzz Monday or something. Are you in Palmerston atm?

thanks williamsF1, but I needed a battery immediately, so the group buy situation was no good.

Mate If Caterpillar sell a battery that small I'd be getting one of those. Cat make by far the best battery on the market. And they are very well priced. Their batteries come with a 5 year warranty, and they are all made to with stand industrail conditions. I have been using them the past 8 years for both work and in my own cars and can not fault them at all, and I have put them through their paces.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
