Default Odyssey Battery Manufacture

Stumbled across this video on YouTube. Our group should find it interesting, considering how many Odyssey batteries we buy.

That guy does a good job on the video. Cool technology built into old science!

Most people are shocked to see the size of the PC680 on the firewall of my 7.

I run one in my midget(racecar) It gets charged before we race.It runs a 6214 MSD ignition It gets abused,turned over which is perfect for an AGM style battery but not for the car.

Yup, I have a PC925 in the trunk of my '66 GTO. Starts the Pontiac 428 with 11.4:1 compression just fine, even after sitting for a month between starts. Great battery.
