Default Odyssey Battery Stuff

Odyssey has come out with a charger specifically designed for their batteries. If you are using an Odyssey, you may want to check it out.

http://www.odysseyfactory.com/docume...DY-ULT-003.pdf

There is an owners manual for this charger which has lots of good information on maintaining the battery. It can be found on the Odyssey home page.

I had a battery failure recently which may have been caused by an improperly designed AGM charger.

I've ordered the 12 amp unit from Batteries Plus for $118 plus tax and shipping. The 6 amp can be had for about $89. It has the same features, just won't charge quite as quick.
