According to numerous posts, quite a few Vans aviators are replacing the Odyssey 680 with sealed lead acid batteries due to the "fickle" nature of charging/re conditioning procedure required to maintain the life of the Odyssey AGM battery. Frequent flying with the alternator charging seems to be important for the maintenance of the Odyssey AGM battery. A desulfation procedure seems to be required for non frequent flyers also.
My question: Is the sealed lead acid battery less susceptible to improper charging procedures, ie. not so frequent flying, and use of trickle or batter maintainer chargers? Also, what is the down side of a sealed lead acid battery?
Comments on experience with the SLA battery?
