Battery issue

[Taka Mizutani]

I've had a good experience so far with my Optima- got it at remybattery.com,
fast shipping and they could get a 34R which Costco doesn't carry.

The Optima starts the car up a lot faster than the stock battery ever did-
it almost instantly turns over, kind of weird.

I've had it now for a about 15 months, so I don't know long term.

I am considering getting an Odyssey battery- they make smaller and lighter
batteries than Optima, although they cost a fair bit more- the PC525 is
sufficient for the car that mostly sits in the garage on a battery tender as
well as for my Miata, which has tight space constraints for battery size.

If the battery craps out on the Volvo, I might get a PC800, they're
generally well-regarded on miata.net, NASIOC and every where else that I've
had mention of Odyssey batteries (of course, for $160-225 they better be).
