[s-cars] Battery issue

[Stephen Redford]

-------------  I second that suggestion.  Odyssey is good .  They are a deep cycle battery as well as a "Car" battery.   They can be discharged over a 100 times and re charged without damage..  Try that with a conventional battery and unless you Really over charge it,   There is no way the acid can get out.  They are supposed to be a military spec. unit.  Built to take vibration also.  I use them in all my cars and my BMW Sidecar rig..     Also , they are "so safe" that Ups will ship them, no problems.. I got mine at WestCoast Batteries in Ca.      ... Stephen Redford

  Try Odyssey instead. They're designed for long periods of sitting,
  e.g. as in HMMVs waiting to go to/from Iraq.

  They're the highest energy density battery you can find for an
  automotive application. Like Optimas, they don't care how they're
  oriented.

  They're not cheap - but neither was your Audi. You get what you pay for...
