I went to Sears about two and a half years ago and bought the best DieHard  
they make for my 95.5 S6 and the car loves it. I am very happy with  it.

There are ALOT of different Odyssey models, just make sure you do  your
homework and purchase the right one for your application.  The  recommended
battery for the S4/S6 is the PC1200MJT, which is an excellent  battery but
not much (if any weight savings) at 38.2lbs.  I run a 925t  in the RS6 to
save weight (26lbs), but I wouldn't leave the car sitting for  more than 2-3
weeks without a battery tender.
