Battery Odessey or Optima?

[collinrach22]

Hey so while on deployment car had something going on and the battery is dead. I have looked into Odessey and Optima battery’s. I want so thing that will set us up for a dual battery some day. If people have been running them I’d love to hear what people have to say about them.
Aloha

Check out Northstar AGM batteries before you buy. I’ve used them for years and wouldn’t use anything else.

I ended up going with the odyssey extreme 34. I wanted to go with a 31 but then the bracket and all that starts to add up. The 34 kills the battery I had before so I should last a good amount of time and with all the accessories. My to mention Made in AMERICA

I used to love Optima but they no longer last. They had a nice warranty but I would prefer to not have to use that warranty. I went through 3 and then got an Odessey. Had it for a couple of years now. Much better than the Optima.

Optima’s are great, and I have always used twin marine blue tops (42amp or t4 amp I think) as the cranking batteries but after using a yuasa black ultimate I can’t go back nothing beats them for value and they last forever.

In my classic cars that are left standing for longtimes get odyssey pc1350’s

Check out Northstar before you buy either. They make some great batteries! They were all we used aboard ship when I was in the Navy... Battle ready!

I put an Odessey in mine 4 yrs ago after going through 3 Optima's in about 4 years. - It has never failed in the 4 years I've had it. Will be updating to a dual batt system with the same. No more Optima s for me.

Northstar and Odyssey are the tops. Optima has gone waaaaay downhill since being moved to Mexico.
