Tartan Terror Posted April 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted April 7, 2009 I bought my Odessey battery in 2/07. Well today I needed declare my battery dead as It would not hold a charge or take a charge. I knew I had not had it very long so I called the seller www.batteryweb.com and after looking back over the records I had only had it for one month over the warranty period!!! They promptly told me that they could not help me, Now I got the battery in feb and could not ride until Apr and when I started having trouble with it it was Oct last year. I should have chased it sooner but you dont think till you need it. Well the bloodpressure was up so I asked for Odesseys number which they gave. Expecting I fight I called and was unbelievably suprised. The Tech person I got, Kathy listened and after explaining my situation immediately informed me that they would replace it free of charge!!!! No fight, No hassel. I was told that the stand behind their product and felt it was the right thing to do. How often do you get that nowadays? Anyway applause to Odessey and Kathy.

GeorgeS Posted April 7, 2009 Share #2 Posted April 7, 2009 All I can say is that from 2 years ago, going back, 4 years, I went thru 4 Yuasa Sealed Lead Acid units. Average cost of those was about the same per unit, as the 3 Odyessy's that I have purchaced. Its the same old story with batteries, " They last as long as they last " !! Thats why I have a Backup installed on my bike---- And thats just the way it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1sttenor Posted April 7, 2009 Share #3 Posted April 7, 2009 Good to hear. I have one that's a year old, so we'll see how it does. I keep it on a tender during the winter and watch the voltmeter during the summer. If it gets below 12.5 volts, I put it on the tender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
