A week ago I told of how good Odessey was about replacing a battery that was just one month over the stated warranty period. I have no problem with the way it is being handled but due to other Odessey failures in young batteries I have decided to choose another brand. Last summer I got an Odessey for my truck and one month later it failed and needed to be replaced. Just this weekend It failed again and I put the 5 year old Delco I had removed and was sitting on a shelf back in and it fired right up. Another warranty claim pending. Very disappointing. Well all this prompted me to compare and I found the Odessey PC545 I was using in the bike, supposedly the best I could get, had 14AH and 185 CCA. Well the regular Yousa battery has 18AH and 270 CCA and if I wanted to pay more I could get the high performance Yousa and get 18AH and 310 CCA. I just ordered the Yousa from the local auto parts place and was done with it. Everyone watch your Odessey batteries. The failing of the battery in the fall may also have contributed to my engine knock from ignition problems. Either way my trust is gone. PS. Does any one want a good deal on the new PC545 Im recieving under warranty?

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.

I bought my 1.25amp Battery tender Plus in 2005 during Daytona week and was using it ever since. I always plugged it in summer or winter whenever I parked the bike in the garage and the Odessey was always at full charge. Until last week when I went into the garage and the green light and red light was out. I thought that I had forgotton to turn it on but I had turned it on as usual. My Odessey battery was stone cold dead cuz it had drained out thru the charger. I started my bike with jumpers from my truck and ran it for 15 minutes or so and then I attached my other 0.75 amp Battery tender and it took 3 days to get the battery back up to full charge. I was afraid that I had ruined my Odessey (PC680) but it looks as if it'll be OK. I bought the Odessey also in 2005 in Florida. Just a warning about keeping an eye on any charger you have hooked up. db
