My optima gave up the ghost today and I'm battery shopping. I'm thinking of getting a odysssey but before I do does anyone have a better suggestion?

I completely drained my PC680 down to 5 or 6 volts just sitting over the winter, maybe 2 or 3 months. It was weird since I started it once or twice after sitting for the same amount of time and it was fine. A few months later it was dead, go figure.
I charged it with an old regular car charger, with voltage swinging wildly (not good). Then I got the $30ish charger from batterymart, part # 1206 sounds familiar. Now it stays plugged in almost all of the time and was good to go at the last autocross. That includes the first of the morning, at the breakfast stop, tech, 8 runs, another 2 just for jockying the car around, 1 for the way home, and 1 last time after clearing out the 'long term storage parking spot.' |
