Not exactly. Odyssey does have good batteries, and so does the other 5 companies that use the same battery. Kinetic makes some great batteries, but I would look into Power Master. Power Master D2400 (best battery for the price range) http://store.summitracing.com/partdetail.asp?autofilter=1&part=PWM%2DD2400&N=700 +400345+4294769489+115&autoview=sku |

|
Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, Wisconsin Post Number: 2856 Registered: Mar-07 | I'll be getting a yellow top for my next battery. One reason is I know someone with a yellow top and it preforms great. Another reason is because I like how they include both side posts for GM's and the regular posts. Makes life simple  |

Gold Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI Post Number: 1404 Registered: Oct-07 | cause life is so rough for you. |

Gold Member Username: Big_edge_headMilwaukee, Wisconsin Post Number: 2857 Registered: Mar-07 | LOL. You're dumb. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 8618 Registered: Jul-06 | Odyssey all the way..... but whatever you get replace the yellow top so you're not mixing batteries. Ether the odyssey or kenitik will absolutely destroy the yellow top though. Optimas the yellow in particular are to put it bluntly a pile of crap in comparsion. " I'll be getting a yellow top for my next battery. " You have fun with that..... a similat size odyssey or kenetik will own that battery, plain and simple. |

Gold Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI Post Number: 1411 Registered: Oct-07 | hey lowlife, where did you find the PC2150 for $200? |
|
Gold Member Username: Loc_outTeam RE XXX Post Number: 2586 Registered: Feb-05 | Some local guy is selling his. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 8627 Registered: Jul-06 | Stinger batteries are the same as odyssey sold under a different brand name.... and they jack up the price. |
|
Gold Member Username: Tatonka-[Team Audible Insanity]- Post Number: 2369 Registered: Mar-07 | Power master is still the best mentioned. lol If you're going to get an odyssey, look into the other 5 brands that carry the same battery to see if you can get it any cheaper. |
|
Gold Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI Post Number: 1413 Registered: Oct-07 | What would those brands be Nick V.? And do you know of a site that has good prices on Power masters? |

Bronze Member Username: TrueaudiophileNew York Post Number: 36 Registered: Jul-08 | i would look in to some lifeline batteries. they are the best imo. |

Bronze Member Username: TrueaudiophileNew York Post Number: 39 Registered: Jul-08 | http://www.lifelinebatteries.com/ let me warn you though. they are a bit pricey. but worth every penny imo. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 8717 Registered: Jul-06 | You put that under the hood or in the back? Thats a beast of a battery. |
|
Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Philadelphia, PA Post Number: 8718 Registered: Jul-06 | Optima yellow top: 900 amps Odyssey 2150: 1500 amps Aren't you glad you researched that one eh. |
|
Gold Member Username: Loc_outTeam RE XXX Post Number: 2605 Registered: Feb-05 | yellow top 900 amps on the front. Odyssey 1500 amps on the back |
|
Gold Member Username: Th3pwn3rI compensate... Post Number: 8824 Registered: Jul-06 | If you're looking to get the best battery for your dollar don't go with the Odyssey. If money isn't an issue then by all means run it. |
|
Gold Member Username: Snowball123West Allis, WI Post Number: 1488 Registered: Oct-07 | what's best for your dollar than almighty rob? |
|
