Reply to "Battery Choice"

Julian,

I have been running a dry cell Odyssey PC925 for 3 years now, and I am very happy with it. It's hard to believe such a tiny battery could crank over a Cleveland, but it does. The best thing of all is it only weights 26lbs. The conventional battery it replaced weighed 41lbs. I bought the battery from Dennis Qualla.
I would never go back to a wet cell or gel battery on my Pantera.

My car is now off the road for the winter, I do have a battery tender but only hook it up for 24 hours once every couple of months. I have a battery kill switch, so there is no drain when I am not using the car. I don't like the idea of keeping the battery tender on permanently. A friend of mine did this on a conventional wet cell, and found it to be totally dry (and dead) 6 months later. I would be interested to know if anybody else has experienced battery failure as a result of keeping it hooked up to the tender?
