?? Which Odessey were you looking at?
330 is the 925 Odessey (smaller than the Optima and will start a 6 cyl
effortlessley BTDT)
The problem is the two companies doe not even list the same specs for
the similar batteries
the 1200 will quite literally put out 1200 amps for 5 seconds. the
925...925 amps.
The 1200 is also still a much smaller battery than the Optima equiv.
he he...i'd be deathly afraid if my starter needed 800A to start! Our
triumph batt cables can't handle that kind of current! ha ha
