<p>?? Which Odessey were you looking at?</p>
<p>330 is the 925 Odessey (smaller than the Optima and will start a
6 cyl effortlessley BTDT)<br>
The problem is the two companies doe not even list the same specs
for the similar batteries<br>
the 1200 will quite literally put out 1200 amps for 5 seconds.
the 925...925 amps.</p>
<p>The 1200 is also still a much smaller battery than the Optima
equiv.<br>
</p>
<p>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

those AGM batteries. I made a mistake and used my usual

follow a special method to get it recharged, but finally got
it back to full. However, since then it does not hold a
charge for more than a week. Bummer.

<div>I have one float charger that serves
both my TR3 that has an Optima red top
battery and my TR6 that has a Sears Die
Hard. Seems like even though each battery
is only 2 -3 years old, the Die Hard seems
to need more frequent “topping up” than
the Optima.... Interesting....</div>
