About 20 hrs ago one of my lead acid batterys went dead. That was the 3rd one in 2.5 years. I was using them because I could fit 2 of them in the stock van's battery box.
I decided to get rid of the lead acid and go with the oddessy 680.
The Hawker Odyssey is a lead-acid battery. It is a sealed, absorbed glass mat, valve regulated, lead-acid battery.
That was a very good choice, but I could only fit one in the battery box so I have been using just the one for the last 20 hrs. It turns over the engine faster that both of the lead acid batterys together.
Reading that report reminded me that I mean to put a second battery back in, so I have ordered a second 680. It just occured to me that it dosent need to be in a battery box at all! And I can mount it in any position.
It is best to mount them right side up. They occasionally dribble a little acid when mounted on there sides. They nearly always leak when mounted upside down.
