Tom,
I have a B&C BC100-1. While trying to compare the B&C BC100-1 to the Odyssey I discovered a very similar appearance. I believe that they may be the same battery. The engineer at B&C said that he would personally pick the BC100-1 because he had fewer complaints about this model.
Take a look at:

and then compare it to:
http://www.odysseybatteries.com/battery/pc925.htm
I left my master switch on for 7 days last year. The battery was stone dead. After an in flight recharge, the battery is now still in perfect shape. The in-flight recharge went to over 50 amps and blew the circuit breaker several times before the charge rate went below 40 amps. I use a Battery Tender when not flying.
Dan Schaefer (refering to the Odyssey batteries)comments:
After extensive investigation, the battery chosen is produced by Hawker Energy Systems in Wales (UK). As far as I could tell, the ingredients Hawker and other potential suppliers used was nearly the same (emphasis on "nearly") but, as one engineer at Hawker put it, "you gotta know when to spit in the brew". I'm sure he was alluding to the fact that there was some subtle but effective differences in various manufacturer's components.

Another series of batteries worth a close look is from Odyssey
(www.odysseybatteries.com).
