The Odysey batteries are excellent with low self discharge and, more
important, low internal resistance so that more voltage gets to the starter
motor. The only caution is be sure your charging system will put out 14.4
volts so the absorbed glass mat sealed batteries such as the Odyssey wil get
a full charge. The usual 13.8 for flooded cell batteries won't do it. One
newer option that I have not investigated is the lithium ion battery which
is considerably lighter yet for a given power. You may wish to do your own
home work on the Lion type.
