One thing to keep in mind if your car sits for a long time RD, the Odessey by design will hold a nice charge - especially if you leave it on the trickle - but does require about a 40 minute drive after start up to repalce the drain of intital start up.

Last time I used one under these conditions and went for 10 minute spurts the battery would constantly run down. I could never understand why I would keep it on the trickle, drive for 10 mins and then next time it would turn over slow. I spoke w the factory rep who confirmed this. The idea is to put it away in a fully charged state if possible.
