12 volt batteries???????????????????

[RdHuggr68]

I have had it with the Optima battery in my car, I am on my second red top in 4 years and they are junk. I have been looking at the Odyssey gel cell and was wondering if anyone out there has used that brand or knows of a good battery. I checked to see if there is any electrical drain on the system and everything is ok. I even keep a trickle charger on it since it only sees the road maybe 2 or 3 times a month. Any suggestions?
Thanks

Find the size you need, contact Deka and order the same and save 30-50%. Just sayin'...

I didn't see the lithium, lightweight, or carbon series? Maybe just the endurance series?

Not sure about the carbon, but def remember lightweight. I'll see if I can find the link...

EDIT: did a search, Deka us mentioned many times on that forum... http://forums.corvetteforum.com/1580369206-post12.html

Thanks for all the info, I think I am going with the Odyssey battery, it has a great warranty and I still have it in the front of the car on my 68 Camaro. I still have the original style battery support and the Braille doesn't have the lip on the battery for the support.
