The guy I buy my batteries from has told me several times when asked about the best battery for the westy that the Odyssey is NOT a good choice. Way expensive for the capacity and will not get charged properly without doing some tweaking to the charging circuit. Do you really need to spend 2 or 3 times as much just to have a cool-looking battery that won't leak acid if you roll yer westy? My 2 cents... Cheers, Keith O |
