Battery Choices & Information
I strongly recommend replacing with an AGM battery that cannot leak. Being in the trunk, a leak can cause very serious problems.

I think thats crap. So I called the dealer in Virginia (euroclassics), and talked to the Cory in parts who has always been very helpful to me and he said the battery was 96 bucks. He couldn't ship it but he said if I find anybody who carries Interstate batteries, I should ask for "26R50".
Except the Interstate website doesn't carry any battery by that name.
So, presuming i don't want a braille and would like an OE or OE substitute, what are my options.
Maybe the Braille with the quick disconnect switch is the way to go. I don't drive the car very often and if the braille can hold its charge for many weeks at a time if disconnected (and not connected to a trickle charger), that might be worth it.

That's because Odyssey is a semi-deep cycle battery, but I would run it though a few "conditioning" (de-sulfation) cycles.
Cheers,
Michael
