Well its been almost a year since I last took the Mustang out I left the odyssey battery in the car so its been dead for about the same time. Do you think its coming back?

No laughing at the $10 walmart voltmeter...

haha well its possible... but probably not. should be sitting at no less than 11.45 when its charged. Take it to a place like autozone if you don't have a charger. They will do it for free in like an hour. plus they'll test it right after.

I have it on the charger now, its only a 2AMP so I will leave it over night. If not I'll take it to my friends shop and hit it with a 20 or 40.

I'll feel fairly stupid if I have toasted brand new $100~ battery over not buying a $18 batter tender. Unfortunately the storage unit does not have a power outlet so I have to remove the battery.

It's a long shot, but it's not impossible for that battery to bounce back. I've seen batteries bounce back from a year of sitting before. It would suck to have to buy a new battery two years in a row. How did that thing perform on the car? Would you recommend one for a street driven vehicle? I'm in the market for a new battery right now. It's between one of these lightweight dry cell batteries and an optima red top.

I would go with the odyssey I know many people running them on daily drivers. it only weighs about 13lbs the redtop I had was over 40lbs

I can't find one of these for less than like $125. Where'd you get it for 100?

Stevecooper

I paid $100~ I got the battery, the terminals, and this mount for about $150 shipped
