There was a post not long back about a chap that had found a website that did Odessey Red top race batteries for about £90....

Can anyone remember the website?

Also check Shaws Motorsport at Mallory Park, that's who we got our Odyssey from, good price and super quick delivery.
PS. Is a 15 cutting it a little fine, our 22 weighs next to nothing and has more amp hours and was cheaper I think than the 15 when we bought it about 3 months ago. So far it's been perfect, even when we were having engine problems and were starting it repeatedly, never went flat.

Should be fine, they are much higher cranking amps than a car battery anyway. It's just the Amp/Hours that are lower...

Just make sure you get a proper battery charger/ keeper as bike batterys dont like being left.

I'm getting a 25 for the m3 engine so that should be fine for something of 2.0 or smaller in size.

I've got a 25 on my 5.7L V8

The car is garaged though so won't see the coldest temps in winter which is when it might struggle.

I rang up today and he said although the 25 would be fine in hot start conditions or a similar situation a 30/35 might be better. Although a lot of the ultima guys run the 25 like yourself on the LSXXXXX series of motors.... so what to do!?
