The point is buying a battery that lasts. I don't like changing my battery every 2 years.

A Panasonic lead acid should last at least 5 years. Not sure if they still make car batteries. Just make sure you don't see the voltage on the dash sit at 15v for long periods of time.
I'm sure you can still find batteries made in the U.S that give you a 3 year warranty. |

The standard group 35 or a powersport smaller unit?
I believe the standard size is 50 lbs in the Odyssey.

Was there a thread on the compatibilty of AGM and our charging system?
From what I have read and researched, there is no way to get 14.4-14.8vdc required to keep an AGM charged. Our IPDM and charging system does the typical 13.8-14.2 for standard Lead acid battery. Not to mention it cycles the charge to save fuel. (SMH)

Autoparts stores don't know everything. or understand specific vehicles quirks. There is alot of disscusion about this on the web. Specifically Nissan, because they all seem to have same type of charging architecture. The supposed rule of thumb is (usually), if the car came with Lead Acid Flooded, stick with that. Likewise for AGM. So the OEM dealers tell me. I'm guessing you'll get FLA with new cars because they are cheaper and lighter than AGM. I thoght there was a thread on this but it can be from another forum. This is from Odysee: A. If the battery is used in a starting application, the alternator should provide between 14.2 and 14.5 volts at the battery terminals. In cycling applications, the absorb voltage should be between 14.4 and 14.8 volts, while the float setting (if applicable) should be between 13.5 and 13.8 volts. The problem is that the Nissan IPDM controls the amount of charge to the batter based on demand. Put a voltmeter on you r battery or observe through a OBD scanner how much the volatge will fluctuate at the battery whil ecar is running and varying the accessory load.

About the only things that are going to damage any type of car lead acid battery is extreme temps and deep discharges with rapid recharges. As with most things the most expensive batteries are probably overpriced for what you need and the cheapest probably too some shortcuts to get there, stick with the middle of the road or a bit above and you'll be happy with an major brand.

I agree. I just like to find out eveything i can and learn in the process. I would really love to do do some real world testing to prove this concern.
In the end, it seems that for cost and weight, optima would have been the best choice. Of course we know quality has been reduced. They are still making Optima and still in business. So who knows. I'm gonna research the lithium route and see where that takes me. I'm not paying $1000 for a battery or having to upgrade a charging system.

You live in an age where a plethora of information is available at your fingertips and easily accessible. I, myself, do tons of research, and then narrow my questions on any given topic.
