[QUOTE="B E N, post: 1619646, member: 33355"] Keep justifying your purchase. And pressuring people to spend money. Yes, batteries are made from lead. That's pretty standard. It better have a better warranty, since it costs 50% more than store brand AGM, and is a pain in the ass to get replaced if needed. All modern vehicle batteries are maintenance free. Any AGM is spill proof. If you have an Odyssey go on you under warranty in Moab your buying a new battery, or waiting 2-5 days to have one shipped, because the closest retailer is grand junction or salt lake. If you had bought an oreilly or advanced brand you would have a replacement and be back out on the desert. Same thing in MOST rural locations/places people who actually drive their raptors. There is a chain parts store in just about every podunk town in America. Just because it was right for you doesn't mean it is right for everyone. For 90% of forum members it does not make good sense. And as far as your anecdote, I have never had a battery go bad in less than 5 years unless I flat out neglected it, from the cheapest bottom shelf piece of crap, through optima, interstate and odyssey. Or here is an idea, buy the top of the line store brand AGM, a REALLY nice set of jumper cables and a couple of 12 packs. Then you can help strangers when they need it, and if your battery does fail, like every brand does at some point you have an out. And you get some beer. [/QUOTE]
