WHAT?! The Optima Batteries are IMO far better than any other battery out there. I have never had any problems with either my Red top(current) or my Yellow Top (Sold). That have plenty of CCA for the cold morning starts.

I have a bit lighter rotating assembly than stock, but my Odessey battery starts my car just fine except in very cold weather when it's a little slower.

I bought a lawn mower battery from autozone. It's rated at 425 CCA and weighs about 15lbs. I got it in December and it starts fine every time. I live in MD so it's relatively cold. Haven't had one problem. Oh yea, the best part is, it only cost me like $35.

Run the Odyssey in the spring summer & fall. Use a stock battery in winter? Be careful if you have a big sound system in your car.
