I went out to the garage to start my car today to let it run for a little bit to charge the battery up and it was completley dead. I have heard once the Odyssey dry cell batteries go all the way dead they are ruined. Any truth to this? I live in Ohio and my car is stored in the garage all winter so i need to figure out what to do to keep the battery maintained so that i dont have to buy a new one every year. I did a little research on some fourms and people said you have to get a special battery tender/charger for drycell batteries. I know alot of people run these batteries so i need your advice on what to do.

 

get the odyssey trickle charger. I think it's 30 dollars

 

I killed my 680 a few times installing audio or leaving the dome light on and it worked great for me for about a year of daily driving until I ****ed up one of the terminals (if your using the bolt on top for connection be careful not to tighten them down very tight)

 

This battery is great because it is a "deep cycle" battery which means that if it is discharged (within reason) it can be recharged and work just fine.

(Most normal lead/acid batteries cannot hold a charge well once they are drained)

 

just take it inside for the winter, should stay charged and if not like stated above it cn be recharged thats what dry cell batterys were ment for. to be used on boat trolly motors
