Great big ditto on the Odyssey. Mine is about 3 years old and still cranks like first installed and never been on a tender. Has more CCA than anything else out there that I could find. Next time I may try a Lio just to drop 25 to 30 pounds. Been reading decent reviews on them.

Bought a new battery at BatteryMart for a good price and took old one to Advanced Auto and received five bucks for recycling. Battery is now 1 year old and no problems.

Batteries Plus carries the same AGM batteries sold by your local dealer.

If you got 7 years out of brand X why in hell would want to buy a different brand?

I bought a Yuasa last year, good price, terminals are placed correctly. So far it's been trouble free.

Back in May, I bought an aftermarket battery at Advance Auto Parts. It was the same manufacturer that makes Harley batteries. I found that info on this forum.

AGM Thundervolt battery is what I use. No problems cranking my 107" engine.

Ran into the same thing before. Annoying as hell I just took it back instead of screwing with it.
