After many years of using the stock battery it finally died yesterday and by everyone's suggestion I got the Bosch AGM as well. The blue matching the car color was a bonus! haha

Running the Braille B2317RP, 17 lbs and great CCA. Can go 2 weeks before it needs to be on a tender:

I've since changed the mount from this vertical to horizontal but you get the idea:

10lbs battery, with auto power shut off. So you no worries if you left your car/lights still in ON mode.

Update on my Bosch Platinum AGM. It died after 2 years and 6 months and I daily about 10K miles per year. Before it died, I never had to jump the battery during my ownership. Luckily Pep Boys honored the warranty (4yrs) and swapped it, but I don't think I'll pick up another one in the future. Unless you guys think that's normal wear?

I'll probably get Odyssey next.

yes they do. i had mine replaced a few weeks ago at no charge to me. however, the car died at the gas station and AAA jump started the car, after this the hood doesn't stay open. the shocks gave out all of a sudden with no warning. my wife DD the IS F currently.

How are you liking the battery so far? Any disadvantages you've found?

so far no disadvantage, i like it coz its automatically shut off when the load run down.
