That's a good point. My comments were more on the quality of the Odyessy -
but if you can get the kind of warranty on another battery I don't see the
point in paying the extra cash (except the environmental satisfaction of
tossing less batteries every few years). I beleive that originally Odyessy
designed the dry cells for marine purposes - and because there was no acid
in the battery they could be shipped direct to the consumer legally and
safely.
