Subject: Re: Why AGM batts don't last as long as they should

Odyssey batteries used to be a client of ours - we took phone orders and
shipped them from our fulfillment center. They are pricey but from what I
understand are well worth the price. Very well made, long lasting, dry cell
batteries. Their original application was for marine vehicles (hence the dry
cell). Also, because of the dry cell they can be shipped without fear of any
accidents causing spillage.

It has been several years since I have had contact with them but they above
was my experience at the time.
