In two or three weeks when I pull out the baby from hibernation I'd like to replace the battery. I was at a promo at one of the dealerships and some one was there representing the Ballistic brand. Does any one have any experiance on this battery or another good maintanince free or gell battery?

I still have the original in my GL1800 but when I had to replace the battery in my 98 GL1500 i went with the Westco AGM battery. It was in the bike for 6 years and started every time. I kept it on the battery tender when the bike sat for any length of time.

I have no need for batteries for my bikes yet, but the gel batteries have my interest.

I know what you mean. I'll go with either the no maintanace or gel.
I'm so confused.

you want an odyssey. for winter just disconnect the negative cable and leave it on the bike. come spring reconnect the negative cable and hit the starter. if your odyssey needs to be put on a charger you have a power drain somewhere. there is no water in an odyssey to freeze but like any battery it can have an internal short which isn't very likely so search the web and catch one on sale, thats what i did

I am going to check out the odyssey tomorrow because it seems to be the choice from the forum.
I'll let you know how it goes.
Thanks

Tell me about it. My cousin and good friend have been riding all winter long. I call one this afternoon and they where both out riding again.

My old battery is ok to start, but definitely needs to be changed.

A year ago, I got a gel battery from Budget Battery for $80 and it has been starting without any issue so far.

I have been reading about this newer battery that weights 12 lbs less than the factory OEM. Expensive. Not sure if it is worth it to me, but someone on a different forum was spewing about it in his pull tent camper.
