Lol they just happen to have the right numbers in the titles but in the wrong order.

I could do with one too daniel if you find something, would none of the motorbike ones do the job?

They're brilliant Dan. Other month my car wouldn't start. 3 hours on the trickle charger, good as new.

I'm just concerened about the battery (oddysey race battery) as it keeps going flat and I keep having to jump it. It can't be doing it any good.

Glad I stumbled across this. Ordered one for myself.

Intresting having issues my self 2nd battery been replaced twice it goes flat, chared as per instructions and nothing at all its not enough to start it, having too carry a battery and leads with me at all times! What a joke and tweeks say there isnt a fault its my car!!!!

 

[Bluebeard]

Yeah I was told it must be my starter motor but as soon as I disconnect my little oddysey battery and connect a normal 063 clio battery, it fires into life no bother.

Been having issues with mine too. Odyssey loses power when off the car. Strange! Ctek are a must with these batteries for me

I was told that race batteries shouldn't ever be trickle charged unless they have a voltage cut-out on the charger. Consequently mine just gets topped up with a normal charger which stops charging when the terminals reach 13v. Above 14v and you'll kill the battery.

 

[Jay Payne]

Yes thats what they Ctek ones do. Cut out when charged.

When we did the group buy on these batteries I did mention several times that chargers were available from the same bloke for a good price and were recomended if the car had infrequent use. But not one person wanted one out of the 25 odd that went through on the group buy
