--> KR-List message posted by: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Bob,
I just bought that exact same battery via Ebay from www.motobatteries.com I paid 58 dollars and change pus shipping came to a total of 72 dollars and change. Obviously if you have read the specs, this thing has a tremndous storage life and is able to maintain a hugh percentage of it' s charge after a long dormant time. Mine arrived with about a 53 % charge but was still able to pull 360 CCA. That's impressive in my book. Mine weighs just over 11 lbs even though the spec is something around 12 - 13 lbs. I had used a Die Hard small engine battery, It embarrased me more times then it worked at the most recent check showed it had a dead cell. I can not speak of the Odessay 535 as far as lasting for years as I have only had mine a month but they sure give it a warrenty to back up their claims. I can say this however, this thing will crank my Type II forever as I used it for compression tests and other tests and when I was done it still had plenty of power to start the engine. My Die hard even when new, could not do that. Jeff York Lexington, KY.
