What's your opinions of them? Don't hesitate,just need some info from actual users and not some sales site or reviews(which I never believe anyways).

I had heard of them. There seems to be an ongoing debate about whether to go Odyssey or Optima... the Odyssey is smaller footprint, no?
I have no experience with them so I can't help you there and also won't vote because I've heard of them but don't have experience (I just wrote that already).
A few places I know of that handle them (Jeepers&Creepers and my local shop Elias 4WD) are reputable, so that speaks well for them in my mind.

The best battery you can buy. I have several of them. If you are using solar, then Lifeline battery is better, but for vehicles Odyssey is best

I second what Quinn said. I have one in my Mustang race car and it has been the most reliable battery ive ever used. Definitely well worth the money.

Back before Odyssey bought them they were called Black Panther Predator. I spent 600.00 on three batteries for my diesel samurai and they all died in one year!!!!!

I can't speak for them now, but they sure cost me some years ago.

Another way to go is the sears die hard platinum P-1 it's a rebadged Odyssey battery with a full 4 year replacement warranty, 100 month pro-rate. YOu can get it at most sears across the country :)

Odyssey batteries are exceptional. As a matter of fact, many of the desert racing trucks I have seen are running them. If you only have room for one battery, the Odyssey would be my pick, as it combines high CCA AND amp hours in one package.

I'm planning on getting the Sears Platinum (made by Odyssey) and try in out soon.
