[QUOTE="Comet Rider, post: 11093, member: 36"] [b]Odyssey Gel batteries[/b] Most of these gel style batteries are designed for another application entirely, then adapted for automotive use. The original battery was deisigned by Hawker batteries for telecommunications use, where the battery is designed to sit there for years, and support the load when the mains fails. They are not designed for high cranking amps (same with the varley red-top race battery) over a long period. Hence the lower CCA rating;) For reference I can get the Hawker equivilent of the odyssey battery for the BMW GS for only £25 if I buy them in 10's Neil PS Hope to see many of you at the Herts & Beds/ Sidecar/ Series A rally this weekend:D [/QUOTE]
