My less then 4 year old Sealed gel repro battery started acting up end of the summer.I had to move the Charger this weekend so the guy behind me could get his Healy out. The cold finished it off. So I had to go to my Ford friend with my tail between my legs to borrow a spare Ford battery he had. I'm kinda pissed about getting 3 1/2 years out of this expensive battery but I ordered it from Turbo Start who I think is out of business but Im not sure. I guess i'll have to pony up the 250 a new one costs this spring.I guess it could have been worse if it was a Delco Battery.

Wow, that's great Chris. Now tell us what the heck it is. :shruggy:  :icon_smile_wink:
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

The problem is you have to have a good case to put the new Odyssey battery in.  I did the same thing for my fathers el camino.  Cranks over the engine so much faster with the exception of the winter time where I had to use a booster pack on it since it was 20 degrees out and had 20w-50 weight oil in it.
