Maybe that is Canadian dollars you are seeing.

Yes it was, but now its down to $314.00

If you guys are looking at Delco batteries, be sure to get the proper quality series.

I saw the price go up. Just another reason I should have kept my black '92 Z!

I planned on getting one for the '93 but with shipping and handling it's pushing over $350 and that's out of my range for a battery.

Forgive me, Karl. But, this is such an old thread, and why is it you want to pay $350 for an AC Delco battery??? (NCRS points or the like is the ONLY jsutification (?) for one of them. Good ol' Wally World (Gold series) battery - WORK GOOD LAST A LOOOOOONG TIME! (Did I mention inexpensive???)

Both of mine are on tenders. Some prefer battery switches - but I doan wanna go down that rabbit hole again (right now!). But, in any case I'm

as to why you're aching to spend $350 for a danged ol' lead-acid battery, prolly made by the same company (Johnson Controls) that makes most of the domestic batteries.

Paul it is for the Odyssee battery. I am using my cell phone and meant to say I'm not paying that much for a battery.

Karl · 12-12-2018

The battery in the '93 is on a battery tender also. So far so good but I have no idea how old the battery is.

Find a coupon code, great battery, all three of my C4's have this battery. One is relocated to rear compartment and fits neatly. Better performance & and less weight.
GM terminal adapters are from Stinger, order two.20180331_123946.jpg

Is that a 330cca battery in your car?

I have a battery relocation kit (not installed yet) and really do not need the side mount battery which seems to cost more.

George Maz · 12-13-2018

Cold Cranking 330
Pulse Hot Cranking 900 (5 seconds)

The AGM is low internal resistance by design, so it will deliver whatever demand (starter) at a higher amperage, than even a larger battery of flooded cell type.

I happen to have an Odyssey battery in everything I own (11 batteries currently), startups are much quicker. Battery longevity of 8-10 years, with more reliable performance throughout.

ODYSSEY batteries are made by Enersys...not Johnson Controls. The Odyssey brand was formerly HAWKER a military spec.

I have been running the Odyssey 75-PC1230 exact fit for a few years now and very pleased.

760 CCA, 815 MCA, 1050 HCA
1230 Cranking Amps for 5 Seconds
110 Minute Reserve Capacity
Cycle life @ 77° F 400 at 100% DOD
-40° F to 140° F Temperature Range

I also put Odyssey batteries in the Mercedes and Audi daily drivers, and will change out the Harley original battery with an Odyssey next year. I’m sold on Odyssey!!
