    I had one in a high hp motorcycle. I was not Impressed took it out and did way better for less money than that overpriced battery.

    Skip kinetic and go to xs power if you are spending the money, they are just that good IMO.

    If you have a good alternator and a capacitor what difference does the battery make unless everytime you're blasting your system is without the motor running?

    for the love of god don't use a capacitor just buy a larger main battery or run a 2nd battery in back, or do it the best way and buy a bigger alt

    I like the Odyssey's as well! The 925 spins over my 10:8 to 1 engine like the plugs are out of it! Re-charges quick (when using under drive pulleys) too! My motorhome coach Odyssey lasted 9yrs.

    I need a good cranking battery in a small package - I could care less about the system end of it - my system is simple and would not require an upgraded battery.

    I used to like Duralast Golds but lately they look "cheap: to me (the whole top is not yellow like before). For my last car I bought a Platinum from oreilly (everstart?) seems to be good

    I know that some people have had issues with Optima but my last one went 8 years before I killed it, so I replaced it with another. This is in a truck that sits in the garage all winter.
