Thread: Odyssey vs. Diehard Platinum

    Nice to have it confirmed. My optima is 2+ years old so it will surely die soon in the 110 summer.
    Good to know, good to know!

    Very good to know. Any idea if they have plans to do the metal jacket or 1200 series models?

    What about the Marine versions. One of the ones I saw today at sears had 1100 CCA. YIKES! thats a lot of battery. Of course it was $239 for the Marine one.

    No, I think he's just saying good timing since he needs a new battery.

    I asked Kalyan @ EnerSys and she said she wasn't sure if Sears is looking to expand the Platinum range. If they do, she doubts they (Sears) would be interested in the 1200 since it's not a standard BCI group size automotive battery.

    Did you price the 1500 down the street at West Coast Batteries? They are in Corona and the largest Odyssey supplier in the US. I've also found their Odyssey prices unbeatable...

    Just curious, because that price of $189 is sounding pretty good right now!

    Just picked one up in the P-4 (Group 34 w/ side terminals) for $179 at the local Sears.

    Fits great...we'll see how it fares....
