319 is the rrp for the D51, but can be had for alot less then that. i think i got it for around 240, i'd have to dig up the reciept somewhere and let you know where i got it from but at the time it was the cheapest place in syd that i could find...

nvm i got a cheapo battery .. i could have bought a optima for $275 but yeah none in stock atm..

and i needed a battery asap coz my car wasnt starting

how long does the odyssey batteries last if anyone know?

[wynode]

Depends how well you maintain them :)

[doriemon]

does it need any maintenance?

[wynode]

Not 'directly'. But every so often (see the instruction manual for exact period) a full discharge and propper recharge will help lengthen the life of the battery.

ic so if its proper maintained how long will it last?
