You don't want an Odyssey battery in your street car. You have a lot of electrical consumers that need more current than any other battery can supply over the long term. Mercedes batteries are huge compared to what is available from the US aftermarket. Compare amp-hour ratings, and you will find an OEM battery is the only one that supplies enough juice to keep you going.
If you have a race car, there are better power solutions than Odyssey, anyhow.

im listening
im new to the idea bt it makes sense reuduce mass helps many parameters-start , stop, turn, gas mileage, wear and tear etc, a member on this forum used an odyssy in a car identical to mine and had no issues except once when could not crank when below 25 deg, this seldom happens in my neck of the woods and if i have to hook car up to a trickle charger a few times a year , so what. im open to suggestions for a better lite wt battery and sources, thnx mike
