Hettric Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I'm looking for a recommendation of a battery minder for the Odyssey 680 battery, there is a lot of confusion on what's required for this type. I bought a charger/trickle charger that's for this type only to find out the charger fan runs continuously when plugged in, hardly what I want. As a side note, before I changed to this battery in 2015 the original (at this point) 15 year old Sears tractor battery sat in previous years uncharged all winter (warm storage) no problem. The new Odyssey sat over 2015 winter and was totally dead in the spring, only partially revivable, so I am now on my second and as I didn't get the car out this year but a few times have had to charge it also. Thanks for the replys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowss7 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 I have three of these that I've been using, one for 15 years on my yellow car and the other two on my other cars. They work very well in keeping the batteries topped up. Tom http://www.batteryminders.com/12-volt-maintenance-charger-desfulator-1500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sevenup Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) I use the battery tender .75 amp on my stalker and modified british hotrods...they have perfromed flawlessly. Same thing with the Optima battery...once they start to go, there is no bringing them back...then you get to go spend $200 plus on a new one and an additionall amount for the anchor bracket which seems to change quite often..
