I've got the odyssey. It is fine if I drive the car but if I let it sit for 3-4 days it will be dead. It does charge fine though (knock on wood).

While I posted my feeling on the 11.5lb battery for DD use above, for track/weekend use it is awesome, and I do plan on using for track days. Here is a pic mounted in the stock location with the nice Braille tie down...

How difficult was the installation? Doesn't seem that hard. Did you order the Braille tie down as well or did it come with it? Think the 11 lbs one will be ok with a small audio/video system. I don't listen to it while the car is off.

Its a simple battery install, less than 15 minutes. Id opt for the 15lb battery!

Whats the price (battery & mounting brackets) and do you carry the charger as well?
