Race batteries - what make?

[Elderly]

After many years my 'Racetech' branded battery needs replacing
and they are no longer made.

Does anybody have any experience on whether Varley Red Top,
or Odyssey Extreme have any advantages/disadvantages over each other?

Mods. if this enquiry is in the wrong place ...............

The price of lithium batteries has come down a lot recently - have you considered them ?

The racing gel batteries are all much of a muchness.

Thanks for the ideas;
I did consider Lithium but the equivalent dimensioned 25AH I needed was
hugely expensive.
And I'm afraid that Tanya don't have the size I need .

I have one of the Odyssey batteries. In an BMW 3 series. Very reasonably priced and throws the straight 6 round no problem at all. Only time you notice the low Ah battery is when a high load device comes on (eg cooling fan) and the revs drop for a moment. Driven in the rain with heater, wipers and lights on no probs though. I suppose 6kg is weighty as far as race batteries go, but can't complain for under £100.

Mine's an Odyssey/Powervamp too - got a discount at Autosport last year - then had to carry it back to the carpark!

No, but it is just a rebranded golf cart battery, I used another type of golf cart jobbie yrs ago that was recommended in caterham use, I'll try & dig out what it was.

I think it was a pvr 22 & if you look on the powervamp site I think it plus the larger 33 are the same batteries as the rmd, just a bit cheaper.

Anyone tried Antigravity batteries, specifically the XPS V10?
