I wanted to post a quick note, regarding the latest line of Ultima batteries. All I can say is WOW!!! I had to replace my battery this weekend, and purchased one of the Hawker Odyssey's for my Sports. I was a little concerned about the small size, and low amp/hr reserve, but it packs plenty of pulse cranking amps for 5 second bursts. Its really just for starting cars, but what I was most impressed with was the recharging speed. Holy COW! After cranking my engine on a fairly cold day, I let the car idle and get up to temperature, turned off the car, started it again, let it idle for 5 minutes, turned off the car for the 2nd time, checked the battery with my voltmeter, and it was back up to 13.15 volts! Man...it doesn't get much better than that at a measly 13 pounds. I've got a pretty serious alternator, for one thing(PowerMaster 80 amp idle, 140amp highway), but it charged MUCH...MUCH...faster than my old battery. This has to be one of the most impressive batteries I've come across. Also, a big "THANK YOU" to Jack (USCANAM) for the info on this battery.
Cheers!
