Been about a couple months now since I installed the battery and so far so good. When the car isn't driven I have it on a tender but last week I decided to try something.
I was going away for about 4 days so had the car out the night before and parked it but didn't put the tender on it. Came back from my trip (driving another car not the Shelby) and checked the battery the next day (basically no tender for 5 days while still connected to the car).
Hooked up the voltmeter and got a reading of 12.77V, I then connected the tender on it and started timing to see when the tender would go from a "charge" stage to "maintain" stage. It took a grand total of 59 secs. for that to happen. I checked battery voltage again while tender was on and voltage was 13.17V.
So basically I could leave the car untendered with this battery easily for 5 days and most likely longer. That's good to know since I was hearing that it should be on the tender if you know you aren't driving the car after a couple days or longer.
If you are thinking of doing the Odyssey battery do it.................great mod.
