I was just reading through the Aug 2002 edition of Four Wheeler and came across this article. "A dry cell battery designed for Deep discharge, and high pulse rate." (quoted from article) From what I read it sounds bad ass. Here's a web addy for the manufaturer.

Welcome to the factory site of ODYSSEY® Drycell™ Batteries. This site does not offer product for direct purchase, but is provided by the manufacturer to inform the designer, distributor, dealer as well as the user in properly selecting an ODYSSEY battery to meet or exceed their need.
The ODYSSEY® battery combines in one box the characteristics of two separate batteries. It can deep cycle as well as provide enormous cranking power — it is almost as if a champion long distance runner and a world class sprinter are one and the same person.
These batteries are capable of providing engine cranking pulses in excess of 1700A for 5 seconds as well as 400 charge/discharge cycles to 100% depth of discharge (DOD). A typical starting. lighting and ignition (SLI) battery can do one or the other, but not both. It is either a sprinter or a long distance runner; ODYSSEY® batteries will do both — provide short duration high amperage pulse or low rate long duration drains.
Hmmm I'm glad I haven't purchased a "good" battery yet, this just might be the ticket!!:smokin:
PS: is this better josh?!?!?!:flipoff2:
