    Straight from the Odyssey Warranty document:

    "The warranty does not cover a Battery reaching its normal end of life which may occur prior to the warranty periods stated above. Depending on the
    application, a Battery can reach its normal end of life before the end of the Applicable Warranty Period. A Battery can deliver only a fixed number of
    usable amp-hours over its lifetime and is considered to have reached its normal end of life if the application uses up all of these amp-hours, regardless
    of the time the Battery has been in service. Therefore, Manufacturer reserves the right to deny a warranty claim if it determines the Battery to be at
    its normal end of life, even if the claim is filed within the Applicable Warranty Period."
     
    This is what they pulled after three emails and four phone calls to Odyssey's claims department. Yes, it did take that long to receive a response. So basically the above verbiage is a catch-all for any battery they decide they don't want to replace. Infuriating. So just want to make sure you all don't make my mistake and neglect the "fine print". 
     
    With regards to the AGL charge rates, that's good advice. I only would like to point out that my Optimas over many years (also AGM) have always lasted. Kept hearing about a decline in quality and that is why I went to Odyssey. Big mistake!!

    Hi All,

    Just so I can educate others on the pitfalls of spending a fortune on "a great battery"...and wish I had looked closer at the warranty. Paid over $300 a little over a year ago for an Odyssey Battery for my Jeep as I often spend time in the boondocks and wanted something reliable. Went from an Optima red top that lasted 8 years (impressive) but migrated to Odyssey because I'd heard about premature failure of Optima Batteries recently. Well...I got a little over a year out of this Odyssey and tried to have it replaced under their warranty program. They denied the coverage due to an interesting clause in the warranty, namely section A. "End of Life...even when prior to warranty expiration". So now I'm stuck with an overpriced box of junk. Beware folks...and look elsewhere for your hunting rigs!!

    Listened to Maha Rushi since I was in grade school. I don't know of anyone else who had such a unique and though-provoking perspective along with the ability to clearly explain the perils of leftism. He's responsible for turning so many to our side. A big loss.
