hyundai Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 i have a j160 2200 I have used in the past odyssey batteries 525 - 625 cca. The last odyssey was on the verg of quitting I rang around and heard about the Full River battries I was a bit sceptical. They are quite a bit cheaper I bit the bullet and bought one a 525 CCA. I have room on the top engine side of the firewall on the top so the battery sits vertical this battry is a little bigger so I didn't mind shifting it. The first time I started I was shocked it spun it over so fast none of the other battries where As good so if I get 2-3 years I will be happy. One thing I have added is a solar panel I would recommend any one To give these battries a go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetjr Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Sounds good BUT, there is a train of thought that high powered starting is behind flywheel bolt breakages Keep a good eye on them and replacement schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted December 25, 2016 Share Posted December 25, 2016 Hi I have been using a Full River battery for over 4 years in my Jab since the Odyssey failed. Full River still performing flawlessly. John 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetjr Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 I had a couple of big full river AGM batteries and they were pretty good, certainly good value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yenn Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Is there any advantage to using a solar panel? I stopped using a panel years ago and got better life from my Odyssey. Haven't used it with the Fullriver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Koreelah Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Sounds good BUT, there is a train of thought that high powered starting is behind flywheel bolt breakages... ...then my tiny 120CCA battery might be the best match- it could only just turn the engine over fast enough.

With my jab if the batt does not turn it quick enough and cold mornings is the worst times. But I should say when it starts it will start all day. I rebuilt my engine and the flywheel bolts where tight with locktight. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEM Posted December 27, 2016 Share Posted December 27, 2016 That is good to hear as I said cheaper battry less life do you use a solar panel Cheers Hi I do not use a solar panel. I did fit an anderson plug to the aircraft to allow an external battery start in case of low battery. Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
