I had one in my first 1st gen. Lasted forever and worked great in the cold.
l’ve had two, they are GREAT, REALLY GREAT !. Built to last, and like you say, work great in the cold.
They just seem to keep going, and going, and going.
A little expensive, but you get what you pay for, sometimes, not always.
in my experience, this is one tough battery. Not sure who makes it for CAT, nor to what plate spec’s, but it’s a HARDY BATTERY.
Cost is the only factor.
Well, the 2 Odyssey batteries came yesterday and I just installed them. The battery seems to crank over just as fast as the die hard, 1150 cca one that it is replacing. I discovered that the battery isolator was bad, it was easy, I installed the truck one first and when I went to do the 2nd one, I accidentally grounded the positive cable from the isolator and it sparked. It may explain why both batteries tended to go at the same time...Mark
That's the battery I use, 7237. Just replaced it last weekend with another. Lasted 7 years and might have lasted a little longer if the truck got driven more.
I bought a Sears Diehard AGP which was made by Odyssey, it lasted 1 month past the warranty, no pro rate at all. I read through the comments on Amazon and this 1 seems to have some longevity...Mark
Same here except it was one battery. Had to buy two so I went with lead acid Duralast's from O'Reilly. Mine were Platinums.
I replaced my original Mopar's(mistake) which are still alive in a 12v.
