According to Odyssey, 31M-PC2150 is not suitable for our application

everyone still happy with their deep cycle batteries on stock charging system?

anyone have a problem with starting their vehicle with the battery at 11.8V?


i realized that i have a way to periodically maintenance charge (i can just do it at the office) so i'm leaning towards this option again.

Been running my Diehard Platinum 31M since 2012 with an ARB fridge on it the entire time.

Only problem I've had is a cracked fender from the extra weight of the battery.

thanks for the input

where did your fender crack? what mount/tray are you using?

Inside the left wheel well, just behind the battery. The same crack has happened to lots of people, but not too many have made the connection on the cause. Just using the stock tray and tie down. I plan to make a new tie down that acts as a strut from the top of the battery to the radiator support and further back on the driver's wheel well or firewall. It is the heavy battery's forward/back rocking motion which causes the crack.

Been over 2 years now with my Odyssey and no problems whatsoever. I charge it once a month with a CTEK 7002 charger.

I've heard this before and couldn't help but wonder if the stock size Odyssey/Northstar wouldn't be sufficient. Just wondering.
