Bought original battery from BMW, lasted 2.5 years, worked weak.

Odyssey has lasted 3 years now, works like a charm, always STRONG no matter what.
I just don't see it giving off any time soon.
Works as good as did on its very first day.

You are very lucky with PC680!!

I received a new pc680 from aerostich; it was dead on arrival, not hold charge. I attempted to charge it, no response to quick or trickle charge.
Manual claimed pre-charged/ready to use.
I am so glad that I checked on it prior to install into my bike.
Contacted Aerostich, ship it back.

Ran into shipping problem with military apo post office, no battery will be allowed to ship. Obviously, no one was bother to check when it was shipped to me. The post office (military) considered it as hazardous material.

I am waiting for a refund without returning it to Aerostich. Will SEE.

I'm coming up on year 4 on my PC680. I'll replace it this spring - don't want to be stranded like my buddy Kurt was in the Bonneville Salt Flats...

Don't know if anyone is the least bit interested in this .

The two batteries that I've used, have lasted about the same length of time as an Odyssey PC 680 .

Admittedly this is 26-30 months in this incessant desert heat, but it's about half the cost of an Odyssey .

Just thought I'd let other members know about this .
