I've had 2 odyssey batteries --- the first one had an internal fault and went "open" and left me at the side of the road.
the 2nd was the replacement for it.
It shorted out internally and would have burned my bike and garage and house down, had I not heard the battery "boiling".
I used bolt cutters to cut the cables and threw the thing out in the driveway...this was on my fxr so an easy 1 bolt retainer under the seat
they replaced that one under warranty and I sold it on craigslist- I think one lasted 8 months and the other 7 months
no more expensive mystery batteries for me- I use AGM.
Deka is the battery of choice for many riders these days
