@MTF & @Gilligan Thanks for the info. A great price.
I am wondering how long the original battery lasts. Mine is 1 1/2 years old and seems to start fine. However I installed a BlackVue dual cam with a PowerMagic Pro. The BlackVue should be recording up to 48 hours, but the PowerMagic shuts down the cameras at 11.8 volts in less than 24 hours, so I believe the battery is starting to die.
I just ordered the Odyssey for the $229 price and will replace the OEM battery when it arrives. I have plans for the old battery with a solar setup.

I also have the blackvue. Drained my battery in two days. I don't have the powermagic pro but had a new battery. I installed a dual AGM gel battery, no more problems after 3 days. Those cameras drain the battery fairly quick.
I started to test mine after getting my blackvue, I think the voltage is a tad off on the power packs but even with the blackvue disconnected my battery was dropping to around 12v overnight and around 11.7 or 11.8 after a full day. I don't think I have a power leak because it never dropped below 11.7 even after sitting at that number for a day or two. I also noticed the window went from green to red on the battery, but that may only be linked to the voltage i'm not sure.
I have a less than 5minute drive to work certain days, and I like to use my radio while messing with the truck in the garage so if mine did go bad i'm sure thats the cause. I had it for a touch over 2years.

@Skyfrog My battery is almost 4 years old it tests out fine but it defiantly is not as powerful. From what I hear in the Raptor the stk battery can last but lots of FRF members have had them fail with very low miles so I thought it was time to replace.
The Odyssey in our old TR6 makes the starter just about fly off the engine and the entire (crapy) british electrical system works better.
My battery is on the way even though they said it was on B/O got a shipping notice today!! 4Wheel Parts for $229.00!! Best price I have seen yet.

When I asked to cancel my order with Odyssey to order it from 4Wheelparts.
I warned them about a huge numbers of orders from the 17,000 members on this forum, now that 950 CCA's are hard to get in the 65 group size.
I think someone should get 4Wheelparts on board to this forum.
Group Buy!!!..................

4Wheel parts came though. Ordered on 17th B/O until the 30th but it showed up on the 21st.
I tested it out of the box by it comes fully or almost fully charged. It is rated at 950 CCA.
Out of box. 12.85v and 1341 CCA
After a night on the Ctek charger. 13.37v and 1400 CCA.
This is an impressive battery. After install the starter acts like it is going jump off the engine! The results are as they were when I installed a similar Odyssey in our old TR-6.
My 3 1/2 year old stk battery was in good working order and tested out good but the condition window is red. Rated at 750 CCA.
Stk tested at 12.94v and 715CCA
