Steve,

I have an Odyssey Drycell PC 925 battery (http:// 
www.odysseybatteries.com/battery/pc925.htm). I purchased it from B &  
C, on their recommendation, as the BC100-1
      (http://www.bandc.biz/cgi-bin/ez-catalog/cat_display.cgi? 
4X358218).

Before that I had both Gill and Concorde batteries. Both of these  
batteries lasted as little as 6 months and at most 2 years.

I Purchased the BC100-1 in May of 2003. In May of 2005, I left the  
master switch on for 7 days. Talk about a dead battery. In 2006 I  
left the master on again until the battery was dead but it recharged  
again. I am still using this same battery with a high amp Sky-Tec  
starter. It still starts the plane better than the new Gill or  
Concorde batteries did. I don't believe that any other battery will  
put out as much power as the BC100-1 for as long a period of time.

It may help that I keep a battery tender on whenever the plane is in  
my hanger.

If anyone else has a great battery, history story, please jump into  
the thread.

Lorn
