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.

Can you guys recommend a good battery? I think I have a Concorde in at the
moment, but wouldn't mind going with the best option available (I suppose like
the Optimas for autos). Thanks again.
