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.

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.
