I was on a run down to Valkaria a few weeks ago, went to start with the group to go home and the entire main bus went offline as soon as a blade turned over. No problem, went to the second buss, started, flew home. Traced one of the four Odyssey batteries (2 main buss, 2 secondary buss) had just completely failed. I was a little upset until I checked the date code of 2008. I got another from Amazon for $116 and everything is good to go.
I can't say enough about the dual buss design in my Legacy. I've saved myself at least three times from having to be stuck somewhere:
1) Main alternator failure (diodes)
2) Standby alternator failure (did not require the second buss to operate)
3) main battery failure twice.
The Odyssey batteries are giving good service in the 4-6 year range but when they fail, they fail fully and without notice.
