Charging Odyssey battery?

[JimTMich]

I won't argue with you, BUT if we don't let our deep cycle batteries completely run down, they will only last a couple of months. If we let them fully run down, and charge at 10 amps for 1 hour, they last for years with no reduction of charge life.

This is base on my experience, and for $200 a pop for the batteries we use, I will go with what we have found works.

Are you talking about NiCads for AGM. Nicads must be discharged between charges. From what I have read abou AGM's that's not the case.

Back to the topic at hand, Reading the battery tender plus spec and the oddesy battery spec, they seem to comply with each other. (charging voltages, storage voltages, 3 level charging software, AGM compatable software....) I'm going to keep using the Battery Tender Plus on my ski with the TL and the Oddesy unless someone points out otherwise.

Yes.
I just ordered up a Battery Tender Plus, for my new KB35XC batt. I guess I'll have to give it about a year of Matt_E abuse before I can give feedback.
