    My order still shows delivery tomorrow, but also has not shipped, so that won't be possible. I suspect I will get a similar email tomorrow evening.

    New interstate batteries at Costco

    Well that sure is a surprise. I bought an H6 Group 48 AGM Interstate at Costco just short of three years ago and it was made in the USA. About 8 months later and until recently they were "made in Germany"....and now China. I guess if I need another I will go with AC Delco AGM, which for the...

    CTEK + Odyssey = New Charger

    One thing going for them, is that Odyssey is the only brand I see in Consumer Reports testing that is consistently at the top. Pretty much all other brands are mixed. They might excel in one size, then middling or even at the bottom in another size. My BMW also takes two batteries, an H8 and...

    CTEK + Odyssey = New Charger

    Too bad they don't publish the algorithm used in their chargers. Or IP rating. Also if the lowest amp version (5amp) has an SAE plug (or not) to use with ring mounts for long term maintanence charging. Clamps are required for higher amp charging, but SAE plugs increase connection options.

    Battery Voltage.

    I bought a couple Battery Minders a couple years ago and noticed the same issue with the lower float voltage when on AGM setting, or with my dedicated AGM Battery Minder. I called them and they said they did this due to customers experiencing overcharging and damaged batteries. What is...
