1. Odyssey (500 full discharges)
2. Optima (350 or so full)
3. Exide equivalent of the Optima. (discharges )

If it isn't urgent save your pennies for one of these.

Odyssey is "next generation technology" compared with Optima's, can take a fast recharge at very high amps to recharge within 1 hour. HUGE short circuit current (> 2000 amps). CCA doesn't give the whole picture.

Optima's about 2/3 the price of equivalent Odyssey.

I went with the exide extreme for second battery, adn the overlander N70 for main battery
