If you received a DHL tracking number, your battery will be collected today.

If you received an 'other' tracking number ignore it (just been told that our courier isn't working Xmas period). I have therefore scheduled it for DHL to collect today instead.

Carl, yours will go out with out our usual courier on Jan 2nd (due to weight/value).

Hope everyone has a fab Christmas.

Had a problem initially when my battery as it turned up damaged by the couriers. It is true that you often don't find out how good the supplier of parts etc are until something goes wrong. There are a number of suppliers on scoobynet that are first rate in all departments and in my opinion Aztec have proven their credentials, to me anyway. In this case an email to Bob at Aztec and he organised a replacement battery no ifs or buts. So please accept my thanks for showing what quality service is all about so if any one is wondering about the level of service at Aztec then in my experience its first class.

Guys, you can get them for £91 delivered here: Active Robots - ODYSSEY Dry Cell Batteries - UK Sales

No need for GB.

I have no experience of them, but seem ok.

Cool

Fitted mine yesterday and these are so good..!

Lol, the engine turns over faster than with the OEM battery..!

On my newage the only place to mount it is in the original position (unlike the classic where you can fit them on the n/s chassis leg). So you're unable to move weight further back..

However, the 7kg weight saving off the front is still well worth it..! Looks lost in the oem position..

My only concern is that most of our journeys are >10miles, so we'll see how it holds up to this abuse..

Mines been on the car for nearly 6mths and hasn't missed a beat, even with lots of <5mile journeys..!

Car a daily driver, so it's never standing for more than a day or two without being used.

Can't fault it one bit..

If anyone is still looking for a tidy mounting solution for the Odyssey i've stuck one of the two trays i had cut on eBay. The other one is still holding my battery in place.
