I'm using the Odyssey 925MJ and there is no maintenance with this battery. I've let my Z set for over a week and it started fine. I usually put a battery tender on it if it's going to set much longer, but I've never really left it untended long enough to see exactly how long the battery will last. I think probably as long as any other battery.

I have been running the little one (680) for about 4 months now. I keep the car on a tender in the garage because it usually goes 7+ days between drives. The car starts and runs fine. I cannot say how well it is going to be long term, yet.
Good luck!

I don't have a Odyssey but I am running the light weight Braille Battery - I keep it on a 1.5 AMP Battery tender just like our standard/other battery's!

Here is a write-up I did:

I love it and it is awesome and weighing in at ONLY 17 lbs


Thanks,Matt

Thanks for all of the replies! I have the 26lb battery. It went dead once on me from sitting about 2 weeks (it is out of the car). It may have had a weak charge to begin with, who knows. I just got an Odyssey battery charger and hooked it up yesterday. The battery still had a decent charge and the charger took 5 minutes or less to put a full charge on it. The Odyssey charger is really good!
