markssupra Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 I have had 2 Oddessy AGM batteries die on me, both out of warranty. I used to keep them both on permanant trickle charge, but now only charge the third new battery once per week for 24 hours using the ctek on a timer. Holding charge just fine, I think the ctek gradually killed the other two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
