Odyssey or Yellow top?

Which battery to upgrade to? I have been told that my AWD issue might be low batt power and since I have HID replacement lights it's needed anyways. My batt light comes on at night. I may also run two more HID lights on a bumper. So should I use a Honda Odyssey battery or optima yellow top?

Re: Odyssey or Yellow top?

I had the exact same issue, I rectified it by putting the OPTIMA BLUE TOP, which is a marine grade battery, in place of it. I also have HID lights, and since the replacement, no regrets.

Re: Odyssey or Yellow top?

go to Yamaha Rhino Accessories - Rhino Parts - Yamaha Rhino Parts - Polaris Ranger Parts - Polaris Ranger RZR Accessories Teryx - Sidebysidesports.com and find rzr battery trays and I think they have 2 or 3 differnt kinds that "BOLT IN". I bought the RPM battery tray, which was a bolt in, and had to modify the heck out of it to fit, but eventually it did, and it hold great.

Re: Odyssey or Yellow top?

I have the battery box ordered and have been to the local O'reilys looking at batteries. I have deciced on the Yellow top optima...keep in mind the trick to the battery is reserve power and not the CCA's.

Where do these mount? I have a 2009 that has the storage box underneath the seats. I wonder where I can mount a red top (I actually have a extra one).. Any pics or ideas would be great!

Re: Odyssey or Yellow top?

Man, I run the Yellow Optima. I cut out just the batter box, took four heavy dute L bracket that I got from Lowe's and mounted them where the old battery went. All you need is a drill to drill your hole through the bracket and some bolts to go through the bracket into the metal rails and a nut and bolt to hold the two L brackets together and drop it in. I also make a batter hold that goes under the L bracket and goes up around the batter to keep it in tight. Zero prolbems.

Re: Odyssey or Yellow top?

I put the Odyssey 925 in the stock box with a slight modification to the box. I run 6 HIDs, Baja GPS, 50 watt UHF radio and intercom. with absolutely no issues. IF you are going to run the Optima, Ian at RPM fab has a box for it.

Re: Odyssey or Yellow top?

I did a bonch of reasearch on this topic and bought the Odyssey 925L.
Make sure you get the "L" for that is the post pattern for the Rzr.
Some words were there about the longivity of the Optima's which made my decision. It is a straight drop in for my gen3. Compare the specs on both before you make a decision. If you decide on an Odyssey (nothing to do with the honda toy) Call the supplier if on the net and make sure that he has one in stock for there is a demand on this model. I can also give you a installation hint if you do get one,
John

Re: Odyssey or Yellow top?

I'm confussed... the Odyssey 925L is not made for the Honda Odyssey? What is it made for? Or is that just the name of the batt? I'm lost now??? lol. I thought guys used Honda Odyssey batts in there RZRs?

Re: Odyssey or Yellow top?

Goggle the Odyssey 925L and you will get a link to the company, no relation to those littls go-carts.
Just shop around on the net, there are alot of suppliers that market these. Shipping can be an issue so some are more or less depending on where you live. Just find there phone # and call to make sure that they have one in stock,
John
