I was playing my system with the engine off. I guess I lost track of time and it must have been playing for a good 45 min at pretty high volume. Anyway, the battery had barely enough juice to start the car. I took it for a 30 min drive and it seemed all good after that. Now I notice if I let the car sit for more than 48 hours the battery will go almost dead again.

I've been looking at Odyssey, Optima and Kinetik. The Odyssey looks pretty good but I notice the CCA and CA specs on the Odyssey PC1200 are much lower than the Optima Red Top. I don't know too much about Kinetik but it was suggested as a very popular battery among competitors.

Anyone have experience using Odyssey or Kinetik batteries?

...or an Exide Orbital.

Kinetik is really meant as an aux audio-specific battery. I know the guy that used to be the Kinetik rep and I personally don't think there's any magic in them.

No reverse terminal config for yellow top. I'll check out Exide Orbital.

It says on their website that it is meant to compliment the starting battery.
