to be honest i dont know how much orbital changed but optimas were more durable and seemingly performed better from my recollection

Optima used to be the only choice, but the failure rate of Optimas has turned me off. I have just heard/seen more fail than not and never have I used the Exide, so Oddyssy is what I recommend.

Give Stephen a call @ West Coast Battery and he can help you out.

the exide orbital 34xcd looks to have a better rateing then the pc925t odyssey

Could very well be, I just don't know. I have never used Exide drycells

Excide XCD is a great battery same thing as Yellow top to me if not a hair better. I've used two for over 6 months and still going strong no complaints here plus they are cheaper.

yeahh this exide looks pretty badass and its like 60$ cheaper then the yellow top.. i jus hope it helps me out at least a little.. my alt is only 90amps and im runnin id say 750w @ 4ohm from my system.. right now shits dimmin but i still plan on doin the big 3 but its deff too cold to be doin tha right now..

I have an Exide Orbital Extreme. I listen to my system regularly without the engine on...for up to an hour sometimes. I live in Minnesota where dead batteries are as common as snow drifts in the dead of winter. I have a remote start on my car and ever since I replaced my shitty stock battery, I have never had a problem with the Exide, nor have I not been able to remote start my car - even in when it's well below zero!!! So save yourself a few bucks and buy it.

BTW, Hawker makes Odyssey which are nice too.
