AHHHH . . . I am an IDIOT

[Tinkerer]

I take it that is Helen Keller. Funny, my last name is also Keller. You know, it really didn't arc that bad when I did it. Oh well, it will probably let go on the way to the beach next week with 2 screaming kids in the back seat and a pissed-off wife riding shotgun!

I empathize about the company in the vehicle driving back from the beach - just went through this hell myself. Never Again. (Someone suggested slipping a Xanax into the wife's food/drink right when starting the trip - he swore it made the trip much better.)

10-4 on the Zanax. Well, I made it to the beach and back without issue. Alternator seems to be chargeing slightly higher than usual, but it could be my imiagination. I'm due for a battery any time now. I might just go ahead and get a new one to be safe. I've read all of the battery threads, but, honestly, did not undersatnd many of them. Something about Group blah, blah had the post reversed. Any updates on that front?

Thanks for the input. H.

OK. I had the alternator and battery checked today. Everything tested A-OK. That speaks pretty damn well for this rig that I didn't burn something.

Sounds like the Odessey is one of the upgraded batteries that drops in pretty easily. Needs a spacer either on the top or bottom but otherwise sounds like us non battery experts could handle it. The thread below has the model # for the fit.

Also, glad to hear everything tested out OK.
