I'm pretty pleased with my Painless set-up. No delicate electronics to get damaged by heat, dust, vibration...
Disagree, Ash. Having a separate back up has saved my butt a couple times miles from anywhere.I just miss the dual alternator set-up I had on the 2F. Now that was real redundancy.
That's because you had a crappy battery...
What got me thinking about dual batteries is my Odyssey seems to be dying.

Is it due to age or is there something else going on? I'd test the system and the batt just to make sure.
I had the battery tested - the results were not good.
It is 5 years old and it had a hard life here in Salida. The truck would sit for so long the battery would go dead, then facing zero and sub zero nights.

The 91-92 battery was mounted on the right hand side and that is what everyone uses for dual batteries in the 93-97 models. Dan knows exactly what to order. It requires about 5 min with a coping saw to do some trimming around the radiator. As you know, the washer bottle has to be relocated with the kit from Slee.
The above picture is a guy that used the new Sears DH Platinum which is a re-badged Odyssey. There have been a few guys say the group 31 will fit. Others said they couldn't get it to fit so I dunno what's up with that.

Speaking of peace of electrical system mind: How long is an 80 alternator good for? Can the brushes be replaced? Or should I get a new one? I'm going on 160k miles.
