Lifeline alternative: Odyssey PC1800-FT

[cmillsap]

So David, 'splain me in laymen's terms the advantages of these Odyssey batteries. It appears there is no weight advantage. Seems to me that there isn't enough improved performance characteristics compared to a Lifeline to merit a complete reorganization of the battery compartment. The difference in price is about $150 for the lot. Then you have to redo the cables and probably have to buy some new ones for the proper length and fitment.

You know you can buy a good Decca battery (maybe not quite as good as a Lifeline but less expensive too) that fits easily where the Lifelines were.
We haven't even considered the time and labor involved in making the switch.

I've looked at my battery compartment and the difficulty in getting those odd sized batteries to fit and I just think that would be more trouble than worthwhile.
