I disconnected the Odyssey battery for a day or so, hooked it back up under the motorcycle setting to start and ITS ALIVE.

Green light. Showing 13v. Awesome.

The Motorcycle icon indicates that you have selected the lower charging rate for smaller batteries. In this case 0.8 amp with a final charge voltage of 14.4V before going into "float" mode.

The Car icon indicates a 3.3 amp charge rate with a final voltage of 14.4V before going into "float" mode.

The above final voltages are for the usual flooded lead acid batteries and GEL cells (actually a bit high for GEL cells).

You should be selecting the "snowflake" icon for your Odyssey which provides a 3.3 amp charge rate with a final voltage of 14.7V before going into "float" mode.

If it is in charge mode (you can't tell), then it hasn't finished charging. If it is in "float" mode, that is low. Disconnect the battery, hook up a headlight to it, drain it to 10.5V and then recharge it using the "snowflake" icon setting. Cycle the battery a few times.

Thanks for posting this.

One of my local Canadian Tire's has a wack load of them for 89.99. I showed them the Princess Auto webpage on my phone and they matched it. Just gotta smile, be friendly to the customer service girl and it should work! My eliminator charger now on my bike...going to use my CTEK on the 911.

No, THANK YOU!

Worked at two Parts Source stores as one is near my work and the other near my house. Also tried at Canadian Tire as I needed to get the fuel stablizer on sale this week anyway but the clerk said: "We don't match Princess Auto because they are a warehouse store like Costco", unlike Parts Source which has a clearly stated price-match policy on their website, CT does not have similar price match policy statement.

What I realized afterwards is that neither Parts Source stores applied the 10% discount for me, but I'm OK since Parts Source policy states the competitor must be within 20km radius, and the nearest Princess Auto is further than 20km so I thought I'd better not push my luck, although if they've gone as far as authorizing the price match, they will most likely honor the 10% discount as well if I had asked.....

It's all good!
