AGM or Lead Acid Battery

[securityguy]

It's not the size of the battery that matters, it's all about how long it stays up. Its all about preference.

They have pills for that.....

Hey guys just a heads up, I just picked up the Interstate H8 Battery from Costco today and the price tag said $185, but it rang up as $135! The employee said he didn’t think they were on sale, but that’s what the computer scanned. So maybe it’s a Black Friday/cyber Monday deal? With tax and after the core charge it’s only $143! Seemed like a great deal to me. The guy in front of me in line got the same battery but H7 and it was actually $10 more expensive than what I paid!

I got an Odyssey H8 AGM battery for my truck. There is a small plastic clip piece that needs to be removed for the H8 to fit.

Does anyone have a part number for the Odyssey or the X2 (H8 size)?

And I don't see H8, but will 49 fit?

I sent that because I do not believe there is an H8 X2 available...only the one I sent above. I would have zero issues buying an H7 X2 battery.

Thanks man, appreciate it

Genuine question: what makes the H7 X2 battery worth more than double the cost of the Interstate H8?

To some, nothing. To me, it is the most highly rated and most reliable battery on the market. EnerSys/Northstar makes Odyssey and the X2. The same identical batteries coming out of the same factory. I had a long conversation about a year a go with a top EnerSys Northstar Engineer when I was researching batteries. A $150 Interstate (on-sale) H8 may have a 3-year warranty and I would expect it to last about 2.5 - 3 years and then have to replace it. I would expect, and anticipate, I'll get at least 4, maybe 5-6+ out of the Northstar which has a 4 year warranty. Most all batteries that you find in the BIG DIESEL RIGS are Northstar, as well as the back-up batteries used in most all data centers across the US that service millions of computer servers at AWS, FB, Google, and several other big dogs. Their quality and reliability is second to none. Some will say I can buy two Interstate's for 1 X2. True...but with an X2, you won't have to worry about about anther dead battery for 2X the life of the Interstate. Not looking to debate anyone here, just answering your genuine question with a genuine answer. You can buy quality and longevity first go around or settle for a mediocre battery that you know you'll, most likely, be replacing within its warranty period.

Gotcha! Thanks for the response! I’ll see how this interstate battery lasts and if it does well - great! If not, I’ll definitely consider an x2 next time around

I got an h8 interstate this year to replace the factory battery

FYI, here is part of a group size chart from Interstate for their Mega-Tron Plus batteries. It shows the DIN Group H8 is a BCI Group 49 battery. Physically the H8 is 1 9/16" longer than a H7.

Sorry, not sure I ever got the answer... Is this the right h8 Odyssey?

Looks like. H8 and 49 are pretty much interchangeable.
