Post Subject: Ha! It might have lasted FOREVER!Posted by Paul S on: 8/19/2020
The new battery got here and when I removed the charging and PS adapter harnesses from the old battery I noticed that the threaded positive post on the original battery is broken, inside the battery! I must have over tightened it after cleaning and re-greasing the contacts! That certainly explains why the old battery wouldn't take a charge or power up my DAC anymore! And here I thought it had died a natural death. Given this revelation, how long will the new battery last, now that I know to be more careful? Will this site still be up so I can report on it here? Needless to say, my endorsement for this battery just got stronger! By the way, the Odyssey charger I got with the original battery still works fine, too. And as most of you (no doubt) realized at the time, I mis-typed that it's a 6V charger, but it's a 12V, 6A (smart), "companion" charger, of course.
