How much charging are you doing at the track, after every round, every other round, or once per day??

Thanks

I have hot lapped rounds without charging, but generally set it on 20 amps until voltage reaches mid 13 volts and then switch to 2 amps between rounds. Don't let the voltage go above 14 volts. Congrats on your choice, you'll like it....!!!!!!

Odessey batteries IMHO are the 1 of the best on the market... they hold a charge longer the a regular battery. light weight. huge cranking power.. I have 1 in my race car.. My buddy put 1 in his sandbuggy...and in his airplane...

I have one of the Odyssey PC-1200 in the car and one in the trailer for the winch. If the one in the car takes a dump I can just switch out batteries without a lot of trouble. I charge both during the week, and they have lasted three years so far.
