Optima battery??..
Try it. I'll watch from a distance. Always like a good fireworks show.. :D
Resting battery voltage will rarely be 13+ volts unless it's a flooded battery that is warm. The voltage potential of various metals has a very specific limit. Lead-acid batteries produce 2.05 volts per cell, or 12.3v resting voltage for 6 cells in series.
I'm glad you started this thread though, next time I need a good battery I'll be buying an Odyssey - hope they make compatible batteries for my motorcycles too.
