The other one (duralast one) has a better cca and will perform better in the winter months.
Odyssey batteries have served me well. AGM. My Benz has the battery under the passenger seat so I it’s irritating to change. My last Odyssey lasted 9 years and didn’t fail: I just decided to change it as a matter of maintenance.
I'm on my second Odyssey Extreme (first one lasted from 2017-2022) and they are pretty good. I got the 34R-PC1500T. I give it a charge once every month or two with the Odyssey charger.
Odessey batteries . 5 years in AZ heat and still cranks . IMO it’s the only one I get my monies worth.
This is really straightforward to do. I replaced mine last September and was concerned about coding or needing to go to the dealer. My 2017 required none of that. Just take the old battery out and put a new one in. You'll have dash lights on afterwards, but all you need to do is turn the wheel all the way to one side and then the other.
I went with Odyssey Extreme gel cell and its worth the price!
I replaced mine in my driveway with a same size AutoZone Duralast Gold. With a coupon, I was out the door for less than $200. The car wintered outdoors at a Vermont ski resort and always started.
If you actually worked at AutoZone and knew anything you know the duralast golds are decent.
I've gone through two VW batteries in 32K miles under three years. They suck. Just replaced it with a Duralast Gold from Autozone which has a 3 year full replacement warranty and 5 year prorated.
I used Odysseys PC-680 on other cars, particularly on Evos. They weight about 15lbs and they free up spaces dramatically but the reliability is awful. I went through 3 of them once. They will start the car with a little bit of difficulty but don't try to start the car with the A/C , the radio etc because they can't.
