I have a regular flooded battery in my Odyssey and I swear its the world's worst battery - discharges so quickly if you run the power doors, etc, without the engine running. End up using my booster pack like once every month or two. Seems to handle the cold fine, but man, what a pita - considering replacing it even though it seems to work fine.

AGM was $285 from BMW. I think they are absolutely worth it if you have a ton of load or the regular battery is fading. I had to charge it occasionally in the really cold when it would chime as a bit low on the dash, but always started and lasted forever. See if Crappy Tire has an AGM for the odyssey, they are rebranded Exide, same as BMW OEM.
