Pfff...come up here to the Northeast. Although it's been very mild this year.I ran the Odyssey batteries in my motorcycle and ATV when I was still lving in TX. I never had a problem with them in the cold, but then again it never really got below 30 much where I lived. I think you Georgia guys get colder winters.
My Odyssey has been in for 2 years now. No problems.
If I lived in the northern areas where it gets really cold, I'd pull the battery for the winter and just use it during the warmer months or on race day.

i used i 1.25 amp battery maintainer (battery tender) is the brand. the battery still would give me problems starting in the summer. it would start but would crank forever. somtines it would not start. the charger would tell me the battery was charged, but once i unhooked and tried to start it was a different story.
maybe cause you live in southern cal. you have better luck. i could have just unhooked it and brought it in al winter but i dont like not starting the car at all.
not to mention the alarm was a draw on it, not much but at least i dont have to worry about that anymore.
the stocker can sit in the garage over the winter no charger and start up pretty good.
I may be able to get by with an Odyssey then. It doesn't get further below 25-ish in the winters. And if it dies, I'll swap it for the stocker just for the cold.
Where's the best place to get one of these? Are there any other brands of lightweight batteries?
it never got that cold here so i thought id be fine too.
im pretty sure i had mine installed fine. i think i may have gotten a bum battery. as soon as i went back to stock the car was fine.
i did order it from a company on ebay because they had them for like $70.
maybe that was the problem. also i think if my car was a daily driver, it would have been different. the battery could not go being started only once a week.
actually i did a ton of research when i got the battery, when it came time for winter, and what kind of charger to get for it. i emailed oddessy about the charger and went with their recommendations. spent more money on that specific charger. i was pretty upset it didnt work out.
i do shows, and it looked neat in there...somthing a little different.
it just didnt work out.
