    Yes. It’s an Odyssey PM2150.

    Neither one of those even comes close to the Odyssey/PM1. Only the Northstar/X2 compares to the Odyssey, and, with some of the charging issues noted with the Northstar, I would choose the Odyssey.

    My PM1 lasted 9 years on my boat and when I repowered to a 4 stroke I went with an X2. The PM1 is now in my camper and going strong for 2 plus years so far. Both are great batteries.

    You found the right one. I probably had the PM-1 on my mind as I typed.

    I replaced an older 100 deep cycle lithium with a new Powerhouse cranking lithium with the emergency charge feature from K&K Kustomz. I had it out yesterday for the first time and was really impressed. Following it throughout the day with the bluetooth app made it easy to see what goes on when on the water. After a full day using 2 12" graphs, 1 9" stern graph, a 3D and a AT 2 transducer, and 2 power poles plus cranking and accessories. I still had 68% of a full charge. I did not run the livewells but will do that next time. It then recharged in less than 90 minutes. Sweet!

    The PC 2150 appears to be out of stock nationally. They are carried by Auto Zone but my local Auto Zone said their vendor can't even get them....any suggestions?

    Also, it looks like Odyssey has Legacy Northstar batteries. Does Odyssey make the Northstar X2's?
