For a trickle charrge on teh Odysseys, taken from the odyssey website there silkey..
Less than 15 V anything over 15v will slowly fry the battery (ran into this problem with my last one), So keep an eye on what voltage its charging at, also just like everyone esle said lowest amps possible. If you look for the oweners manual for the odyssey battery it goes into alot of detail about charging to maximize the longevity. I actually emailed odyssey to ask them some questions and they basically told me that the battery is only rated for 3-5 years for it's intended application and if not used that way it would be greatly reduced. Like over half is what the lady told me lol. So anyways just some 2 cents from me.

Don't be a puss... Its no big deal... Seriously... Just hook it up on low amperage and you will be fine. I charge car batteries all the time.

ive been by their old location next to the KFC and always drooled over the cars out in front. esp the owners R33 gtr. that car is sexy

Lol. Oh..... well, im makin 566hp/420tq.

And most of these funny noises arent like engine noises and stuff. I think they are random bolts dropped here and there in the trunk and stuff like that. I just need some decent weather to be able to clean her out, give her a tune up and call her good..... I really dont think that theres any serious issues left with her other than needing a tune.

ALTHOUGH, i will let you guys in on a little secret....... i believe i am actually about 90% on deciding to get rid of my 6262 and put a RED or GREEN in her and get her tuned up for AutoX......
