Doing a little research, and the Canadian Tire batteries I bought (Motomaster eliminator) are built by exide. 850 CCA's, 1065 CA's, 160 minutes reserve.
One batt is not going to be enough, it'll be just enough to start in a good place and leave you stranded in a bad one.
For those that swear by the Odyssey, but don't want to pay the price, check out the Sears Die Hard, and find one spec'd how you like, then compare the prices. Platinum Group 31's from Die Hard are the same as a PC2150 Odyssey, and roughly ~$100 cheaper.
I'm surprised that there wasn't more talk about diehards! I've always heard they were pretty good batteries!
Napa's batteries are made by DEKA. They are the best battery on the market. I have had Interstates, Exide,Cat, International,Deere, Motorcraft ,NAPA,Deka and AC Delco. I would never own anything other than a Deka/NAPA or a AC Delco
You guys might not belive this but i am using a set of gel battires my dad got from the air force before he retired in 1997!! and they still work great to this day!! I think he said they came out of some hummvees they had. they were test batteries. There is no name on them just stickers that say "U.S Air Force" nothing else. But it gets cold here and it spins the truck like no tommorow.
A year ago when my batts crapped out I was rather poor, and I went to Interstate and begged for help...they hooked me up with a pair of "BLEM" batts (scratch n' dents) for 22.50 a piece. They are great, can't beat the price, and when they run down (bad starter not batt) after only 45 min on a 5A charger will get me back enough juice to start the engine. Really dig Interstates.
