So when does it turn back on? Does that effect the keyless entry functionality or anything like that that is "always on"?

you have to switch back on . The switch is located on top. Of course you have to reset your windows etc. again. For me its the weight matter most.

Ah ok. Interesting... thanks for the info.

Sounds a little too inconvenient for me personally unfortunately but the weight savings are undeniably awesome.

Is there a mode where you don't have to keep switching it back on?

How does that work? It shuts off all the time and you have to reset it all the time, or it only shuts off when the charge drops to a certain level and you have to manually reset it occasionally?

How often does that happen? Or is it just when you forget your lights on etc? No problems daily driven?

Odyssey Extreme is what I have in my ISF. Best battery I have ever owned in any car.

Thanks in advance.

Well. 3 years and 3 months and my Bosch AGM battery finally died. But note that it was actually built 3 years prior to purchase (ugh - didn't notice until after I installed).
Telltale signs over the last 2-3 weeks were slight hesitation upon starting and my dashcam voltage cutoff monitor (Blackvue Power Magic Pro) was cutting power to the dashcam right away (indicating < 12v).
Got 11.1 volts last night and then not surprisingly it finally didn't start this morning.
Got a free replacement (has a nice 4 year warranty) at Pep Boys. Though interestingly it no longer shows the Bosch AGM Group 24 battery as compatible.
