Pretty amazing battery. Back in June 2009, I purchased an Odyssey PC925 battery to put into a 91 K75S I was selling. I bought the bike back last July and let it sit since then. Over the weekend I pulled the bike out to bring it back to life and was somewhat surprised to see a running clock. Just for kicks, I hit the start button and the bike turned over pretty well. I then checked it with a voltmeter and it read 11.2V - from a nine year old battery that had sat untouched running a clock for 10 months! (I don't know what it's state of charge was when I got the bike last summer.)
While I was redoing the bike's fuel system I hooked it up to a Battery Tender Jr which brought it back up to 12.5V and, once I had the bike sorted out, it had no problem starting the bike.
I wasn't 100% sure if it was the same battery that I'd installed in 2009 but when I pulled it out to do a spline lube it had the installation date of 6/09 written on it my handwriting so it is the same battery.
