    Any advice on battery for the 599? I had to change mine (Yuasa HSB096) after 6 months and though I have kept the new one under CTek charge 3 days a week, it seems to lose power faster and faster ... anyone has experience with Odyssey batteries? any better?

    Not had any personal experience however most discussions about batteries on this forum end up recommending either Interstate, Braille or Odyssey.

    Also had similar experience (Yuasa) until the battery died after 6 months. I had it replaced under warranty. I now try to drive the car every week if I can and so far so good. I guess if the battery gets discharged completely to many times, it just does not perform any more and that can be quick. Btw, I also live in the borough, what color is your 599?

    Olivier- The battery FIAMM recommends is the L3 80+ Titanium+ EcoForce. You should be able to cross-reference that to a good Bosch battery. Or just go with the FIAMM, which is actually quite a good battery. The original OEM batteries in Ferraris usually get trashed sitting around in ports and at dealerships, but are good batteries.
