Well I think it's time to buy a new battery and was wondering the groups opinion on which battery to get. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)
I believe the Odyssey's are smaller and lighter than the Optima's but are there any other differences I should be looking for? Any good deal links would be useful too. This will be going in a 'Semi' DD and the only extra pull I will need would be for a decent sound system. Thanks... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) |

Best deals on Hawkery/Odyssey can be found here....
http://www.gotbatteries.com/products/slaba...ies/Odyssey.asp I just installed the PC545 in the Elise. Weights like 12 lbs. Turns over the car without any issues and runs the stereo fine (from the alternator). (IMG:http://www.trix.com/Elise/adamant/batt/DSCF0010.JPG) I would recommend the PC680 for the 914. They also offer mounting brackets, suitable for mounting the car in the rear trunk... http://www.gotbatteries.com/items.asp?para...1/Odyssey/PC680 |
