Lighter Battery

[nelsonian101]

I am considering a lighter battery for daily duties and circuit use.

Will this Odyssey PC680MJT Dry-Cell do the job and where do I get a bracket to hold it in place?

The car is rarely left for more than a couple of days without turning over.

I've had one of those before. it was run flat a few times and always bounced back and sat neglected for 12 months and still came good. next time my battery dies I'll get one again, only reason I didn't buy it last time as my battery died while I was on holidays.

the car I had it on previously was a high comp turbo 4 cylinder but I think with the advertised 5 seconds of 680cca it should be ok for the T. someone might confirm or otherwise though.

That looks ok but it 3kg heavier than the odyssey and my FG is on a serious weight loss program at the moment for the track.

I have run one in my R Spec for 3 years. I had one go flat when I went to the US for 10 weeks and forgot to disconnect it. It charged up fine and is now a spare as I bought a replacement just in case the first one was cactus. It says in the link that they have many various brackets to hold them. If you are really serious about weight loss try googling "Lithium car start battery". I think they weigh less than 2 kilo's and don't cost that much. That said the Oddseesy is a great battery.

Hate too go against the grain here but i wouldn't use an Odyssey battery again. Had nothing but problems with the 2 PC925´s I had.

I running a Optima D51R and it seems to have sorted the idle quality issues I used too have with the PC925´s

For my money and the sake of a couple of KGS´s I would look at other wieght loss options. A nice strong high capacity battery that keeps a stable voltage up too the PCM and IGN system will give you more benefit power wise

that's because its the equivalent to an odyssey 925 which I believe is the minimum size for our cars . Will the one your suggesting have enough grunt if your car doesnt start the first. And what I suggested was an odyssey equivalent as it seems alot of these batteries have been having problems. Pulse is another good brand.

I've heard fullriver are rubbish, I was offered one for free but I took advice and didn't waste my money.

How could you waste money when it was for free. Process west use the batteries in his kits.

Oops meant to say time . My mate has a golf buggy business and works with batteries all day
