anybody locally running this battery? Thoughts on it?
PC680-P
I am not running this battery, but I know several people (in real life!) that do. It's a motorcycle battery of course and will start your car fine and save some weight. The biggest/only issue with these is they have a smaller capacity so if your car is not driven for long periods of time you risk having the battery run down on you. Along the same lines, they don't preform quite as well in the cold but the S is more of a warm weather car any way...

Bottom line, keep it charged and it will be fine. Try not to listen to the stereo with the car off, ect. You will also have to purchase adapters for the screw in terminals.

Also they make a metal jacket version "MJ" which is the same battery but has... a metal jacket around the plastic area. It's way cooler.

Tom I run something similar in a Braille. I would recommend it. Weight savings are considerable. But if you have a lot of stereo stuff you might opt for a larger battery.

Thanks for the insight guys. I do not have any extra stereo equipment nor do i plan on putting any in so I think itll do just fine. I guess the only issue I may run into is maybe the battery running out on me as I only drive my S 3 or 4 times a month.

I have mine on a battery tender from Amazon. About $30-$40 for one. Works great.

I use the DEKA EXT16 and it's been great.

It's been said the Braille and Odyssey are just rebadged Deka's selling for $3x+
The carbon fiber Braille is pretty cool for show though.

$80

I have run the PC680 pretty much the life of my car. They last me roughly 3 years which is about as long as the OEM lasted me. There definitely is very limited reserve time so I don't sit and listen to the radio without the car running. It's worked fine living in the Phoenix and Vegas deserts and also when I lived up in the in the snow on the mountain. I would recommend keeping it on a battery tender if you don't plan on driving the car for more than a week. The one I have now has the Metal Jacket (MJ) however, the previous ones did not. We'll see if maybe this one will last a little longer.
