Interesting, I never knew they were even available in the states.

Anyway, back on topic.

Buy Deka, support my local economy

 

Then you weren't driving the car hard enough

The plastic height extender will slide out from under mine at the track, so I am planning to just get shorter J-hooks and get rid of it.

 

The height extenders that came with my ETX 14 could not "slide out" from under my battery unless the J-bolts failed. They have a lip around the edge that the battery sits in.

 

Youre using r-comps you cheater

 

seems the deka is to be the most poplular both the 14 and 16.
but whats wrong the odessy 680 again? i mean if i could get it for 100 bucks shipped is it worth it?
i guess the deka can be had for like 75 shipped is what i gather? but which is lighter

 

this is my battery, yes it is really 4lbs with terminals

Those prices are so much better than I've ever seen for Lithium. How long have you had it? Any issues with cold / hot temps?

So far, I still think the PC680 was better than either of the other small batteries I've tried, including the ETX14.

 

My last trip to the US I tried to find a Deka battery supplier but could not find one for the life of me. They need to bump up their marketing or distribution efforts. I came home empty handed.

 

i think im just gonna go with the pc680 as well it can be had for like 100 bucks shipped with the terminals

 

Ive had it for around 8 months so far. I live in norcal and the car is garaged. Car is not daily driven but raced 30-40 weekends a year. It hasn't had any issues starting the car in the 40 degree weather we've been having. If your really concerned they have a 5lbs battery that puts out 540cca which I think is pretty close to the stock battery output.
