Default Thoughts on Odyssey PC680-P Battery

I'm planning on replacing my battery with smaller size battery. I saw Odyssey PC680-P Battery on amazon for $104.30 shipped. Are there anywhere else that sells it cheaper? and also, how long these battery last? if anyone is using them. Any input and information is greatly appreciated. Than You.

That's a good price. I have used it on another car. Good battery as long as you don't have tons of electronics in your car. The CCA's are below what's OEM recommended so depending on where you're located it might come into play during cold starts. It's lightweight and leaves more room for other mods near battery location.
Get a battery tender At the same time and install that as well so you can keep it charged when not driven. I have the Braille CF battery (11.5lbs) with Battery Jr. Tender. Been happy with it for years.

Or spend more for a lighter battery

540CCA should start a S no problem.
At under 5 lbs it packs a punch in a small package.

That's a good battery. That's my next one. There a vendor that sells this plus a billet battery box for it. Super nice. CCA's are important.

I was using a Ballistic Lithium battery with 400 CCA, now using a Scorpion Lithium battery.

I'm also using a Scorpion Stinger battery. It's 3.6lbs and has more CCA than the OEM battery it replaced.
