I am looking at purchasing a racing battery for the car, but am unsure how to connect it since it doesn't have the standard battery terminals. I was told there may be an adapter kit to create standard terminals and was hoping someone on here may be able to help. Here is a picture of the battery with terminals:



Thanks!

I know the Odyssey PC680 has a terminal kit you can order that bolts into the battery top and provides the posts needed for standard type battery harness.
Not too sure about that brand though.

So there battery looks like that without the kit? Maybe I can order the kit from Odyssey for this battery.

Just googled and it looks like the PC680 starts off a female for their terminal kit where as this battery has male connectors.

yes exactly.
I've used the PC680 in several of our 12.5:1 IS300 racecars with good success. Also before in my daily driven FD. I just ordered one for my S2k racecar build.
Might be worth considering if you haven't ordered already.

I really want to run a battery with the specific dimensions of the above Varley. It's super light at 10.9 pounds.

You really want to run a $800 battery? The oddessy seems like a much more cost effective option ...

edit: sorry, I thought you were looking at the 60

just weighed the PC680 for reference, still in cardboard box, 15.0lb even, around $150 new.
I wouldn't want to go with much less capacity than it offers.

Many batteries available in the $200 price range that weigh 11#'s

Ryan is trying to fit a battery to a certain footprint, so thats why he is limited on some options. oddessy and braile were easy solutions, but didnt fit, literally.
