Default 4.5 Pound Battery

https://s.p10.hostingprod.com/@www.voltphre...?products_id=33

Does anybody have any experience with this product? I've been browsing through threads on this forum and have yet to encounter a battery this light that actually cranks.

temp range only goes up to 140 seems like it might get a little hotter depending where you put it

I ordered my Braille thru Braille out of Florida. I have seen the Odyssy (sp?) advertised at numerous car parts stores and online.

I have had good luck with Odyssey so far as well. I got the 680 model number. I think it is about 13-14 lbs, half the weight of stock.

These are the cheapest places I've found to purchase the Odyssey. The prices of these things seem to have risen drastically since they first became popularized on the forum.

12amp-hour - wow, that's very little capacity. Don't crank your (non-stock) stereo up with the car not running...

Every time I wash my car, the OEM battery dies... I don't want to know how bad one of these smaller batteries are.

However, for my track car, it might make sense, I took almost anything with wires in the cabin out
