Thumbs up Odyssey PC680 Battery

Hi!
I'm buying a new battery for my car and i was thinking of shaving of some pounds. I found the odyssey pc680 for sale here in sweden and i looks real nice.
Anyone have any thoughts or experiences of it?
And Also the seller has two versions PC680MJ and PC680 which one should i use? Price is almost the same so is the specs from what i can see, so i'm thinking of buy the PC680MJ cause it looks hotter

I'm running the PC680. It has limited reserve capacity so if you live in cold climate or run electronics it will probably be inadequate.
I found it needs to be charged to full when you get it and if ignored for over a week otherwise it has worked fine for two years. It does save 13 lbs.

thanks for your fast answer, i'm definitley having one. Dont have any electronics right now, planning on reinstalling my oem stereo but i'm guessing it should be able to play music while driving with this battery installed.

Have some friends thinking they are going to smoke me this summer so i'm loosing all the weight that i can

I got mine from Portable Power Systems (PPS) in Colorado. Google and you will find it.

I'm using this battery as well. No probs so far. I'm thinking about getting the optional metal jacket though, since my under the hood temps are ferocious due to my manifold.
