Default Battery replacement?

So I think it's time for me to change my battery. My battery seems to die pretty quickly these days. Last time I had some photoshoot with my friend at night and had my lights on for about 30 min and the car was not able to start. Good it was parked downhill so I was able to jump start.

Today I decided to drive my car (I haven't driven it for nearly a week as my fender liner was missing, but I couldn't resist and it was not raining so...), but my battery was dead again.

Anyways, I think it's time for me to get a new battery and since I'm replacing, I think I should opt for a lighter battery like some ppl did. Just wondering if you guys can recommend me some good places? (with good deal of course!)

Thanks a lot!

I asked this before. I compiled the responses I got. Before I actually got a chance to look my Dad already went and got an OEM one lol.


think Justin @ Gearheads can help you with that
His username is SK
PM him, he'll give you a pretty good deal, I got my B/C one for cheap from him

battery place on broadway...between fraser and main...

LORDCO

Polar Battery on Boundary

Odyssey PC680 - $115.75

Costco! I just picked one up for around $70. but the terminals are reversed. You just need to turn the battery around. I had absolutely no problem.

Factory oem= $85 plus tax
I picked one up from lordco for $56 plus tax

Yep, +1 for Odyssey PC680.
I need a new one as well and that's what my research is leading me to.

You got the PC680 from Costco for $70??? I am there TOMORROW if I'm reading that right.

^lol, I think that's his list of "compiled responses" and not that he bought an Odyssey from there. Do they even sell that line?

Seems like a Hawker Genesis is a PC680 with a different name, and for less $$.

I guess this is too much for street use?

I'm sure you already saw it, but someone is selling a new one in the for sale forum.
