Default Hawker/Odessy lightweight battery?

I've seen a few of these lightweight batteries for sale lately.. Have any of you been having problems with them, or good results? Any info would be appreciated, as I'm looking into getting one.
Thanks

2 weeks, so far so good with an extra 300w subwoofer running off of it...and running in AZ.

I get the same voltage readings with it as i did w/ my optima yellow top.

I have the 925 odyssey

verbs, did your stock battery terminals fit the 925? I heard the threads on the Hawkers are smaller. Did you have to change your bolts?

the stock terminals wont fit the hawker. Im trying to find something to make mine fit now. I dont see paying 20bucks for the kit thunder sells!! 3-4 bucks for different bolts at a hardware store should do the trick

The battery works great as long as your wife remember to shut the trunk before you go off on vacation.

I have the SVR battery. No problems as of yet. My car is not a daily driver so every now and then I throw it on the charger when I haven`t started it in a while. Got mine from Raging. $100 bucks w/hold down and terminal kit.

The Hawker 925 has only 470 cca's. Factory is 525. I would be concerned if you plan to leave your fans on or use Auto Tap at the track for any period of time.
