Just installed the Odessey battery in my '99 this weekend. Weighs ~14 pounds vs ~35-40 pounds for a "normal" battery. 2 days of use and I can't tell it's there (good thing). It's made by Hawker if I remember correctly. Put in a search for either Odessey or Hawker. In the meantime, I know I have a link somewhere. If I find it, I will post.

Found the link. www.hepi.com

The part number is PC 680.

I don't have much experience with it yet, but so far so good.

Here are some more links to buy a Hawker. The Dynabat is a relabled Hawker anyway.

Would this battery be stable enough to put in a daily driver? Will it work properly with our alternators?

Well they are all dry cells, so they should work fine.

As for the odyssey, do i need an adapter plate or anything else?
