Daily driver lightweight battery
I have the Odyssey PC 680 and I'm very happy with it. Granted, I don't daily drive with it, but I actually think driving the car more often would be better for the battery since it would get a recharge from the alternator more often. Point is, the battery seems to have daily driver reliability. I can leave the car sit for two weeks and it fires right up with no problem.
You just have to be careful with this (or I assume any battery this small) that you don't pull any bonehead moves like leaving you lights on all day or just sit in your car listening to the radio for hours on end. One main difference between this battery and a full sized one is that it has the same CCA's as a full sized, but only 24mins of reserve time. In other words, it gets drained alot quicker than a full sized battery with more reserve time.
Bottom line, I don't daily drive this battery, but I would have no problem doing so.

The Hawker Oddysey PC950 is the one you want. It's 24lbs and can easily handle daily driver duty. Or you could get a similar sized Braille I suppose. I have used the PC950 and PC680 and you want the PC950 trust me. It's a nice battery with some reserve.

I've been using the braille battery for the last 3 years. You're better off if you drive the car alot. If you let it sit for much more than a week without starting it can be a problem. Also, the biggest problem is winter if you live in a cold area. They can't take the cold, but I don't drive it during the winter so I pull the battery and put it in the house.

I've been using a Dynabatt for about 3 or 4 years now, never left me stranded. I did kill it in about 5 minutes though when I left the bottle warmer on with the car not running.
