sunn battery,batterymart.com look for oddesy pc680 13lbs or for a real strong one
pc 925 26lbs and a bunch of power. A pc 580 starts my car fine and tolerates reflahing
the pcm with the key on for a while also.

I was concerned about that too. They aren't that good (you can find the numbers on the web sites). I run one of these in the summer months only and then put the regular battery back in for the cool months.

Yeah the PC680 is a great light weight battery. However, in a full street car/daily driver I would probrably run the 925 just for the peice of mind. Check out this chart for all the Hawker specs, http://gotbatteries.com/products/sla...es/Odyssey.asp .

I just put a SVR battery in my car. It was 22lbs on my digital scale which was a 11lb savings over the stock battery and 4lbs lighter than the PC925. It also has 600 CCA compared to the 380 CCA of the Odyssey PC925. I had to use some post adapters from checker auto parts to get my stock cables to hook up. When I have time I'm moving it to the trunk.

I did a lot of research about these batteries before I bougt it. It seems the car audio guys have a lot of problems with the hawker odyssey line. They like the SVR Batteries though. I'll keep you guys updated on the SVR Battery. Oh it's also cheaper than the Odyssey(Free Shipping).
