Default Anyone using the Odyssey PC680 battery?

Will this battery be enough to handle all the electrical needs of a car with aftermarket ignition boxes,nitrous bottle heater,etc.etc.???

I wonder about this myself. I'm leary about it since the cold cranking amps are less than half that of a stock full size battery.

I'm running one in my C4, but I don't have many electrical things left. It has no problem starting the car hot or cold, however.
