the battery you linked is only 180 cca, it would maybe start the car the first two times but after that it probly wont. and some batteries will even reset the trip meter. my mazda miata batt. does great and its lighter than the older style braile led acid

Read through the thread and he claims its perfectly fine for a daily. Was looking into the miata battery but how much does it weigh?

I've been through this batt. ****. it really don't take much to start the car. When it really loads the battery is setting in traffic with the blower goin, wipers wipein, headlights lightin and the radio goin. The really small batteries just don't have the capacity for it. That 680 will reset your trip meter to start the car. You think, huh......not a big deal. When it does that it also resets your fuel trims.

That battery linked above is a POS. I used it, it didn't last and BARELY started the car when charged,died at the track twice and I have the later model one.

Here are some that LOOK good but I can't get any data or feeback on a street car that is daily driven before I spend the money...


lithium pros C680-super light but expensive. I don't care as long as it works

Deka Big Crank ETX18L-you will need the Odyssey SAE terminals ODY-3217-0006 to make it work. BatteryMart.com sells those

The oe battery weighs 36lb.
I've emailed with lithium pro's before. He seemed to think it would do the job and has some running around on ls cars and says they're doin fine. He will cut ya a small deal on the 680 to $475. But you would probably be better off with the bigger one (925).

FYI.... Battery Mart .com is in Winchester.

Weight of 925?

Wow hmm I might buy one from them when I am up there


I wonder how that one is that you quoted...

The 925 weighs 9.5lb but cost almost $1000. There is a guy on this site that can get a similar battery for $725.

The battery in that link might work but I'm sure it would tax it.
