Mini battery installed!!!

Some of you may have seen the PPI GB Odyssey mini battery kit for our cars. The timing was perfect because my stocker could barely hold a charge. I installed it today and couldn't be happier with quality and weight savings!

Fist pics shows stock battery at 36lbs. Second shows mini at 16lbs. My higher math skills says that's a savings of 20lbs! Not bad!

Mini batteries are far from junk. The only problem with running a mini battery is the life when the vehicle is not running.

Uhhhh, ok?

Let's see...

They are 20lbs lighter
Dry cell so the can be mounted in ANY position without fear of leaking
Has more CCA than stock

Little reserve power


It's all in your point of view. My next door neighbor told me that imports are junk.

For any length of time, at least. Obviously, time varies based on your system and what you're listening to. I sit and listen to talk radio for 15-20 minutes with my mini-battery and have no issues. Something with bass and subs won't last so long I'm sure.
