small battery help
Hello,
I am looking to move away from my pc680 battery
I see people say miata batteries = prefer post's on other ends
or
grp 51 batteries = costco/interstate grp 51 is too tall, they measure ~8.75"
nobody claims to have a miata battery in-store locally when i call to measure up.
what make/model miata batteries are you using?
any chance that someone can i.d. the battery in this pic?
i dont mind making a battery tray & not interested in moving the battery to the trunk either.

This little battery is tough as nails. I had one for 5 years. Let it die over and over and it kicked butt until it didnt. I replaced it with an Odessy, treated it the same and it took a crap in 8 months. Went back to the Shuriken, still let it die all the time and it's still working great.

Ive only had it for about a month or two. My odyssey lasted over 3 years but towards the end of its life it was garbage. It left me stranded 1 too many times so i contacted ets and they recommended there battery.
So far so good. i live in SOCAL and i am on e85 also but as you know we dont really have a winter here.
ETS: 480 cca
Odyssey: 170 cca
So the ets pushes out 310 more cca.
The only downfall is its a little heavier but........
Oh and ets is only 99 bucks.

I also had a group 51 battery and my car wasn't too happy about starting on the Infinity. I have a EFI battery tray that I trimmed to work with ETS short route piping. You may not have to trim it if you are using an open filter. I moved to a Odyssey 1100 and things got much better on the Infinity .Now with the MoTec it starts like a stock car.

Using a full river Hc20, extremely good battery will do 680CCA for 5 seconds. And flat rated to 310cca after that time. Only issue is they tend to go flat rather quick, but a decent 10AMP charger kicks her to life easy as.

This is the one: https://shoraipower.com/lfx36l3-bs12-p130
I've had great success with that battery for almost 4 years now. Also, Shorai as a company is awesome to deal with so another reason to support them and buy their stuff.
5# and 540CCA. Think it cost me about $260 and then you just need some terminals which you can probably reuse from your current mini battery if you have one. As for the battery tray I just hacked up the OEM one but even that isnt needed.

Best thing I ever did for cold weather starts was step away from the mini-battery.
This is the Miata battery I used:
Duralast Gold 8AMU1R
I fabbed up my own battery tray, fits with the ETS short route upper IC.
