WTF, i'm lost on what to do.

I got a mini battery kit from ETS which I must say is a very nice piece. Put the kit in no problem. 2 weeks later i have problems starting the car. It just clicks and i lose all power. Diagnos is to be a bad connection so when I have my mechanic lean on the positive terminal the car will start. I relize the bad conection is just below the red serrated piece inside the battery. Basically the whole terminal just turns inside the battery and the connection loses strength. with no way to take it apart i buy a new battery. I also read people can over torque them and mess them up. So i figured i did that and ate it. Now i'm on my 2nd battery and a month later same thing happened. Catch is this battery CAME with the terminals attatched from odyssey. So now my car is down AGAIN!!! What do I do now? buy ANOTHER battery? let the car sit for god knows how long while they warranty it?

DOES ANYONE KNOW ANOTHER BATTERY WITH DIFFERENT STYLE TERMINALS WITH THE SAME DIMENSIONS???

 

oh man, sorry to hear about the problems. call them and see if they'll replace it while you send back the other. ive had good luck with the odessy, but did you look at the braille mini's?

 

i'm searching for an alternative. regardless I'm still without a car in the meantime ya know. I need something the same size though to fit into my tray

 

I did that to my first battery but the second one has been great with no problems

 

very nice batteries but I just checked them and all of their batteries are 3.4" inches thick or wider. I need something that is 7 1/16" in length, 3" wide, and
6 9/16" tall or less

 

I've bought Hawker EP16s in the past. Not sure if those dimensions work for you.

 

I've had my Buschur battery for almost 2 years no problems yet. I haven't checked, but I assume it uses a Odyssey most kits do.

 

I have the Odyssey PC925 in my car, which is a little bigger, and it has been great for over a year even though I have deep cycled it 3 times by letting the car sit for 2-3 weeks and it still works great.

 

I like BR alot too. It was died after a winter storage and is about a yr and half old. Its been great so far this summer and last. I also have a 350 watt alpine amp and JL 10 running off that Battery with so capacitor the whole time. I thought it was an Odyssey but dont know that as it only says BR on it.

 

I never had a problem with my odesy which I got from Buschur Racing in conjunction with thier mini battery kit

 

I've had my Buschur battery for close to three years now with no problems. I do not know who makes the battery for them but if you give them a call they might be able to help out.

waiting on a call back from odysey now

 

i would just get a replacment.you just got a defective battery.mines has been awesome and i let it sit for weeks at a time.i cant believe how good the cranking power is even after sitting for a long time and my cold start kinda sucks with aem.

 

That is strange. Myself or my customers have had that happen with our kits that use the same battery

 

Over the past 2 years I've had my Odyssey my car has sat for weeks in the cold and several months in the garage and it started right up every time.
