For a replacement, I would recommend a dyna-batt. Everybody says they are the same as the Oddessy, but I just don't believe it. I've had really good luck with my last dyna-batt. I ran it for like 5 years. Ran it dead and recharged with a normal charger probably 30+ times. Never had an issue with starting in -10 degree 12" snow days or 120 degree Vegas trips.
I'm surprised no companies are making a battery mount for the Miata battery. OEM quality, 475 CCA, light weight, fully sealed and smaller then stock.
I made a battery mount for a Miata battery with the battery rotated into the same orientation as the small battery kits. It only sits out probably 1.5" more than the small battery kits. I have enough room to fit a full 3" IC pipe on 4" bend radius with 1" straight before the throttle body for the coupler. I'll see if I can snap a picture tomorrow.

Battery isnt $200, I bought mine on Ebay for $90 new, same battery
Ive had mine for 2 years, daily driven even in 30 deg. weather, no problems. I stopped Daily Driving it, forgot and left the battery hooked up for a month, was dead.
I work at toyota and we have a Hybrid battery charger, let it charge for about a day or two, works like new again

Ive had mine for 2 1/2 years now and it does die every winter do to the fact the car doesnt get driven from the first snow fall of salting of the read til April. Ive always just given it a quick charge the first time in the spring then it good all spring summer and fall.
I guess Ill see if mine lives thru winter number 3 or not.

battery is bad i'm a Caterpillar mechanic so i know how to test and all that good stuff and sheides, your ignorant as **** obviously. of course i call on how to change my oil you ****ing idiot. i've only called a few times and it was about orders or a part. and this being my first car i'm learning and the buschur sticker is over the odyssey sticker so no i didn't know it was an odyssey. i figured like many companies they outsource the battery and put their sticker on it. NOT buy from another company and put their sticker OVER the companies who makes it, Which they shouldn't be doing if they dont have permission which from what i was told by odyssy they don't and it shouldnt be done.
odyssey also said to contact buschur and said the battery has a 2 year warranty not a 1 just so you others know. buschur said it had a one year so im just going to swap it from someone local or buy a new 680 local thanks guys for the input
ill keep battery mart in mind too
and i shouldnt blame buschur no, but their sticker is on it and i didnt know there was another under it but, they should also take care of the issue since i baught it from them. and they said its 2 months out of warranty and didnt even offer to try and hit up odyssey and check if 2 months out is ok. (thats if it was a 1year which again is a 2 year)

Yeah my Buschur/Odyssey mini battery(states it on Buschur's site) was going strong after 30k miles(2+years, cold IL winters etc..) It is a dry cell battery just like Optima's.. I used to have an optima and let it sit for a month.. It didn't work, completely dead... Not exactly you have to trickle charge, them for a day or two. Then they are just like new..

evo crazy obviously you have no clue what your talking about and thats funny you think i'm an idiot because apparently you think you can recharge a battery forever. you have no clue how a battery works so you might as well leave this topic and leave evom for being another ****ing dick wad *****. the battery tested as bad yes i tried recharging it and i tried trickling it as well. i also called odyssey and they said just do a 10 amp charge and if it doesn't take a charge it's junk. i know its junk thats not what i was asking though
just wanted to know where i can get a battery for a decent price and anything comparable so all you who posted thinking your tuff **** and are a know everything ***** **** you because you don't
and thanks to the people who are actually being informative and trying to help out there needs to be more people like that
instead of ****** pushing people away from the car scene because you think you know 1 ****ing thing
