The Buschur battery is an Odyssey, they have 1 year warranties on them. contact Odyssey to see if you can get a replacement. You just need to send them the battery top.

Why don't you call buschur and ask if they will warranty it?

It's just an Odyssey PC680 battery, not like buschur manufactured it.

Wellll, how often are you calling? Based on this thread it doesn't seem like you try too hard to find answers for yourself. All the mini battery kits on the market are Odyssey PC680's, this is common knowledge. What else did you call them for? What kind of spark plugs to run? What kind of oil to use?

I've bought a sh1tload of stuff from buschur, I have called the I think one time for a question on something I bought from them. The rest of the time it's just to thank them for the awesome stuff they built for me

^^ whats wrong with asking or not knowing. If your selling ****, you should be ready to answer any question a customer has. Anyone who's ever operated a storefront will tell you that.

It might be something other then the batt. did you check your alternator. Check to see if the bolts backed out and test it to see if its still working at 100%.

Join the club with non stop evo problems. Be gald you still have a running car.

I had it tested when I got it. Right out of the box, it was @ 370CCA. I believe they are WAY under rated.

You can't blame Buschur for it, I have had 3 batteries like that already, one on the Evo and two more on my Eclipse(one went bad), it is the Oddysey PC-680, Buschur just sells them but it isn't their fault.

They are weak by nature and we all know that, you can't let them go for long without driving/charging the car. I actually got one from batteries plaus and went bad.

wheres the best bang for your buck? any have a warranty? anywhere like a local autoparts got one?

i sure as hell won't buy another buschur i think i'm beyond my limit with buschur right now.

appreciate the input
have you tried a plain battery charger? if so, that does nothing for the mnini-battery. i have to say i am going on ~10000 miles and the battery is just as strong as day one... you can find a pulse battery charger, and it will fix your problem more than likely... buschur makes outstanding products... did you ever slow charge the battery to condition it? it will die if you dont take care of it.. just like anything else..

that is all... buschur also has a warranty... its a year warranty... have you called them?
