or relocat a full size battery to the trunk

 

You're gonna have the same issue with any small battery.

If you've had it for less than a year I'd go through the manufacturer to get a replacement under warranty (call buschur and they'll tell you who to call).

I'd recommend you either install a battery kill switch or relocate the battery to the trunk

 

It's an Odyssey PC 680

 

Im about to need to get a small battery kit soon cause of the uicp. Ive read in some post that many of these batteries die soon. I will like to know whick of these small batteries is the best of them all?

 

If the battery is draining in 3 days it is probably not the battery's fault. The batteries have proven to be excellent but they only have so much capacity. All new cars have things that drain the battery down. My guess is you have an excessive drain coming from something.

To give you an idea about how much drain new cars have, new VW's come with a solar powered battery charger when they are shipped here. They are stuck to the windshield with suction cups and plugged into the OBD2 port. When the cars are put on the lot and sold they are taken out. I know this because I have a good friend that works for VW and he gives me all these panels that get thrown out. I am almost to the point I can power a small town

Anway, check for some excessive drain from something, the battery should not lose a charge in 3 days. If you park it at your house for 3+ days I'd recommend getting a $25 battery tender from Walmart and putting it on the car. The work kick ***.

 

I've had my BR battery kit for a year and a half and have never had an issue.

 

Mines from June of 2006. I only drive my car once a week at that and it always cranks fine. Except after it sits for 4 months in a pole barn all winter.

If you want to check to a parasitic draw unhook the neg terminal and connect an amp meter the cable and the post. Any think over a couple of amps is excessive.

 

What's the price on those things?

 

they usually go around this price. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...part=ody-pc680

 

I have the Buschur battery kit on my car for a good 2 years now. yes, if it sits for more than 4 days its really hard to start. I did what dave suggested, i went to discount auto oparts & bought the Schumacher 1.5 battery tender. Its $25 & it works great. No issues anymore. It actually extends the life of the battery.

 

If you don't want to mess with the battery tender just undo one of the terminals on the battery if you know it will sit for a few days to prevent it from draining.
