Odyssey PC680 is a total POS (3rd one down)
im on my second because i left my lights on over night a couple a times (heard my neighbors say "I cant believe it started he left his lights on all night" to which i replied quietly "you bastards." my neighborhood has a weird echo, they could have knocked on the door or called bastards.) But i bought another after i recharged that one now ive got one for sale if anyones intrested $70+shipping or best offer (u will need terminals)

Mike,
I attempted the last final charge. I fooled my "smart" Sears charger by connecting an additional battery with some jumper cables so that the charger will initiate the charge. The reason why I am saying this is because most chargers will not even start charging if your voltage is extremely slow, this was the case.
Like I said, I started charging it and it began charging for a few minutes then it will shut down saying error on the digital display followed by the red light that means bad. I did this 3 times and no luck..
I went to Bateryplus and I talked to the guys there, they told me nothing new, basically leaving a battery unattended for a few weeks or even days can qualify for negligence and this is a route I already been with my BMW motorcycle with only 3000 miles and having the dealer rejecting the warranty..sounds crazy I know.
All the sudden I saw the light at the end of the tunel. People mentioned in the past the Honda and the Miata batteries, Bingo, the Miata battery is a perfet match. It is a normal led, it is just soo much smaller than the oem specially in height and depth.
The PC680 was rated at 220amp while the Miata replacement is rated at 370 and only weights a few more lbs.
I will follow up shortly with a set of pictures and weights comparing both, you guys will be surprise with the appeal of this battery, it cost much less as well (about $100 though battery plus), maybe I could had find it on Pep boys or autozone but botton line guys I think this new battery is in my opinion a great sustitute.
Thanks for all the inputs.

Right they must have been talking about a 30amp charger, the voltage on a charging battery with a charger can creep up to 16-17 or so at times but that depends on the charger and battery...
Ok well I got it on a 12v 50amp charge right now. I can only pick from 12v 15amp or 12v 50amp 12v 250amp and the 12v250 is for starting cars. It's been charging for about 45 minutes and boy does it get hot. How long should I let it sit on the charger for?
