the standard PC680 is what 220CCA? or something. my batt is the same size. i could have gotten one 1/2 the size with more CCA then the PC680 and weigh in at 2.Xlbs. but i wanted the most for the spot i had. as for the C680 i do not know much about it so i can not compare.
my batt is this one. http://www.shoraipower.com/Products/...36A3-BS12.html. not cheep but i am sure you understand the benefits of Lithium-Iron.
i also have there charger. but you can use a reg charger if needed.
mine has been out of the car since last AUG and still holds 13.1V sitting on the shelf with no charge.

Looking at the Shorai lithium iron 540ca unit with 36 ah and charger for ~$350 range at the moment. The Lithium Pros looks amazing for sure but at close to $500 it's just a bit over what I'm wanting to put down for a battery at the moment.
Appreciate all of the input guys. Great to have a community where so many people come forward with so many proven options. Keep them coming for everyone

My Lithium battery got fully discharged while I was driving it because my electrical connector to my aftermarket alternator popped off. After further review I noticed that the retaining "click" mechanism was no working because the aftermarket alternator plastic electrical connection wasn't right.
I still haven't sent it back. Just sent my turbine housing out for extrude hone, head is coming off to get fixed, and manifold and hot parts will be sent out to swain tech.... so I have a bit of time

Extrude honing is definitely top notch. Love looking at pics of the process. You know I was concerned about the connector of the Excessive Amperage unit myself as the first two or three times I attempted to seat it, it just wouldn't click. Finally got on it with my hand at a different angle an "click" it went on. Maybe he had changed them since the first were made. Either way I hate to hear that happened.
Which lithium battery were you running? I'm currently on the Shorai LFX36A3-BS12 evodan2004 recommended and am quite impressed. With 0 gauge from the alternator to relay and fuse block power wires, 0 gauge back to the battery in the trunk, then 4 gauge back to a distribution block for spal fan and starter I'm getting 14.2 volts reading at the instrument cluster. The Magnafuel 4303 is definitely much happier.

when you check the connector make sure its seated properly, i have one of the first units and i ziptied the connector wire to my 0 gauge to make sure it stayes plugged in, so far so good, its been like that since march.
