Hi there! I had a Buschur racing mini lightweight battery on my EVO, I don't know who made it but that battery isn't good enough on my car especially with this kind of season. I want a more powerful but also lightweight and small, do you know what's the good mini lightweight and powerful battery that will not let me down?

I need your help please. Thanks!

 

Right there in the same boat as you man.

wow i havent had problems yet but i will stay tuned to see if there is something better.....

 

We had a walmart lawn mower EXTREME battery in our S2k for awhile It worked great!

 

The Buschur Battery is the Odyssey PC 680. It has 220 cold cranking amps. If you dont drive your car every few days, it can die pretty easy in the cold. The only solution when going with a mini battery over the winter, is to get a battery tender, or return to the stock battery.

 

i believe the CA on pc680 is 680.. we sell a battery thats rated at 660 so i am sure the oddysey isnt 220.. maybe depending on outside temp. it changes.. below is the literature we have on the pc680.

Cranking Amps at 0 Degrees F: 265 amps

 

Cold Cranking Amps is measured at 30 seconds.

Odyssey PC680:
680 cranking amps for 5 seconds
595 cranking amps for 10 seconds
525 cranking amps for 20 seconds

Cold Cranking Amps - 220

 

ahhh I see.. Coldest it gets in FL is 50's.. what do i know.. LOL

 

I hate your face!!!!!!!

MD isn't that bad. It's no Florida though.

 

do u have a garage? battery tender's are cheap and excellent.

 

Yeah I have a garage and I also bought a battery charger so that everytime it goes dead I can quickly charge it, but I'm afraid it will be dead completely if I'm doing the charging frequently.

Is there any brand out there that can give more power and more life even if I'm not using or starting the car for a week?

 

well i can understand ur concerns.... to calm your worries let me tell you i've been using the pc680 units for over 3 years. i had one in my 03' evo that i used for a year in the cold (daily drive - outside), which i ripped out and used in my supra for another year(not weekend car - outside). for my 06 evo, i bought a fresh one (weekend car - garaged). take it from me, pc680 is more then enough for your need as long as your not careless leaving the light on or running some big stereo.

curently 10 month a year i only drive it once a week. the 2 month of snow i dont crank it at all. again, battery cranks great. also my friend drives his dsm that gets driven even less and long as pc680 stays disconnected, its fine. still worried?

 

not anymore

 

I have a Nisei lw kit with the Enersys Genesis battery. As listed I live in sh*tty/cold nj, and barely use the car in the winter. So far so good; the battery is holding up well...knock on wood. Battery tenders are good backup though : )

 

It time to change your upper ic pipes and go with your stock or get a second battery and relocated it.
