are you guys using batteries from ATV's and motorcycles?

 

which small battery you guys think is the best to not have any issues

 

That may be true but it doesn't mean it will hold a charge for as long as say a group 51 style battery. CCA doesn't mean jack if your mini battery won't hold a useable charge for more then a few days. No potential, no start.

 

I bought mine from Buschur a while back (mini oddesy), never had an issue. I even have a full system in the trunk.

 

ive seen so many people with problems i will probly just relocate it in the trunk and get an optima yellow top

 

The wife has been running a Braille 11.5 lb. in her Turbo S Beetle for over a year now without any issue. Her remote for her alarm died in that time but the Braille battery is still kicking. I just ordered the same battery for the Evo last week. The wife just went on a 6 week residency about 400 miles away and I was confident in it.

i once saw a thread where a guy found mini batteries for like $60 or so...anyone know what im talkin about?

 

You're using batteries that were designed for boats and atv's. So don't expect it to act like a car battery.

 

SMALL BATTERIES SUCK not to mention they look horrid. that is definitely what ur problem is

 

^ W/E I've had countless mini-batteries and they've always worked fine. Hell my Evo sits in the garage most of the time and starts right up, sometimes without driving it for weeks! My current PC1680 has lasted me almost three years with no issues.

 

I have an Odyssey PC680 that I initially had problems with until I bought a trickle charger that charges at .5 - 1 amps. My battery ran low a few weeks back and I had trouble getting it to hold a charge until I used the trickle charger, now it's good as new.

I hadn't started my car in about 2 weeks until this morning and it started up twice in a row.

 

I also have an Odyssey, have had it in 2 different Evo's and never had any problems with it.

 

very interesting

 

You need to charge it.

 

i have had with mine forever. i put together a a setup to mount an optima in my trunk this weekend and im sure it will be good then.
