Mini Battery

I want to change the IC pipes and was wondering if the Odessey PC925 DryCell Battery is small enough to have the ralliart IC pipe fit. Is there any other batteries that have enough cranking power and reserve to be used for everyday driving.

Thanks

Just picked up a small batt, about 2/3 size and weight of stock unit. Has cold 625/500 cranking amps. Paid $35 from 'COSTCO' !

cranking amps isn't the only concern with a tiny battery. reserve power is also pretty darn important. If you accidentally leave a light on, or use the stereo when the engine is off, the chances of you draining the battery until it wont start the car anymore is very high

I understand that the buschur racing mini battery has more cranking power but what about reserve. I have read a couple of post saying that their batterries failed after six months.

right now I just have it mounted in the stock battery tray. all that is meant by it needing extra spacers is that the provided spacers with the battery that are used like shims for the tie down rods and need to be about a half inch longer, or you could thread your tie down rods some more. here is a pic
