The panasonic POS must go....what are replacement options? Dealership tech said the battery needs a breather hose since it's in the trunk, not sure if that's BS or ?

I was told AMS makes a kit, but I don't see anything on their website specifically for the Evo X MR.

TIA

 

AMS has a mini battery kit. Give them a call.

 

enjoy!

As for the battery tie down, you can buy the AMS kit for $29.99, or make your own for about $8.00 from parts bought at a harware store.

 

how does tht battery compare with braille?

 

East Penn is the manufacturer of both Deka and Brallie batteries.

The Deka ETX14 is the same as the Braille, 11.5 lbs for both, with same cold cranking amps.

I prefer the larger ETX20L up here in New England because it lasts longer and starts better in the cold than the smaller Brallie (a.k.a. ETX14L)...as a matter of fact, my old Deka ETX20L was still going strong after two full years in my 07 WRX...right up to the day I traded it for my Evo X end of Jan 09. It also lasted longer than my old Odyssey PC680MJ, which after only one year in my weekend driver mach 1, it heat-soaked on me one summer day coming back from the track .

I plan to install a ETX20L in my new Evo X very soon. Between my Perrin cat-back exhaust and this battery, I will have shaved about 30 lbs off the car.

 

Paprika! Nice avatar, is that your Sunday car?

 

I have one from Buschur in my X... warm weather, cold weather, hard on it etc... it has performed perfectly.

 

As menitoned we also have our mini battery kit as well. Comes with a complete mounting tray, hardware, battery and terminals.
