Odyssey PC680, the same battery have been rebranded many times (Dyna-batt and the original Hawker Genesis G16EP etc).

Good and cheaper lightweight batteries are Deka and Power Sonic, just a suggestion.

Looks like either the Greddy or the Megan one. Nice way of mounting it.

The only issue I have had with the mini battery is in the cold. It seems like it cranks up a little slower than that of my stock battery.

That looks to be a Greddy model.

Hey Guys -

Sorry, it's been crazy around here. You won't have a problem with the cold starting on the super value battery. The only difference between the stock battery and the mini battery is the reserve capacity.

Thanks!

Michael

i have a odyssey PC680 that i bought from someone, this is the first winter that I've used it and i am gonna switch back to a stock battery relocating it in the trunk. It just don't have enough cold crank to start the car, I can't just jump in the car and start it, I have to turn it on ON for 15-30 sec before i start it. If the battery is happy it could slowly crank my car and start it, if is not it would just make a CLICK sound and i'd have to jump or push start it. Just wondering people who has Mini batteries, when you turn it on ON, what's the Voltage say on Your volt gauge?

I cant think of one better thing about a stock battery

How about a couple of really unimportant things like reliability and performance.

I'd never put a mini in my car to many horror stories plus I don't DD the car anymore so I'd have to charge it constantly. No thanks. I like the reliability of a full size battery even if I don't drive the car for a week it fires right up.

Interstate + Trunk relocation FTW
