Battery ODYSSEY or Duracell

ODYSSEY Battery

The Odyssey PC680 is probably the best battery out there, if you can make it fit. I'd stay away from lithiums, you buy those when you are looking to save weight. For reliable low temperature operation, stick with a lead acid thats had decades of development.

Pros: reliable low temperature operation
Cons: fitment can be difficult
Part number: PC680

I used straps like the first link when I had an Odyssey battery a few years back. Eventually went back to an OEM one but the straps were an easy solution

Pros: easy solution

So I have the Odyssey 1200MJT in now and securely mounted with their "HDS mounting strap for 1200/1700 series batteries" from West Coast Batteries. It's mounted in the stock location in my 1994 Corrado VR6.

Pros: securely mounted, stock location
Cons: longer bolt needed
Mileage: 55000 km
Part number: 1200MJT

I use a 790cca Odyssey fmj in the summer and just bought a 590cca battery from Autozone and have a 4 year warranty and it seems to perform better than the oem battery that was killed by my bag setup.

Pros: performs better

I've got two of those now (in the Group 65 monstrosity size) and they live up to the promises especially still delivering at low states of charge. I left the parking lights on my truck on for 6 hours and it still started. I'm quite happy with them and would now recommend them over the Mexican-production Optima.

Pros: delivers at low charge, starts after 6 hours, happy with them

I used Odysseys PC-680 on other cars, particularly on Evos. They weight about 15lbs and they free up spaces dramatically but the reliability is awful. I went through 3 of them once. They will start the car with a little bit of difficulty but don't try to start the car with the A/C , the radio etc because they can't.

Pros: frees up spaces
Cons: awful reliability
Vehicle: Mitsubishi
Part number: PC680

So ever since I put subwoofers in my car they seem to be killing my batteries. My original battery lasted about 2 years (car was barely used for these 2 years), battery after that lasted a year (replaced last summer), and now it seems as if my current battery is going. I wanted to grab food before going to work yesterday so I got some food at Mcdonalds and sat in my car for 20-30 mins eating and listening to music. I went to fill my car up with gas after work (gas station not even a mile away) and the car barely started, normally it turns over very quickly, you could tell the car was REALLY struggling due to battery (everything dimmed as well). This was at night so my headlights were on while I was filling up. At the beginning of summer I went to a drive-in and was able to watch an entire movie without my battery dying. The battery is a Duracell with 725 CCA and 890 CA @ 32F

Pros: watched movie without dying
Cons: short lifespan, struggles to start, dims lights
