Has anybody used the new powermaster battery, it might be a replacement for the Odyssey 680 that everybody says cant hold charge. I saw it at jegs for $89.99

here's some specs:

bump for any user info

 

We've had issues with the Odyssey 680 on customers cars before. Comes to find out that it wont hold a charge due to the fact that it requires a 14V battery charger. Same with the Braille batteries.

Seen the Powermaster battery used a few times but no feed back here. But we've used a ton of the Stinger SP800 with no problems at all

Brand: Stinger
Condition: New
Battery Type: Dry Cell
Max Peak Discharge: 2400 AMP
5-Second Cranking Output: 925 AMP
Cold Cranking Output: 470 AMP
Nominal Capacity: 30 Ah (C20 rate)
Diminsions: 7.1L x 6.7W x 5.6H

 

Thats XS Power battery looks just like the PC680, it even has a similair model number of D680. Something tells me they might be manufactured by the same company.

 

looks like the same battery. Stinger-aamp also sell Odyssey made batteries. These batteries require a very hot charger to work.

 

I just purchased one! I hope its good! I cant go any bigger than this for a battery so wish me luck! I will report back!

 

Good luck, did you purchase it with the charger? It claims to have 500cca on some sites, let us know how it turns out.

We've used the Stinger batteries for quite a while now. A regular charger seems to hold it fine where as the Odyssey and Braille ones we've had here wont.
