how much does a factory prelude battery wegiht? i was thinking about getting the pc625 (second battery) from http://www.odysseybatteries.com/specs.htm beucase it only weighs 13.2 pounds. have any of you used this battery before, how is it, and did you notice any problems/changes, how long did it last? thanks

 

anyone?

 

not sure on exact weight...but, it is alot more than 13lbs..

I would speculate its anywhere from 30-50 lbs..

D who hasn't picked up a lude battery in a long *** time.

 

about 40lbs I think

 

cool deal, now has anyone used this lightweight battery before?

 

The stock one is right around 40 lbs. I bought the equivalent of the PC680, but it's not installed yet. I'll let you know how it goes in a few weeks...

cool thanks

 

ive got the 680, bought it last august (i think)... battery is light, and its small size gets a lot of attention... my car gets turned on once a week (track days) and has no radio...

 

is it a good battery for everyday use and the radio always on?

 

great thread, i myself is in need of a new battery. i looked at the optima's and found out it's heavy. 13lbs for a battery is good but would it be strong enough for a system + aftermarket alarm?

oh yeah what is the dimension for the stock battery?

you said this is going to be your seconed battery? are you keeping your primary battery and adding this one or are you replacing your primary? I cant see why you would need two unless your running some crazy amps

 

if your'e talking to me, i was thinking of replacing the factory battery with his one

 

so noone else uses this battery?

 

I don't personally have one yet, but plan to replace the stock battery with the pc680. From what I hear, the battery will crank the engine w/o any problems. But you shouldn't use your radio or lights on when the engine isn't running or else it will drain the battery. Also if you have a sound system, I wouldn't recommend it.

this hawker genesis is the same exact battery as the odyssey battery.
