Icon5 Light weight battery recommendation

I picked up a Oddssey PC680 since that was the standard battery people ran. I personally have had great luck in the past with this battery. After a little over a year the battery is already dead.

Amazon reviews are saying that you are lucky to get a year out of PC680's now days...

I need the battery in front of the firewall, OEM location is now intercooler piping.

Suggestions?

Solved this issue.

Please close.

P.s. All the shops I called that sell Oddssey PC680's said they are having the same issue. Less than a year life on the batteries.

How did you solve it?

I was hoping there would be a few replies here, I've found a lot of conflicting info and wanted to get some insights.

I did find a solution.

Called up James the Ktuned ITR TA driver, he said they have been running ATX20 batteries for a while.

A little more expensive but weighs 4 pounds, drain protection, LI

I have no idea - I guess you just do rock-paper-scissors and hope for the best. That's truly bizarre.

I had an odyssey die in about a year, and they replaced it for free....

Look at the third pic on their site; the colored indications under the "ANTIGRAVITY" are the opposite of the indications at the posts.

That is very odd, not sure if it's part of their logo, but confusion is understandable.

guys, its just a poorly photoshopped decal. but its hosted on their site. a mistake and i'm sure whatever they ship is going to be labelled properly, and easily checked.

it was just a joke, kinda concerning, but still not serious.

Ok, you put one in your CRX first, Tyson. It's a Y49 anyway.

You guy's seen the @Hasport
@hush22 PC680 bracket? It mounts inside the fender well.



Speedfactory Racing sells the XS D680 with a bit higher amperage.

Does anybody weigh their cars and know the best place to place the battery to balance the weight?

This is the best EF battery bracket I came across. I would run it if it wasn't for my FMIC piping being in the way.
