Any new info on Power Sonic batteries?
I was doing a little research on aftermarket batteries and came across the Power Sonic battery. It's weight and price looks very appetizing. I do not know anything about battery specs. So I ask the following questions.
1) Is there enough cca to start the car in 30F weather?
2) Is there enough power to power accessories (alarm, pw, etc.) with the car off?
3) Does it fit the stock tray w/o modification?
4) Possible to order it with post-type terminals like stock?

Re: Any new info on Power Sonic batteries? (sutats)
EDIT - Just saw some pricing from Baker Precision.
PC680 - $148.00
PC925 - $172.95
At that price, I could look at the Dyna-Batt or even Spoon for a few dollars more. So back to Power Sonic...
[BeforeEdit]
Which Odyssey battery suits out needs? On the other post [ https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=110801&page=2 ] there was a bit of discussion as to which Odyssey battery suits out needs. I.E. the PC680 or the PC925.
Anyways, here is a link to those that understand battery specs.

Re: Any new info on Power Sonic batteries? (rolow)
I would have to rule out Spoon due to its price. Basically, my budget is +-$20 from the cost of the OEM battery. If the Power Sonic fits the bill, that will be my choice. Otherwise the OEM battey is my fallback.
Perhaps I will be the ginea pig and purchase it and report back to those interested.
