Anyone used Shuriken batteries before in car/race car?

They have a 7.5x6.5x3 12v 850 cranking amps battery and they seem to be priced really well.

Im looking at the SK-BT20

im using that same battery in my little EF now. i went from a full sized in the rear to the little shurikan under the hood, and had my fastest time with it so far

 

i just ordered one but hasn't got here yet so i'm not much help lol

 

lithium is the way to go with power master though

 

Its probably because Ninjas promote them.

 

Been using one in my EF K-series for two years now. Does the trick nicely!

 

ive got one in my car it works great

 

ninja!

 

I asked this same question awhile back in a thread that was already started about batteries. Didnt get an answer, that I can remember.

 

What do yo do about running terminals...just make some adapters?

 

ring terminals

Got 1 in the S2000, it works great.

 

Glad to hear positive things about this battery. I may end up using one

 

the pc680 is a little smaller than the shuriken so it might not fit in the pc680 bracket....are you talking about the one from password? maybe they make it slightly larger than the battery ?

You could get this and cut it and space it to make it fit the shuriken.

So you guys think this battery would hold up to daily use with a K swapped EG?

I have used a lawnmower battery that never once gave me problems in a different setup. My battery has started leaking acid and it is eating up my battery hold-down. I need to get something different because it continues to do it.

 

I dont see why it wouldt work. I been searching around for a cheap light battery and it looks like I may be using this one! Thanks for the idea

 

Yeah thats the one im talking about, All though you mit be right cut it in half to space it so it fits i think its slighty long battery but same thickness? i may be wrong

 

thanks for this thread. Just ordered one. 61.90 with free shipping.

 

Edit, nvm.

 

Do you need to do anything special with these batteries when you run them? Like trickle charge them while the car sits? Or do they just run like a stock battery?

 

Like a normal battery...

Any battery that is going to sit in a non running car for a while should be trickled or disconnected or both.

 

Cool thanks

 

You can buy the SAE terminals just like the OEM ones separately. Spoolin, to answer your question, Yes this battery rock It only takes me maybe 1 second or less to start a turbo hatch.

 

[quote=PRO1;43183290]Yes it will fit. I have 2 of those battery tray from Odessey and the Shuriken bt20 will fit in there. It's pretty much the same size battery. I have 2 PC 680 Odessey and 1 Shuriken bought at the same time. The reason why I bought 3 brand new battery? Here's what happened: Other shop that was working on this car before I got it, wired the fuel pump straight to the fuse box and the pump was draining the battery bone dry. I would leave the car for maybe 2-3 days w/o starting it and by the time I wanted to start the car, the battery is dead, Dead where you can't even charge it anymore. The cranking amp were so low that putting it on a charger, and the battery just don't want to get charge. I went through 3 brand new batteries before I found out why a brand new battery would become dead in 2-3 days.
So make sure to either disconnect your possitive cable off your battery, or put a cutoff switch. Do this specially if you have the fuel pump wired directly to the fuse box. It may not be the case if your pump is wired like stock. I hope this help some of you guys. By the way, I bought my Shuriken battery from Sonicelectronix.com for $69.99 and they offer 3 year replacement warranty for like $7.00 and I jump on that. Now, the battery that I bought from them I returned it and they gave me a brand new one.
