To anybody with an Oddysey battery...

I was looking into the Oddysey PC680MJT battery. Click here.
Would this battery be powerful enough for my car? I have no audio system. I see it is 680 CCA, but it is really small! And only 15 pounds!

Also, for those who do have this, where did you mount it?

I just got the Hawker Genesis one myself but people I talked to who had the Odessey said it was fine even in cold weather. Heck, the CCA is twice the stock rating.

i have the mighty odyessy PC680MJT, it is more than powerful , no problem in the cold, i love this little thing. i also have no radio at the moment.

the only thing that is required is that your terminals are super clean. i went to a car stereo shop and bought some new ones.

also the battery is so small i would get the hold down they sale. i had mine just sitting in the car with stock hold down and it looked retarded ha !

if your watching your weight, this will do the trick. my stock nissan battery was 35 pounds, my odyessy is 15. that was 20 lbs off the car.

I was hoping you would reply Caesar, I knew you had one. It looks like the battery I'm getting then. With this 20lb lighter battery, me losing 20 lbs, and and a lighter flywheel, maybe I will amount to something this summer.

Where did you get yours? Any pictures of the battery in the engine bay? I'd like to see where you mounted the mounting plate with the battery.

This was a prefitting (1 of 2 680MJTs in parallel) for my AWIC setup (not yet done)...
It fits perfectly in the tray in this orientation (widthwise)

The optional bracket doesn't really "fit" unless you want to relocate...
You would probably need to fabricate a bracket to secure it down if you lay it down flat.
