914World.com _ 914World Garage _ The little battery that could

Posted by: Rand Jun 20 2012, 12:09 AM

Car wouldn't crank tonight. Put the charger on it for a while, still no crank, got impatient....

The new battery going in is the mighty little Odyssey PC680... Thought I'd jump it. BAM! Instant crank.

Guess I better get that rusto work done and give this little girl a solid home.

Just thought I'd share the pic because it looked funny to see jumper cables on the dinky battery that cranked the dead car to life with vigor.

Yep, I ran batteries from computer UPS in my plane. Started the 0-320 fine. Light, cheap and you could turn 'em upside down. But when they die they don't give you much warning.
