Got to go for another drive today. Very nice until we stopped and tried to restart the car. Seems like the battery was not up to the task. Generator seems to be working as the car started right up with a jump.
I will have the battery checked but I was wondering what recommendations were out there for a new battery. I searched and ran across a thread that suggested the optima 34R. But the specs seem to make it a little tall to use and it is $200. Any other options in a sealed battery with a lower cost? |

QUOTE(KENNY @ Mar 26 2013, 05:01 PM)  Kinda hard to tell if there is lip or ridge at the bottom of battery. But I guess if you had it for 4 years there must be some extra material on the side of the battery for the bracket to hold onto ? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |

QUOTE(KENNY @ Mar 26 2013, 05:01 PM) Tried to start my car after a long hibernation and guess what battery is dead. I need a battery. So the question is still is there an edge to use the stock bracket. did i see a bungee cord wrap around your battery. Can you please confirm if it can be secured with the factory bracket at the bottom of the battery. Thanks in advance Ted |

To my knowledge there is not a lip at the bottom front edge of the PC925. In the picture " kenny " posted I think the stock bracket is only holding the battery from sliding towards the engine, it looks like he has a bungy cord holding it down. Most of the Odyssey , Braille and others like them are NOT a direct bolt in replacement, but their advantages of power, weight and lack of leaking acid outweigh the inconvenience of having to make/purchase an adapter mount.

There is no lip in the battery but the littlle bracket is holding back and down tide . The buggy is just there in case.the bracket is big enough to hold. |
