OK, so we are about to rejoin the car with it's motor and fire her up for the first time ever with the 2.0+. Time has come to buy a battery. Like the Odyessey PC680MJT cause its small and only weighs 15.4 lbs. Thats 25 lbs less than the Optima. But how the heck do you secure it in place. Anyone installed one? How did you secure it? The factory clamp seems awfully weak for this battery. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) The reason being there is no real pad at the bottom of this battery.

In the August issue of Excellence Magazine (just out) there is an article about installing the Odyssey battery in a 944. They have some pretty neat brackets to mount it in the 944 battery tray. They claim a weight reduction of 22 pounds...with the actual weight of the battery ar 13.5 pounds. I was so impressed with the article, that I would like to buy one for my car.
Where did you get yours? |
