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.

I bought a custom oddessey battery holder on ebay. Not that expensive really and looks really nice.
Here is one I haven't seen. Really cheap also. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Odyssey-PC6...1QQcmdZViewItem This is the same one I have http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Odyssey-PC6...1QQcmdZViewItem (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/post-5505-1151450022.jpg) |
