I was doing a quick search, and decided to make this thread. I'm not looking to relocate my battery when I go turbo and install a FMIC setup...so I'd like to have a battery that is small in size, but good in power (don't have a crazy sound system).

I read that some people are using a battery from a Miata, and I also read about Odyssey batteries. I'm thinking about getting the PC925T battery, link here: http://www.portablepower.com/items/batteries/SLA/1/Hawker%20Odyssey/PC925T/0765-2020/SL107/37L107S6

I was curious....what kind of battery are any of you using? Any suggestions or what I'm looking at a good choice?

TIA

Im using a lawn & garden battery. It fits pretty well, but if it gets really cold out and the car sits for a few days it will need a jump :-/

Cashizslick - The issues your experiencing are the reasons why I opted out of using the lawn battery. It gets cold during winter (even now during summer) and its not easy to find a jump at times.

whats the actual dimensions of that odyssey battery? i would download that spec sheet but its not working :hs:

Buddy Club makes some pretty nice small batteries.

You could use the odyssey iirc, it should have better cranking/cold cranking amps compared to the miata. That's what I'd be worried most about.
