SOLD

WTS: 1 Odyssey lightweight battery with terminal posts and aluminum mounting brackets (just needs to be drilled or riveted in). Installed in the car for roughly 6 months, always worked great- no issues. Saves 25 pounds versus the stock battery. $50 shipped, payment via paypal (+4%) or MOs, please contact me via PM with questions, pics available for serious buyers. Reson for selling is I'm parting out the car before it is sold. Thanks!

 

$50? WOW, thats a steal!

 

Exactly...that is why you should get it!

 

If i didnt have my stereo i would. It would be dead at the first stoplight i come to!

 

I think this thing would suprise you - I run the radio while I clean the car...no issues...anyway, thanks for the bump

 

GOD! No one has bought this yet?

Doesnt the mount alone run about 40 bucks?

 

I'm thinking the same thing....Come on guys, 25 pounds lighter for $50- shipped!

 

Are there any issues at all with the size of the energy reservoir [amp hours]? How does this compare to the Braille lightweight battery? I'd like to lose essentially no perceivable day-to-day functionality in my car, but would love to buy this battery. Thanks!

I have used it in my car for 6 months, my car is driven daily and I've never had any issues- the thread will verify this. Let me know if you have questions, check the second page of the thread for a pic of my install. I belive this is the same as the Braille with a different sticker on it (different name), again please look at the thread and it should answer your questions, PM me if you have more questions.

 

if only i could... but... id kill it after about 1 min...

Nice image, but do you have a link to the thread?

I also have one of these batteries but i have yet to install it due to time constraints. Also i haven't installed it because for the first few months i wanted to have a jump starter to carry around just incase i found myself with a dead battery. I don't have a crazy stereo, just stock and my car is mostly bare for autocrossing. But i was still worried if it would do ok for everyday driving. And there hasn't been much response to other threads i've seen before on this battery so i was just waiting to be safer than sorry.

 

1) It and the Oddesy are different.
2) TonyB ran with the Oddesy and the Braille.
3) The only time I had any issue is when I was working in my driveway for long periods with the car ON (and I have a PLX wideband that draws a lot of current.)

Day to day, this is fine, and I've never had any issues with not starting.

TonyB was chasing down some leakage problem in his car. Don't know the outcome....

But if you're running stock, it's a great way to drop some weight. I think it would be excellent for Cooper (non-S) cars, as they have the battery in the engine compartment!

I can't wait to put in my 680 and do the oneball, quick way to drop 40lbs! Wrong end of the car of course, but you take what you can get!

 

jeez, I will take it if no one else will! Let me know where to send the $

 

I have the Braille and like the fact it weighs 8 lbs not 30 or 35

 

SOLD! Thanks MP!
