Got a new light weight battery the other day . I had to make a mounting system for it. Saved about 30 lbs. So far no issues. Also the car runs much better after disconnecting the battery.

 

What brand? I'll be interested to see if you have to keep a battery maintainer on it.

 

its an odyssey pc680mjt. in the driving season i drive at least once a week. it should be ok.

Hey thats a cool set-up and weight reduction...Hope you let us know how that works in cold weather.......

 

I will chime in with updates. I put a set of headers on last night, so far I would say they spool faster and have more flow.

 

some other pictures

 

The small track battery has been worked fine, no issues

 

Do you drive your car during winter? That will be the big test.

 

No winter driving .. Summer car only.

 

Do you use a battery maintainer?

 

yes defianatly. i have a bunch of cars and i have a bunch of trickle charges. the 928 does not get driven that much so its allways on trickle.

 

So the maintainer works with the Odyssey OK? Is it a lithium ion battery?

 

I used the Odyssey 680 for 4 years on my 996TT. It works great in "cold" California weather. I only had problems when I did not plug it in to a charger/maintainer. It was good for 2 weeks unplugged. It is not a Lithium battery It's a AGM battery, so they don't go bad if it dies like a lead acid.

Be careful not to leave your doors, hood and trunk lid open a for an extended period...
