[http://www.brailleauto.com/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=2](http://www.brailleauto.com/productcart/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=2) I am thinking about getting an 11# one or maybe even the 6# After researching it they sound like they work well unless your running alot of stereo shit (in which case I wouldnt think weight would be an issue) ---

I have a PC680 and its fine when its over 30-40out. Got it form [batterymart.com](http://batterymart.com) for like $89 there something like $99 now. Last winter when I was SI after sitting a month I’d have to put a jumper box on it. Its was fine once it warm out and all year, even with the cam now. And when I was running a about 12.3:1 CR setup with big cam. edit > **[Odyssey PC680 Battery](https://www.batterymart.com/p-odyssey-pc680-battery.html)** > > Check out the deal on Odyssey PC680 Battery at BatteryMart.com damn $121… you can get them with a metal liner to if you if its gona be near heat.

PC680 here also. Stock location, made a small aluminum bracket to hold it down. Way easier to pass tech inspection, than having a sealed box in the trunk. ---

Go to car quest and buy a Deka battery, they are the ones that make the braille batteries. the ex14 is the smaller one and I had the ex20 the “all season lightweight” it weighs about 15lbs. here was my ex20 installed: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/jeller/Evo%20VIII/DekaBattery.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v114/jeller/Evo%20VIII/DekaBattery.jpg) the ex20 is a bit bigger, so watch the battery tray sizes if you buy one.
