The little lightweight PC680 was happy to do the job in 2008, but this year I'm going to run an Optima with more than double the cranking power.
entry 839 - tags: battery | | |  | April 17, 2014 - One thing I've noticed recently is that the Optima battery is starting to struggle a bit.
Now, we found a very high failure rate on Optimas when we were using them at FM at the time this one was installed. I've been lucky so far, but I decided to replace it proactively with an Odyssey. I ran an Odyssey PC680 in the car when it was a four cylinder and it was a great little unit. This PC925 is a bit beefier for the big engine, but it will drop some weight and will ease my concerns about reliability.
