25 min at 25amps according to the website.

It's more space than weight savings, thats what lexan and busted CF hoods for cheap are for.

I want something small I can fit in the bay and route some decent charge pipes around, never again will I trunk mount a battery.

At $20-25 per, just run two of the lawn tractor/motorcycle batteries in sweet sheet metal boxes pop riveted down low to the frame rail. Seriously, ---- the dumb ----, Oddessy's are stupid expensive.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking if I can find em cheap enough locally.

yeah i use to work at a shitty autoparts store, we would test batteries out in the cars all the time... i had an Accord (2.2 90-93) that showed like 120CCA, i didnt think it would start. gives like a ever so slight hesitation and cranks over...

but you do need to allow for a little charge to come off the battery when sitting. like from your alarm, dome light, whatever... i would want at least 250CCA...

Your average group 24 battery box - $10 at just about any auto parts store.

I think I might be sealing mine up with cheap supplies from lowes, then running a vent tube. Not like the optima red top needs it sitting in the trunk of my sedan.
