There has been an interesting discussion of cheap PC-680 batteries
(Oddessy knockoffs) on another list. The cost is less than $30. I'm
not sure I want to run one in my airplane, but my Jeep needs a new
battery. I'm considering wiring two of these cheap PC-680s in
parallel and using them to replace the Sears lead acid auto battery
in the Jeep. The result should be as potent as the Sears Battery for
less money, take up less space, and avoid the cable corrosion problem
that has plagued my Jeep ever since I bought it. Is there anything
wrong with this idea?

I used to get RG batteries from B&C that had been
cosmetically damaged in shipment that were paid
for by the shipper's insurance. I've run a variety
of RG batteries in my vehicles with great success.

I have an actual Oddessy 680 in my '94 Camaro track day/street play car. It
starts up an 11.4:1 compression 395 cubic inch V8 just fine. When I get the
RV-8 finished , I'll annually put a new one in the plane, move that one to
the car, and I guess save up the one out of the car for ????
