concur with oldmansan (Odyssey PC680s rock!)
and @ 101.16 shipped USPS Priority! it's a very tuff deal to pass up ($93.06 + 8.10) INCLUDING TO HAWAII! (and it includes the 'automotive terminals' too)

I'll be buying 2 of these very soon

Cody, can you post up where you see that?
This is the same battery setup I quoted on ebay, listed on portablepower.com:
http://www.portablepower.com/items/b...SL105/37L105S6
this link shows $99.95 + 43.66 UPS Ground to Hawaii (96707) = 143.61
in any case.. a good deal.

I didn't know that there were DIY vids there. Good to know.
BTW, if you want to mount this battery in the stock location, all you'll need is 2 replacement mounting posts (the long threaded rod with the hook at the end) that are ~3" shorter from your local autoparts store. The Odyssey battery is shorter than the stock battery and the threads on the stock mounting posts won't allow you to tighten down the bracket far enough...unless you add a cardboard spacer, which looks like crap but is free...
The shorter posts were like $3 and came with wingnuts to replace the stock hex nuts. It looks pretty funny having a tiny battery where the stocker goes. People sometimes ask me why I have a "motorcycle" battery.
I've also seen people mount them under the passenger seat or in the trunk for better weight distribution. This type of battery can be mounted sideways or even upside down without issue.
