Its funny this topic would come up now.  Just last week I ordered a new Odyssey 680 battery after my LC-X1220P Panasonic SLAB battery died an early death, due to me flogging it routinely.  I decided to try the Odyssey after reading comments from so many happy customers.  It should arrive today.  Let the flogging begin.

The PC 680s are the same battery, but there are Metal-Jacketed ones for the motorcycle crowd which you don't need for your aircraft.  They also cost a bit more.  The usually have the code MJ or M after the PC 680.  So you might want to check which model you are getting.

Dave,

 

ebay has the Odysey battery for about $66 delivered ($52.99+$13 S&H).

 

Search for "PC-680" 

 

I believe all PC-680's are the same although they advertise them for Harleys, BMWs, and other vehicles.

Perfect, Thanks Tommy.  I just found my next (and probably all subsequent) battery.

Dave, from the web site:

Superior cranking and fast charge capability

The 5 second cranking power of ODYSSEY® batteries is double to triple that of equally sized conventional batteries, even when the temperature is as low as - 40°C. Also, with simple constant voltage charging (alternator or independent charger), there is no limitation on the inrush current, so the user is assured of a fast charge.
