what are you trying to accomplish and is cost a consideration----FED387

Looking to replace battery in stocker, cost is a consideration, however we all know that cheaper can cost more in the long run

next ? how light is light?? personally I would look at a Braille or ,Deka (you can get DEKA at NAPA) or a Shorai which is a carbon fiber lithium ion battery both of these are 12 volt but you can get 16 volt too ---better get your wallet out if you go with carbon fiber or 16 volt they get pricey real quick

Just updated our Stocker with a Braille B3121 - 755 cranking amps and 21 lbs. We probably could have gone with the 18lb battery, but I'm a worry wart.

This Odyssey battery turns my 13:1 383 with solid roller valve springs.
It has 900 amps for 5 seconds.

Not sure why Jegs is so expensive. It is available at several places.
$147 -- http://www.amazon.com/Odyssey-PC925-.../dp/B0002ILK72

You will need to use metric bolts for the lugs or purchase the additional posts for post style.

Odyssey here as well. Pay attention to the part numbers if you are looking at Jegs or Summit. You do not want the battery with the MJ, it is a metal jacket, and adds weight. As Cad pointed out get the lugs, and the specific charger is a good investment. My first Odyssey lasted 5 years and failed during the off season. Battermart.com is where I have bought mine as they have free shipping and the battery has a 2 year warranty.
