I bought mine from batteries plus for $76+ tax.

eBay Motors: ODYSSEY PC680 BATTERY HOLD TIE DOWN CASE BOX TRAY (item 370131658626 end time Dec-21-08 21:10:00 PST)

2 more options to look into in that same price range. I personally would go with the Braille and its looking like that's the one I'll be using in the battery box that I was telling you about.

However I have used the WestCo battery in DC in the winter months and can say for 100% sure that it never let me down. Even the year we got 18" of snow in one day.

Braille Battery - B14115

WestCo Battery - Motorcycle Batteries and Marine Batteries

If it gets below 10 degrees or so, you may have an issue. If you leave any lights on for any length of time without the engine running, you may have an issue, as well. If it's not for your daily, I'd also consider getting a Battery Tender. Other than that, they work great and contribute to the weight loss plan.

You mean they don't like just having lights on for say 5 minutes? Sometimes headlights are like flash lights haha

5 minutes would be fine. I never had a problem from my old Hawker I got in a group buy years ago until I let my car sit for months and then overcharged it. BTW, the Odyssey batteries come with a one or two year full replacement warranty.

Not on these batteries 5 minutes wont. If you leave your lights on for five minutes itll be hard to start the car back up. Ive been running the PC680 for about a year now.

i have one in my car, had it for two years now and the car has sat through a winter, i put a slow charge on it once a month during the winter though

Oh wow that kinda worries me then... might render some issues with DDness of the car.

What about running the stereo with the car off?
