New Battery

The Oily Bits S2 Specific Topics
1

Hi Guys,

Need to get a new battery for my Exige as my std one is knackered now. Odyssey seem to be the way to go, ideally want one that will be good in the cold weather as the car is generally used at weekends only, whilst making the most of the weigh saving. I have got a trickle charger so can always stick that on if required, do they hold their power well.

Can anyone recommend a specific model??

Thanks

Paul

I am sure there will be a flood of reponses. I believe the Lotus one is made by Odessey

Sean,

Is that the Odyssey 25?

And whats the cost if you can you fit it whilst I wait please? (and have a good gander at your place?!!)

Cheers,

Pete. :slight_smile:

I will get John to give you a shout mate.

Hi Sean, what battery model is that one?? I assume it is the one used in the cup??

Where abouts are you guys based??

7

They are based in Dudley.

8

Yes it is the small one used in the Cup.

And as Ade has said we are in Dudley just off J2 of the M5

Its an Odessey PC680. Its about the same height/width as the OE wet battery is wide/long, so fits in the same position.

We can also get a 3mm ally cage to fit around it for �20 plus VAT and proper battery posts rather than bolt on terminals for �20 plus VAT.

Big thx from me to JSR. :slight_smile:

Went up yesterday and like a very well oiled machine, they fitted my TRD, fitted my Tubular and fitted the Odyssey Battery!

TOP job and very impressed with the result.

Many thx to John and Wayne. :slight_smile:

Got an Odyssey and the screw in terminals sorted. I assume that the leads just clamp down under the screw in terminals?? or is a special threaded adaptor required to go into the thread on top of the terminal??

Thanks Paul
