I might just get a stock replacement.... the weight will be over the back wheels anyway...

If you are only going to run one, get the 1200...

I have two 925's and they work awesome.. I can listen to my 8000 watt stereo for more than two hours and still cranks fast when I go to start it..


I had the 1200 in my lightning.. it was a good battery.

my shop has had horrible luck with optimas.. they fail within a year..

odysseys' warranty is nice too

I have gone through 4 optima's. My warranty is out now, so this will be my last one.

see... lol...

The 1200 is still very small and will definately fit in a battery box.. they also come in their own little sleeve to mount them in, which is how they are mounted underneath my back seat..

I went through 3 and my warranty is now up too. I guess it's time for an Odyssey. What does that 1200 run turbogt?
