CEC new battery advice.
quadra - 19/9/16 at 02:40 PM

The battery on my car has died and I need a new one. Question is, can I use a smaller more modern battery rather than replace it with a normal car battery. I know some of you have used Odyssey PC680 batteries, but would this be man enough to start a 2 litre car engine.

My car has the usual seven type electrical accessories, electric fuel pump, electric fan, normal lights etc.

Cheers Mike

PC680 would be fine, I've used one on my zetec 2lt before now. I now use a Lithium battery from Furore on here.

I have a powervamp equivalent to the pc680 and it starts my pinto fine.

Excellent, thanks for the replies. Glad to hear that it starts a Pinto ok, as that's what I have, sort of.

Powervamp PVR22 - 2.0 zetec and plenty of starting power.

That's like me saying I sort of have a YB, because my pinto has a turbo on it lol.
