battery woes

[markc]

Need a new battery. Yuasa or Odyssey? Looking for the best price.
I have found the 535 or 545 Odyssey at battery mart on the web for $118.00 or $105.00 for the stock Yuasa battery at Iron Pony.
Any thoughts?

Odessey 625. You have to alter the battery box but it is worth the extra oomph you will need in the colder months.

The 625 fit into my R3T without any modification. Its a real tight fit and if I remember correctly one of the cables needed a bit of relocation. The Odyssey holds a charge much better than the stock battery. After sitting for several weeks the battery remains fully charged.

Don't get the 500 series Odessey. I've got one and it is not strong enough and seems to lose charge very quickly. It was an expensive mistake. It fits perfectly, tho :{

PC625 All the way.
The ONLY battery worth buying.

By all accounts the 625 is warranted. I have one but have yet to install it.

Rocky,
it'll fit in the allocated space but it's VERY tight,
and not in a good way.
I ran mine in the stock box for about a year,
then just wanted the extra security of KNOWing
the bottom of the box wasn't cutting into the bottom of the battery,
so I pulled the box out and bent the front lip down.
It was probably unwarrented as the battery showed no damage,
but the piece of mind was worth the time it took.
