Optima D34 best option?

[Blakeo]

I have a D34 Optima laying down in my R33 atm. It works great, but it is heavy. The reason I bought it was I planned to install thermos and a subwoofer. I still plan on installing these at some stage, however I've come across Odyssey batteries which can fit in the stock hold down and are rated at 330 amps which should be more than enough. 

Anyone using the Odyssey Battery with a high draw electrical system? Would be a weight saving of 15kg.

Odyssey batteries are the same type as optima (AGM) and will weigh about the same for the same capacity. If you want a significantly lighter battery you need to look at Lithium ones

I'm using an odyssey, no high draw though.  I had to sand off the lip on one side of the plastic undertray and I welded up my own battery clamp setup.  But its up to you and what you need.

Mine is a boot mount [like yours is?] so it will fit and work.

Can you show me how you've setup your battery clamp?

Can do, be busy for a couple of days, then I'll take some pics.

Hey did you get a chance to take a photo?

Cheers.

Sorry, forgot all about it.
