Hawker - Odyssey Lightweight Battery
Anybody interested in a lightweight racing battery? This thing weighs in below 14 lbs!, Im not quite sure how much the stock subaru battery weighs, but Im pretty sure its 35-40 lbs?? Its called the PC-680 by Hawker/Odyssey a dry cell unit that has 680 Cranking Amps! Im looking for 5 people so we can split the S/H charges! Anyone interested....send me a PM. It sells for $86 @ piece + S/H

shipping is expensive ....for 1 battery it costs $48, for 2 its $78.50...for 5 its 175.15 for 2nd day air. Actually, it looks like we can save a measely $13 a piece if 5 of us ordered one! I wonder how long ground shipping takes...there was an option for it. that costs $135.xx for 5 batteries which would save us like $21 each from shipping. Its from Battery Mart

JT-STI: i can help with the shipping. i can arrange to boat it in.
see if you can gather this information:
- the shipping size (LxWxH)
- Shipping weight
- how much UPS or FEDEX ground would be to "Rancho Dominguez, CA 90220"
if you get it pm me as i don't scour through the forum for messages.

Odyssey batteries are the best out there. They cost more than Optima but have an awesome reputation. You may want to check with Island Sound, they were the only local reseller for a long time (there may be others now)....and see what kind of price you can get with 5 guys. I've been considering the 925 or 1200. If there's interest I can make arrangements with them....they have limited hours until the new shop is built.
pm me with the info and where i can pay you 
thanks

Well these prices you guy found are cheap. I have seen light weight batteries for $300+. Optimal makes a 1/2 weight battery that is 17lbs. They have it in both red and yellow tops. I think it is officially for civics or something like that, but either way it is half the weight and is much more powerful than the other light batteries.

is the one i got in my sti. works perfectly fine. specs were supposed to kill the hawker/odyessy 680. it was about 150 for batt AND mounting hardware for the sti. got it from kingofimports a while ago. fits awesome and looks tiny.
i just got a 680 for my civic though, so i'll see how that goes. should be enough.
