small battery = small power

If my car was a pure racecar an I had a way to jumpstart it everytime if needed, I'd run an odyssey...

I run an optima for the simple reason of not wanting a leaking battery

sort of true.

there are plenty of small batteries that can be used in DD conditions. the 680 is one, though it won't do so well in cold climates. there are plenty of local guys (i.e. here in MI, i.e. semi-cold winters) that run this battery:

in their year round DD cars....w/o issues.

again, choose a battery for YOUR uses....but realize there are always trade-offs....

having my battery strand me once would be enough to rip it out and replace it with something stronger

not knocking people that run them, but I don't want to be stranded...
