optima makes a battery replacement for a civic, whihc happens to use a very small battery, check into that.

I missed your asking about odyssey. I use one, the 680 model. weighs about 15 lbs and is roughly 1/3 a normal battery and the same height as an optima red top.

It works very very well for being so small. But realize that if your car is NOT a daily driver you will need to keep a charger on it of some type or it will go dead after a few weeks especially if its cold. That being said after about 10 days of not driving my car in 30*F weather it has never left me with not enough power to start; it's close sometimes though.

I mounted an Optima Yellow in the back of mine and it's been brilliant even after sitting for months at a time!

I can usually read your stuff, Nash, but I had a bit of trouble this time. I got it though, bud!


in case anyone was wondering what he said.
"Battery in the back, better that way anyway"
