I put an Odyssey PC925 in my car years ago. I got a little over 12 years out of it with a lot of abuse such as fully discharging it a number of times from forgetting the lights on and what naught. Obviously that is longer then what they tell you to expect out of a battery and it performed very well. I replaced it with another PC925 because it was exactly what fit the bill.

A lot of people go for the PC680 because it is only 15.5 pounds. I just personally felt that I wanted the extra reserve. At 26 pounds it is no heavy weight but just a good compromise. A normal battery will generally be between 36 and 40 pounds.

A word about the letter code that comes after the number of the Odyssey batteries:
- "M" stands for metal jacketed. Not really needed for our needs but it doesn't hurt.
- "L" stands for the polarity of the terminals being reversed. (on the PC925 you will want the L.)
- "T" stands for "brass terminal posts included". That will save you a step unless you have converted your battery cables to a bolt-on end.
For the 925 I went with the PC925LMJT.
