  • Odyssey Battery in Polo

    Does any one have experience with Odyssey batteries (or similar compact batteries)? I was thinking of replacing the standard one with a PC680 (picture below). I dont know if this battery is suitable for the needs of a Polo. I have no plans to run a system so I dont need anything heavy duty. Here are the specs for the battery:

    * 680 cranking amps for 5 seconds
    * 595 cranking amps for 10 seconds
    * 525 cranking amps for 20 seconds
    * Short circuit current over 1800A
    * 17Ah
    * 25 minute reserve capacity with 25amp load
    * CCA - 220 (Is this important?)
    * Female brass terminal w/M6 SS bolt




    I want to make some more room in the engine bay of the Polo for a CAI. I thought if I get a smaller battery then I can run a CAI to go under the headlight similar to the one in the picture below. I realise that the windscreen washer bottle is in the way but I am quite happy to get a smaller bottle and relocate it elsewhere in the engine bay.

      Looking at Neil's setup and asking a few questions, I've also found the Pulse hi-po batteries. PHB400 model is similar spec to the Odyssey and seems to be bout $100 cheaper, I just quickly rang Autobarn and they sell the Pulse for $220.

      Just found these:
      Pulse PHB400 $205
      Odyssey PC680 $315
