Odyssey model # PC 680 can be found on ebay for $90 shipped and it weighs 14.5lb's. Its quite a bad ass little dry cell.

Wal mart sells a lawn mower battery for like $23 that works just fine Part # U1R Now the mounts for the cables look nothing like conventional battery mounts, they look like a tab sticking up with a hole through the center, take your 10mm nut and bolt apart that are currently being used in your factory battery cables and spread the end apart enough to fit it over the tab on the battery, then run the bolt through the cable end and the hole in the tab and tighten down. Ive used it many times and never had a problem. BTW if you dont bring a bad battery to them as a core they will charge you like $5

Good luck.

No need for battery...in the front that is. I find it cheaper to relocate the battery to the back.

with the smaller batteries can you still run the radio? I've heard when you use some of the smaller batteries, you cant use your accsories because itll kill it.

i've had a garden tractor battery from lowes in since the day i installed my engine. only 350cca's and it still starts after half a crank on a 2 degree day after not being driven for two weeks. oh and i have a JL 300/1 or something like that amp and i bump all day long with no ill effects, lights don't even dim at night (no cap)
