Default just installed odyssey PC925MJT...

stock battery died, ordered this one, didnt have a car for a week. The battery fits *perfect* from front to back. There is no movement at all. I used a single ziptie to prevent side to side movement. Took me all of 20 minutes to swap batteries... that stocker is HEAVY! anywhere i can get money for the factory battery? dont places pay for the core?

Default any place that AW recommends to purchase this? probably going to replace mine this fall

in a pre-emptive attempt (its the OEM battery, so over 5 years old now).

Default I agree, but I have not had a problem since installing it Aug, '05.

My after-run fan kicked on all summer after parking in the garage, even with the stock thermo switch. I can understand getting the larger battery but this lighter one isn't as bad as some say.

Exactly. Not to mention it's much easier to mount.
