Default ??? WTF is going on in this thread? These batteries are not model specific

its a stupid battery. it puts out 12 V and charges at 14.5. As long as you get reversed terminals, the proper posts, and it fits in the space where the massive OEM one was, it'll work.

The PC680 is lighter than the PC925 for a reason. Less CCA. I would NOT recommend the PC680 for cold climates or people who don't drive their S daily.

Default pffftt.........my PC680 started right up after 2 months away (and FIXEDWing's has had no probs)

in cold climates. I think it's fine, even for say Northeast use, but i guess it also depends on your maintenance of it

Default You're in SloCal, no? And FixedWing used a trickle charger

I'm not saying the battery won't be okay. But you shouldn't pretend like it might not be an issue. As with most mods, there are tradeoffs. Buyer beware.
