Odyssey PC680. Got a cheap but perfect bracket and 8" J hooks at local auto parts store.

nope...you can get the parts (j-hooks and a plastic battery bracket) at any auto parts store
I think I did a short write-up around mid-July (a search for odyssey 680 should find it). the install is pretty straightforward.

I'm running the 11.35# DEKA and it works fine. The car can only sit for about 2 weeks
before the battery is fully drained. The loss of the battery (stock audi) and battery case was a net of 30#. The battery does fine for track use and maybe daily use, but does not tolerate sitting well. I've got the stock back in for the winter, I'll switch back again before Roebling in March.
