Electrical Failure

Yesterday I discovered "Battery Box Sizes". Being a second owner and not very inclined to change out battery boxes I feel locked into Earth X Battery box size "E". So, If I stay with EarthX then the most reasonable battery for me is either the ETX680 79MM. (I have no idea what the "79MM" means) or the ETX680 76MM. They are the same size as the ETX900 but have less cranking amps. I take it that is not a deal breaker for the AeroVee 2.0. Is there an AGM battery out there that shares the same dimensions as the EarthX ETX900? Probably not.

Hi Art

I’m using a Shorai LiFePo….(?) battery intended for motorsports. Super light and small, wide selection of power, multiple case and terminal arrangements. I actually have two. See above for discount code.

Oh, and they come with a large amount of high quality dense foam of various thicknesses to get it fitted. Give me a shout if you are interested and have questions.

So, if my battery box will accept it, I may buy an Odyssey PC680 AGM. $155 vs $699 for the EarthX.

The EarthX ETX680 is $379 at ACS.

I'm still an EarthX fan. Weight is the enemy.

Me too! I also have a small 1.3ah AGM backup battery. They are $15 and 1lb, I just replace it at every Condition inspection. No dig on Odyssey I just prefer the weight savings and the redundancy
