It's hard to directly compare on the numbers, the numbers all mean different things for different battery technologies. The PC680 is pretty much universally fine on this car, though, assuming you're don't have a huge stereo and/or leave anything electrical on with the engine off for extended periods. The little LiFePo4 ones, though, are pretty marginal - fine for a racecar, but probably not a reliable DD option. They struggle in the cold (it does warm itself with each start attempt though, so it usually catches by the 2nd or 3rd try even in near-freezing temps) - and it's easy to destroy them by over-draining them.
