if you have a battery charger with start assist you can try to cook the battery a little and bring it back to life so long as there is enough electolyte in it i usually like to do 250 amps on 10 seconds off ten seconds a few times then 40 amps for 20-40 minutes and then a 10 amp charge for a couple hours and finish it with a 2 amp overnight. the high amps work to cook the oxidation off the plates, just watch it to make sure it doesn't start boiling or it could explode. If the electrolyte is low then your screwed.

And always remember to store your batteries on something rubber or plastic. Never on something cold or concrete

It's been in the car the entire time disconnected but I guessing since it sat so long it went bad. The battery is 4 years old... Thanks for the help...

Any ideas on a new battery? Maybe a lighter one? I believe the cranking amps is 320.. Anyone running a Odyssey PC680?

Those little batteries are nothing but a hassle in a street car. Make sure you keep jumper cables in the car!

COSMO · 06-28-2014, 04:21 PM

What about this one? Anyone know what the stock battery weighs?

I just replace mine. I got it at Auto Zone, dry cell with a 3 year replacement warranty. I didn't weigh it but it felt about the same and is smaller in size than oem. They get great reviews and you got the love their commercials lol!

I have found that our cars require 490 cca but I found a Braille battery with 475cca that weighs only 17lbs... Anyone running this one??

COSMO · 06-28-2014, 08:20 PM

Went ahead and and just bought a walmart battery with a 5 year warranty. The weight saving isn't worth being stranded with all I have invested in my car..

phunk · 06-28-2014, 09:16 PM

Wise choice... I have limited personal experience with the small odyssey batteries. But that is intentional. I look into them every few years to see if the situation has improved much and when I interview my friends who run them, they like everything about them except how often their battery is dead.

there are some new improvements in the very high end lightweight batteries, mainly the lithium replacements. there are some that are smaller, lighter, and due to the linear output of lithium cells can still start the car even when almost discharged, but at 1500 and up they are cost prohibitive even if they have a 20 year rated life.

COSMO · 06-29-2014, 10:00 PM

As of about 15 min ago the car is ready to be started!!!! I will want to go over everything tomorrow just to make sure everything has been checked before the first startup.. Thinking on videoing it...

COSMO · 06-29-2014, 10:04 PM

Time for Startup!!!

Fountainhead · 06-29-2014, 10:29 PM

Hey I only want to see a video if it cranks and runs OK. Anything else would be too sad.

COSMO · 06-29-2014, 10:58 PM

Come on brotha your killing me here... lol As if I'm not nervous enough....
