Battery Question

[clatla]

My question is more about brand than weight savings. I have a 09' MTX that I think the battery is getting weak on. I want to replace it with something that is going to crank the sled over on those -20 F mornings and maybe give me a little weight savings. I cannot justify spending close to $300 on a battery to save 10 lbs. I have been looking at the Odessey batts and they seem to be pretty reputable. From what I have found in older posts was that the PC545 seems to be the replacement of choice. The site recomends the PC680. Wondering what you guys are running.

I love the Odessey batterys.... Run them in both my Big Bore 4 wheelers and my Super Charged Apex.

What size are you running in your Apex? Also have you ever had an issue with the cold morning starts?

Never had a problem with cold morning starts. Cool thing is they are sealed and can be mounted in any direction. Mine is a PC545

Another question is they list a PC545 & PC545MJ. The MJ is for Metal Jacket. The other is plastic. It says the Metal Jacket is needed if around heat so the case doesnt expand. Your thoughts?

Never used the MJ on any of my other unit.. Its on a sled... its winter. My others are on ATVs next to the hot pipe in the summer... I wouldnt worry about the MJ... but thats just my thoughts.
