Mini batteries are great until you have to start the car.

Yeah, after 5-6 mini batteries, I'll never do that again. The small Honda ones don't work too bad.

I've had no issues with mine in about a year. It's rated at 200 CCW, and to be honest, has stated my car with a lot more authority than my 660 CCW batter did when it was rear mounted.

But I also don't have subs...

Well the fact mine was completely drained and it's over 10 yrs old means that it needed replacing.

This was cheap enough and allows enough engine room I'll give it a whirl.

No pics, but I did get that small battery installed along with my new cap and intake manifold, only to have the intake manifold gasket be all kinds of blown.

BLT couldn't even get above 20psi without working the compressor like a bitch. womp womp.

Hopefully today I'll get some time to grab a new one and snap some pics.

What battery is that? I'm going to be installing one in the Lexus this winter and was gunna just run a fleet farm lawn mower battery, but still considering all options.

Those fit car terminals? Are they cheap?

It's what I ran in my talon for several years. I'd replace it every year with a new one, but they were only $20 after core so not a big deal really. 275ca/230cca and never really had an issue with it not cranking it over, however I rarely started it in the winter so not sure how great it'd start a car on a cold January morning.

Been several years since I used one so hoping they still have the same ones. Usually Fleet Farm and Walmart would have them.


Edit:
Pretty sure this is the one I ran. Looks like it's available at several stores locally. Just need to buy the terminal adapters to make them posts.
