Well I've currently got an Odyssey battery thats well on its way out and wanted to ask what the best type of battery to use in my S15 with Hybrid intercooler kit is?

And the best place to buy it?

Thanks in advance,

Michael ..

i personally recommend the champion (360cc) .. seems to be holding pretty good & never had any probs with its .. i had for more than 3 months now

and it gives u heaps of space for the fmic piping as well :D

I've had good success with the small Exide batteries at K-Mart. They fit when turned 90° in the battery tray, which leaves room for FMIC piping.

get a D34 Deep Cycle Optima battery.. never replace a battery for the next decade.

Just periodically float charge it.. all good.
