Well if you all did not drive on the wrong side of the car that would not be an issue, right? :p

Kidding aside, no real reason they can not make one RHD. Maybe just email them about that?
I know from the coupe track car a battery relocation was just tooo much...this is a much better solution to the whole issue.

Battery is also a great solution for weight savings. Love the little bugger!

I personally like the Deka EXT20L or better known as the Braille B2015.
I like the CCA to Weight Ratio.
Only 15-16lbs while still putting out 300-310 CCA.
That very close to the Honda Fit Battery (151R) weighing in at 22lbs pushing out 320-325 CCA.

Love the Catch Can Tama.
Wish I was that ballin lol.
I'll just make one lol.
 
about odyssey 680 what is the longest period you let you car off and started without any problems?

I have the same battery.
Had it off the car over winter etc for approx 6 months, charged it and put it on a solar trickle charger in my shed over that period,recently put it back on car and cranking/holding charge well.

When storing any battery don't set it directly onto concrete floor or likes, I sat mine on old piece of carpet.
 
I went for an Odyssey battery, got it in April and haven't had any problems yet with it. I've left the car for a good 2-3 weeks without starting it and came to use the car and started first time. I weighed my old Honda battery and the odyssey battery to see the difference and took some pics, here they are.

Was thinking the same thing lol

From my experience of a PC680 I don't really think it's worth the hassle for a road car that you want to be able to rely on, certainly not a car with an alarm anyway. They give good starting power but they really don't hold a lot of charge so little things like accidentally leaving an interior light on can flatten it in a pretty short time.

I've got a Clifford alarm and not had any problem yet
 
No issues for me neither with the PC680, just had to charge it after it got taken out of the car 3 months ago when i started redoing the suspension.

Starts in all types of weather and temperatures.
 
my pc680 battery lasted 4 years on my daily driven had to recharge it once due to my mistake to let cabin light on.
very strong battery !
 
PC680 here also with no problems and run a clifford alarm.

Actually selling the battery as I picked up a new Yuasa battery as the pc680 is a waste on on my car.
