New Battery

[MidLifeCrisis]

Does the PC680 require any special mounting hardware? I've been leaving the battery on a tender, measuring voltage and it reads 12.5v, but seems to act up, if I happen to try to get a third start from it. Starts in the morning, starts after work, doesn't quite want to, if I stop for gas on the way home, so it really does seem like a weak battery! I blew the fuse on my tender yesterday, so I'm not going to chance riding it anymore, till replaced.

At 12.5v your battery needs to be replaced,.Any thing under 12.7 is Suspect, And needs to be replace before you get stuck somewhere.!

Ref Odssey PC680
Odssey PC680MJ Has a metal jacket for increased heat and vibration resistance

The normal hadware for securing the OEM Battery will hold the Odssey PC680

I went with the PC680MJ and it fits ok on the RT - It is actually slightly smaller than the OEM - And it was harder to get the OEM
Battery out than put the PC68MJ in - I did also use some large zip ties to keep the battery secure in its metal jacket although
It did not need it I was just being extra careful to ensure the battery would not slide out

I also used some small angle brackets on the Battery terminals to ensure the + and - leads were not being stretched

No problems since fitting and also using a battery tender means the Spyder fires up first press of the starter button 9/10
its only hot starts than usually needs a couple of presses (Spyder RT - 2010 Models prone to this)
