Heck yeah! I have one in my car right now but it's three seasons old. It sure wouldn't hurt to put a fresh one on the shelf.

For the record, these batteries are capable of turning over my stroker and powering my electronics & fuel pump without any worries, even at wide-open throttle and 85% injector duty cycle. I kept the battery cables short and made sure the ground wires were rock solid. All up, a fourteen pound solution.

Why strap fourteen pounds of battery cable and a cutoff switch into your car, just so you can stick your 41 pound optima in the back ? Run one of these in the stock battery location and skip on all that mass.

Season # 4 and mine's still working great.

I am having to trickle charge it after the car sits for more than ten days in order to keep the FAST XFI happy, though. So the battery is indeed aging. I'll probably get a new one some time in April '08, after the winter.

I want to get one in the spring, probably April. I can't really do it sooner because......It's a family budget thing. Only cash purchases are allowed, and only when the cash for car mods hasn't already been spent (on car mods.) I'm back to $100 a month for a while.

I'm in if the price is good.

What about the PC625? It would require top-side post converters, but weighs 2lbs less and retails for $35 less.

Where have you seen those for $35? Most of them are going for $85+

I can ship the PC680MJT to folks for $140 (shipped).

This battery comes with the post needed to install it in the GM platform with stock bolts. Several other options out there you have to change the ends on the cables or buy other parts to make them work. But I can price any other style if you need me to.
