don't know about the size interchange but #2 is the only one that shows the needed CCA (calls for 310 in the ad.). the more CCA the better.
Yes, thats the higher CCA I can find
I am trying to decide between these two:
Odyssey:
680 cranking amps for 5 seconds
595 cranking amps for 10 seconds
525 cranking amps for 20 seconds
Short circuit current over 1800A
17Ah
25 minute reserve capacity with 25amp load
CCA - 220 (Is this important?)
Female brass terminal w/M6 SS bolt
Yuasa:
12 V, 310 Cold Cranking Amps, Top Post, 6.875 in. Length, 3.437 in. Width, 6.125 in. Height,
I was reading this
http://www.odysseybatteries.com/odyssey101.htm#cca about the CCAs... Thats why I am wondering if the Odyssey would be better?
Cold Cranking Amps: For all the power, durability, and life of our technology, the cca ratings can seem disapointing. That's because the cca ratings are often misunderstood. Odyssey batteries are SLI (starting, lighting and ignition), so if you are looking for a starting or reserve battery the cold cranking numbers can be irrelevant.
The "standard" cca test measures the output of a battery for 30 seconds of crank at 0 degrees with the ending voltage of the battery being 7.2v. Some companies use 15 or 20 seconds and some companies use 32 degrees which can make for better results.
A vehicles starter isn't designed to withstand 30 seconds of cranking so we feel the batteries starting power is more important. The Odyssey part numbers represent the 5 second cranking power of the battery.
The PC680 is rated at 680 amps for 5 seconds, 595 amps for 10 seconds, and 525 amps for 20 seconds. Cranking power is even higher for the first four seconds. Similar sized lead acid batteries are only rated at 180 - 220 amps.
Thanks for your inputs, I need to make up my mind and order soon, I am going home for R&R in 10 days and I want to have it there when I arrive... plug & ride
(my old HD battery is dead!!!)
