Thanks Carl. It looks like a perfect chance to retire old battery before cold season.

Default Don't throw the old one away

Vlad,

Had a new one go Tango Uniform after only a couple of months. Still had my original - 5 years old. Put it on an Odyssey charger, brought it to peak and installed. It worked fine while I got a replacement from ACS.
Handy to keep the old one around.
Becky says that too but referring to me. Sometimes.

It is a good deal. Glad you're taking advantage.

I just had a 680 die on me with no warning. I was glad and lucky I bought it at batteries plus store. With a call to the Florida store they were able to replace it under 2year warranty in Connecticut on the spot. If you buy thru the Internet verify how the warranty will be handled.

Nothing to get excited about. That's about the going price online. A quick Google search for "PC680" yields a number of other online stores that sell+ship them for about the same.

Carl, someone posted the same info several weeks ago and I bought one also. Battery Mart experience was excellent. Quick shipping. I haven't installed it yet because the one in the plane is working ok. Brought it along on my trip to Ohio just in case.

ps may see you at Triple Tree next week. Flying from Ohio to SC for a Parris Island graduation Tue-Friday. Probably will stay until Saturday and stop at Triple Tree before heading back to Ohio.

Default Hope to see you there Gary!

There's a few Floridians going. We'll have to stake out a territory there. And you Venitians need to let us know next time you're going to CDK. Also want to try to get a group to MTH when the weather calms down in October/November. Grouper always tastes better in the Keys.

My engine cranking has been lagging so it was time for a new Christmas battery. Found the Odyssey PC680 for $89 with free shipping.
