I picked up a ES12V650 Odyssey Battery yesterday.

For reference (I didn't buy it from here):

It's also known as the PC680.

They are nice and skinny, but are as heavy as a regular battery. 8 year service life.

$170 inc GST.

Just for your reference really.

Cheers,
Chris

I've got one in my XR2 convertible (the 800 model) and I sewar by them... heaps smaller, tons of power... and then there is the longevity of them !!!!

Where did you buy it from???? Any clues???

To tell you the truth..I don't know.

I had an old mate (80 year old trucking business fella) call his battery supplier and this is the price they gave him. He tried to talk him down some more, but that was their best price. I know some of the aftermarket shops charge over $220. Just letting you guys know the "fair price" so you don't get ripped off if you go down this route.

I'm pretty sure most auto parts stored have access to them.. Also Battery World (I believe they are a national chain) carries them.
