Stinger 12v 450pca Battery...

[xanavinismo]

Hi all,

Has anyone ever used the Stinger 12V 450PCA Battery in their GT-R? Apparently they are a good alternative for the Odyssey PC680 in terms of size and performance and their also a lot cheaper! Weight is 7kg... similar to the PC680? So im heading towards one of these...

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Glen

Stinger are rebadged batteries,and very similar to odessy, minus the steel cases

the 680cca is a lot more power in real world then the 450cca, peak current is nearly 1200amps ...I had a pc1200 in my car which failed , had a faulty grid inside it after a few months, but it was a grey ,market import, no warranty from odessy so beware , make sure you get the right OZ bar code to get warranty on it if needed. but normally these batteries dont fail for a long time and take a beating

I also recommend the spiral cell from gates/Optima, had one for 11 years and it never failed, even in snow , high power tunes, rotary race car vibrations etc.

if you need a decent battery all of these would be great improvements on normal ones. but if you run a huge stereo they become nearly madatory imo

if your after a small one just to save space then the stinger would be fine. watch out for 16v models, you would need to change some stuff to run one of those

Thanks for your info sapphiregraphics!

Yeah I dont plan on using any sort of big stereo systems so the 450cca should be fine for my application as opposed to the 680cca? Also, does a steel case make a big difference?
