Default Odyssey Batteries - Which one for a Blob STI?

Been doing a bit of a search on this and many are saying the PC680 battery is the one to get, but the CCA of 220 looks pretty feeble to me. Is the PC925 a better bet? It's a fair whack more expensive.

Is it worth it?

A lightweight race battery is definitely what I'm after though.

All just regular audio. It will never be more than that.

I've pretty much decided to just get a Bosch S5 now due to worries about the race batteries not being great at holding charge if left stood.

In all honesty mate there not to bad on a daily driver as they will be always on the charge as the car will be driven,but on a weekend car or a car left without being used and no charger like a {Ctek} etc... or a electric cut off fitted they will run down flat in a few days not used with the alarm/tracker running.SJ.

Yeah it isn't used much to be honest as we use the other one as the daily.

I would just stick with a standard size battery in that case,they maybe heavy but you get a decent amount of charge in them.SJ.
