Too much money for too little power in my opinion. 750cca only lasted 1.5 years in the south where the weather is easy on batteries.

I think the title lists it by vehicle requirement, but here are the actual specs on it.

If you're willing to pay that price and can get these up there, a better choice.





Look at the weight, which is an indication of the amount of plate in the battery.

Southern exposure can be rougher on batteries than cold.

So, 310 bucks for 750 CCA, so what is price each for the 930 CCA ?

They are 930CCA. The title says 750 but the specs are actually 930. I think the title comes from the requirement for the particular vehicle but the 930 spec is correct.

Here's a thread I did when I was looking at the TPPL type batteries -- some good contributions in the thread:

Yes but that's shipping weight and according to the guys on the thread of the link posted, they actually weight somewhere in the 52-54lb range, which is pretty equal to the X2.

Besides me weighing them, the top of the battery on the PC1750 Odyssey Extremes states they are 54 lbs...

That is Batteries Plus. Pretty sure I can get it cheaper with some discounts but I'm going to find out. At least 10% lower with order online and pick up at the store.

I think either one is a great battery (don't know why one is rated 20 amps more, but they sure seem the same). I would buy which ever one I could get the best deal on. Remember: you get an extra year warranty on the X2... And don't forget you'll want to get a charger/maintainer to match...
