Sear DieHard Platinum group 65 (Odyssey PC-1750)

[troyboy162]

Today I needed a new battery for the truck and last time I was disappointed with the group 34 Optima yellow top I bought. It was a perfectly good battery but was extremely small and not peculiarly powerful , especially for the money. I researched the larger batteries we can fit in the stock location and I found the diehard platinum group 65 to be a good choice. This battery is the same as a Odyssey PC-1750 but sells for about $100 less. At this point popular opinion says that the Optimas are no longer built well and prone to failures. Odyssey batteries are the alternative gel battery and seem to have pretty good reviews.
Specs:
Weight 60 lbs
CCA 930
Reserve capacity 135
Deep cycle (like a yellow top)
$220

It fits pretty well in the spot we have and the stock hold down can be easily modified to work. I do think this will need another means of securing it thought since its so heavy.
