for anyone else who didn't RTFM the Odyssey dry cell battery is only rated for max temps of 113 degF without a metal jacket and 176 degF with a metal jacket, which makes it unsuitable for the engine bay in general and over the radiator discharge fan location in particular. The required alternator and charger output specs are a bit more stringent than most people are aware of too.

Mark, what are you running these days? The PC680 in my CM car is past its prime (after only 10 months, according to receipt) and I'm looking...what do you know about the Shorai packs?

The one they sell now is a bit less capacity and price (was 56 A/h and $2k msrp vs 50/$1.8k now), but I got a special deal on someone elses cancelled order and didn't pay that much
After all the aggravation I had previously with the Braille and Odyssey batteries I would say it was worth every penny regardless. It is without a doubt the best racing battery I have ever owned
Otherwise no, you don't really spend that much on your car

I am going to try the Toyo's on my car next, I used to run them on my ST civic and my STR Miata and liked them. We will see how they are on the heavy Rx8.
