Ken Osborne's racing Sprint battery....

#1 Post by shaunroche »

Trying to find out what type of battery Ken has in his Sprint...if I knew how to get hold of him I'd ask him myself!

It looks like an Odyssey but I'm unsure which one....

Anyone any ideas on either please?
Come and see some pretty shoddy, slow driving of a really well prepared competition Sprint here!

You probably can't see it from the pic, but the first two letters are OD..... which is what makes me think odyssey....

Looks like a "Odyssey PC680" to me

Cheers 2door, that's a good spot!
Funnily enough, I've ordered a PC950 last night so I'm in the right ball park!

in reality i doubt there is any discernible difference between an Odyssey/Varley batteries of similiar size, as long as it can run everything (im putting a Varley 30 in mine) it should be fine :)
