New Battery

[Alan Reeves]

I have just changed my ' wet ' battery for an Odyssey 535. I have wanted to ditch the wet battery forever but to lazy and did not want the hassle of getting the right size fit.

Well Andy of PGM has come up with a 3D fitment that sorts the problem out. Not the cheapest solution but I am happy.

This looks neater than my bits of painted wood! I’ll call and see if they sell the kit less the battery, which I don’t need. Thanks for posting.

Went with a powervamp (link) and made a ally tray for it.  Bolted it to the spot where the heater used to be.  Hasn't missed a beat in 5 years.

Simples - yes!

It might be good ... but at a price !!

Hi SM25T

Yes you are correct it isn't inexpensive, but having seen some highly dubious even dangerous fitments of batteries over time we thought an upgrade might be useful to a proportion of owners. As I'm sure you can appreciate a considerable amount of time and effort has gone into the design and production.

Kind regards Colin@PGM

It's a good idea !

Ian (SM25T), given the battery that is supplied, and the bespoke housing for it, that isn't a bad price.

It's not a golf cart battery.

I got fed up with Banner batteries years ago and have had the same Powevamp for 7 years now. Like Andy Lef I just bought a sheet of ali, a hinge, a catch and used the Machine Mart folder to make a simple tray.

Spot on Ian....

As it is a sealed battery surely the spacers could be produced from high density foam ?

[Alan Reeves]

It is indeed a sealed unit and I am sure you can produce something in high density foam. However

I saw this and thought it was and indeed is a nice set up .

Re #11:

Indeed, and that's exactly what I did on my old 1.8K SS-R:

The foam was the dense packing material that came in the Odyssey box.  The battery insulation wrap helps to locate it.
