Alan Reeves Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 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.https://www.pgmsussex.com/product-page/battery-upgrade-kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert green Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Lef Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 It might be good ... but at a price !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pgm Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 Hi SM25TYes 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SM25T Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 It's a good idea ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian B Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Geoff Brown Posted October 26, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted October 26, 2019 As it is a sealed battery surely the spacers could be produced from high density foam ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Reeves Posted October 26, 2019 Author Share Posted October 26, 2019 It is indeed a sealed unit and I am sure you can produce something in high density foam. HoweverI saw this and thought it was and indeed is a nice set up .A Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Vine Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Re #11:As it is a sealed battery surely the spacers could be produced from high density foam ?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.JV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
