As in 'too small'? This may have been the source of my PC310's very premature failure. I may only be able to get credit towards another Odyssey in this instance - if that's the case do you think that moving up a size (which is a substantial increase over the failed unit) would make a difference? Or would I just be better off hocking it on eBay and trying to get my money back?
What were you running the 310 in? I run a PC680MJT in the mustang and it works great for starting the car at the track, I wouldn't think of using it for every day cranking and running a radio/heater/ac blowers, lights, etc.

you can't compare an Interstate acid battery to a dry cell application like optima, they are different applications. It all depends on which optima you choose to go with the environment, Interstate batts are perfect for day-to-day duties of a regular automobile, optimas are setup for specific situations. I run the interstate in the truck and mazda, optima is for jumpstarting cars and I had it in my old mustang as a second batt for the subwoofer amps, the odyssey is prefect for a track car.
