RichEdwards Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 My 2007 GT battery is getting weak. Does the Odyssey PC680-P battery fit the '07 GT? Is the Amazon price the best? ($104 inc. shipping). Does the Odyssey require accessory terminals and are they included? Link to comment
Chris K Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Rich, their web site lists the PC680 for that application. I don't know if the accessory terminals are required. Link to comment
Rinkydink Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Buy the accessory terminals...you'll be glad you did! Link to comment
dirtrider Posted November 8, 2011 Share Posted November 8, 2011 Morning Rich As to the fit of the 680 in your GT I can't help you. On the "L" brackets coming with the 680-P battery (maybe) The 680-P I brought through Amazon did come with the "L" terminals (they usually do). BUT, keep in mind that Amazon uses a few different battery vendors so what I got might not be what you will get. Your best bet is to call or E-Mail & ask the specific Amazon vendor you are buying through. Link to comment

Seriously, I usually have so much stuff packed on my bike that the weight of a battery is insignificant. Link to comment

Ah but there is less guilt then that you are over burdening the bike with one more thing or another trip back to the buffet. How was your trip up this way??? NCS Link to comment
RichEdwards Posted November 9, 2011 Author Share Posted November 9, 2011 Just ordered the Odyssey PC680-P from Amazon since the price has dropped to $98. I'll wait to see if it comes with the necessary wiring hardware. I can order that later if necessary. Link to comment

Big weight saving http://www.shoraipower.com/c-1-batteries.aspx http://antigravitybatteries.com/ I am in the country, outside of Mt. Airy rioght now. Headed to Boone tomorrow and will spend tomorrow night at the old Watauga County fairgrounds; then on to the Rebel Yell Rally in the GA hills. I plan on being in Norcross at the Blue Moon Cycle swap meet on Saturday. There is a ride scheduled for Sunday. Are you one of those rare skinny RT owners? I don't meet many of those.

millbert Posted November 11, 2011 Share Posted November 11, 2011 The center of gravity is a little high on the older RT's. I think if you had a lighter battery it would help,that along with low fuel makes the bike a lot better handling around town.Especially if your older and your pillion likes to move around alot. I'll bet the new RT's have a shade lower C of G. Link to comment

I used a couple of pieces of 1/4 inch rubber mat material I had left over from a job. By the way, I had my first ever Odyssey failure within one year--replaced no questions asked under warranty. Just like BMW does. Link to comment
RichEdwards Posted November 11, 2011 Author Share Posted November 11, 2011 My Odyssey battery was delivered today (I love Amazon Prime's two-day 'free' delivery). It came with the connector kit. I'll install it this weekend. Link to comment
Dave39 Posted November 12, 2011 Share Posted November 12, 2011 I just received my Odyssey battery from Amazon. The terminal adapters were included in the box, after I blew $17 bucks with a separate adapter order ($8.00 for shipping a couple little pieces of metal). Link to comment
