lupogtiboy Posted December 5, 2016 Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 Factory battery is a 61Ah/330A Not sure on upgraded batteries as its something I've never looked into, but lighter has got to be better, right? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRC Posted December 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2016 we are talking about GTI? because i found other info: Voltage 12 Volts Technology Wet Capacity (C20) 80 Ah Capacity (C100) 89 Ah CCA (SAE) 780 A Length 278 mm Width 175 mm Height inc. terms 190 mm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lupogtiboy Posted December 6, 2016 Report Share Posted December 6, 2016 Yep! I work as a parts advisor for a main dealer so have access to ETKA and ELSA and checked my chassis number on both, they are the specs for mine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRC Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 thanks a lot. looking to buy such one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Odyssey-Extreme-Racing-40-PC1100-Battery-Race-Oval-Rally-Motorsport-Dry-Cell-/301355867028?hash=item462a359b94:g:ZhgAAOSw2XFUfQ6x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 I run a 30AH Odyssey in the rally car, works perfectly well. So imagine that a 30-40 one would be perfectly fine for yours too. Presume you've no radio etc.... Then again I also don't have the heater system as I know you do... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again I also don't have the heater system as I know you do... i have the radio, the heater is still there. sometimes i use the camera to film.. No A/C though... so i shall try bigger? how is it yours? the fitting? any pics, please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cj1 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 If there isn't one on the build thread I'll have to take one and upload it later... but mine is in original mounting under the bonnet... It may be fine! Although mine doesn't power much... Light bar, full beams, GoPro, map light, these were all on at once with no issues.... I'd try the 40, would expect it to be fine. Still find it odd you have the radio, then again I think I'd enjoy it for a bit of start line motivation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WRC Posted December 7, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 thanks ! my battery is in the rear so it will fit the stock battery location? because i found this solution: https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/aluminium-mounting-bracket-for-odyssey-40-obp0078 i have a beta radio for...cruising to and from race track and mountain rides...very nice feeling. its worth...those 800grams Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
