best mini battery?

any experiences on this? looking for one to fit in the storage bin. got a hawker odyssey (sp?) with my m2 kit, poor grounding killed it i believe -i'm getting 14.x volts when the car is running but left on its own it drops to 6 and can't even run the fans at the proper speed after shut down.

so any suggestions? optima? hawker?
thanks!

ok i should have searched, i'm a bad forum member!

but! that linked thread didn't really discuss what people thought about different batteries. the ntech thing is for their BMK, with what looks like an odyssey battery. i've already done the relocation, just lookin for a new battery. and i got a "An error occured please restart shopping" at the ultimate batteries website, they only have odyssey anyway. thanks for the ideas though!

what about these optima redtops?
http://www.dcbattery.com/optima_red.html

they all look like they'd fit. any experience?
*search in progress*

*search complete*
best thread related to subject:
https://www.rx7club.com/forum/showth...ery+relocation

Result? Probably optima red top.
Optima Red Top 850/6, Top Post
Dim: 10x3.5x8
CCA at 32F: 1050
Reserve: 2hours
At Carparts.com for ~$120.


also, www.summitracing.com has all kinds of great stuff if you're relocating your battery.
