Braille Batteries are quite small and lightweight
http://www.braillebattery.com/index....teries/b2015/#
I had just recently read somewhere that these batteries are actually made by Deka Batteries and are just repackaged, rebranded, and the price is jacked up. However I couldn't find any similar batteries on the Deka website... anyone else want to speak on that?
Edit: Also heard these aren't great for colder weather so hopefully you don't drive your car year round... This isn't the 2nd Gen section though so I doubt it

I relocated mine to the bin behind the passenger seat. I used a Miata Battery because it fit in there.
I followed this install pretty close to the same. Some minor tweaks here or there. 3rd Generation RX-7 Battery Relocation

I am pretty sure that the battery has 475 cca. It has been doing the job (I did the relocation in 2008 & am still using that same battery). That being said, I think when it's time for a new one I might look around and see if there is a battery that is the same size with some more cca's. But I wouldn't hesitate to buy this one again too.

fuse box was added only if you plan on adding accessories that look for 12V ignition on. Fuse box just makes it safe and easy to plug and play vs hunting and tapping for 12V.
Circuit breaker for safety in case your routed pos cable gets grounded somehow...also makes it easy to cut power vs undoing the neg on the battery.

I use an interstate CYTX-20H-BS battery with my Rotary Extreme V-mount without relocating it. It has 310cca, is a little cheaper than the pc680 and was in stock at my local interstate dealer. Its a must to use a battery tender, install a battery cut off switch or manually disconnect the battery if you plan on not driving the car for several days with a small battery like this. I killed a pc680 in less than a year by frequently letting it sit too long without starting.
