Interstate mini battery

Has anyone used the interstate battery CYTX-20H-BS?
http://www.interstatebatteries.com/e...%7C%7CRank%7C1
Its 7/16 wider than a pc-680 but its slightly smaller in length and width but it has 310 cca vs the pc-680's 220cca. Im going to go take a look at one as my pc680 isnt doing so hot but was just curious if anyone else had used one before.

The amount of charge it holds is pretty much the same as the PC680 (18 AH vs. 17 AH) so it may not be any better.

Yeah it depends on which part of the battery isn't doing so "hot". If you need more CCA then go with it, try it out. I don't think you need the Reserve Capacity (RC) but if you do then that might be something to look into as well. I don't use interstate so I can't tell you if that is a good battery or not. Good luck.

I think i just killed the pc680 from letting it go dead too many times and storing it without disconnecting it. I picked up one of these interstates today to try out. It fits pretty well with re- vmic

I would go with a Braille Dry Cell Battery myself.

I have it on my 32 and it has close to 435 Cranking amps. Same size if not smaller.

Just wanted to update the thread to say that im very happy with this battery, it has worked great over the last few months. After owning both batteries I would choose this over a pc-680 again for sure.

Not sure why that link isnt working. Just go to:
http://www.interstatebatteries.com/cs_estore/
and search for "CYTX20H BS"
