I'm trying to install the JMB racing battery kit, which includes the Odyssey PC680 racing battery, as we speak. If anyone has done this and would be willing to call me at 240-485-4413 to help me out that would be awesome right about now. I can't figure out how to set up the positive and netagive terminals. Camera is charging, here is a shitty cell pic if what came with the battery.



I am literally in the garage right now looking at the useless instructions right now. Help!!!

did u get it to fit right?

Looks to me that those round items outside the bag screw into the battery to make your posts.... if that is how you want to hookup.

Yea I got it. Thanks Swordfish and Justin and Jerry and Dante =p The big terminals had allens inside. I couldn't figure out how to tighten them to the battery. Whoops lol.

Crank Call! Crank Call!

yeah... you screw those posts into the spots in the battery.... pretty self explanatory...

when I had my drycell I didn't have those posts. I had to rig it to some large flat washers to make contact with the battery cables... it was pretty ghetto.

Meh, you could always go with GM style cables, so your car is a total PITA to jumpstart.

Yea it was self explanatory, once I figured out I needed an allen wrench lol.

Basically what you have is a GM type battery terminal, with the adapters to use everyone else's battery cables. They sell those adapters in lead to use GM style batteries in other apps. IDK if they are still at Wal-Mart or not. It is hard to tell from the pic if the thread is 5/16-18 tho. They appear smaller.

Those look much sexier.

Is it just a socket (allen) head bolt going through the adapter sleeve/cone?

Am I the only one that found this hilarious?

It's like two comic-bookies at a convention.

Glad we can entertain you!
