Keeping Odyssey PC680 battery charged

- Wed Dec 09, 2009 8:54 pm #160887 I've been starting my hatch once or twice a week and the PC680 has held a charge fine, but it's getting real cold (and snowy) out.

The pc680 is a dry cell battery and I've been told once you let it die completely, the battery (and your $130) is history.

If I started the car one more time and let it charge the battery for like 10 mins, then took the battery out and took it inside until spring, would it die? :?

This is what you need. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DTN-021-0128/

Besides using it for storage, you should install the cord permanently and hook it up overnight once a month or so.
