is anyone running an aftermarket battery on their razor? i have been looking at the odyssey batteries. what other kinds are yall running? looking for stock size battery but high output. thanks
Tell me where to buy werker? (Werker part no.) I need to get one in a few weeks and the oddessy is my best choice so far. "NEVER MIND" found my own answer
I read the negative reviews on our post. But remember one thing, or not powering a 1 ton truck, or powering an 8-900cc motor. And for me its running an amp, light bar and stereo. Plus I have a tender hooked up when its sitting in the garage. Works great for me.
The is no comparison! I highly recommend the Odyssey 925L. It drops right in the 2nd gen battery tray ad the reserve power to accessories is amazing. I just installed one in my RZR4. I am running a Power Bass 1280w amp and a bunch of accessory lighting. I just came back from the RZR Back Rally where the stereo ran at high volume for hours on end for three days. Often times I had the lights on as well, and the rig was shut off. There was a lot of stop and go and it was shut off and restarted many, many times. It never missed a beat. It was good piece of mind to be several miles into the Ozark National Forrest, in the middle of no where and know it was going to start. Well worth the extra expense IMO. Considering what most of us spend on other accessories, its a small price to pay. I paid $163.00 OTD for mine from Battery Outfitters
I don't know aboit putting an Optima in a RZR but I can tell you that I spent $480 on 2 of them for my Powerstoke and within 3 months I had to habe them replaced under warranty. Three months later I made O'Reilly's give me my money back. I then went to sears and bought 2 Diehard Platinum which is an Odyssey battery for sears to sell. They are still running flawlessly.
Optima batteries are no longer made in america, they are now made in Mexico and the quality went way way down. They are living on their name and past reputation. They are junk batteries.

Well the Werker drops straight in too. Like I said, whatever you wanna do with your money is your business. I run four 6.5 speakers, a 10" sub, powerbass amp, 30" dual row light bar and the bettary works great. It's all what u wanna spend. Works great so I'm satisfied.
Well I have to say my odyssey battery is dead and will not recover......lol...But I have to tell you that I installed it in January 09 and I have never had a charger on it. Just now when I went to the barn and uncovered the RZR it was final frozen and dead. I think I have had my moneys worth and am picking up the phone as we speak to order another.
I'm new to the ownership of a RZR, so I have an uneducated question. When you say it will drop right into a "second generation", what years would that include. I have a 2010.
Lastly, could any of you provide info. on a high quality tender to run on the odyssey?
I don't remember how it fits in the 2010's. I bought an aftermarket battery box for it from EMP. You can find a list of approved chargers on odyssey's website. I highly recommend getting one of those to maximize the life of the battery. Battery tenders are not recommended on an odyssey.
Like so many other manufacturers, Odyssey will only "recommend" their own brand and type of accessories, in this case, battery chargers. In actuality, the Battery Tender and Battery Tender Jr. work great on the Odyssey batteries, as would virtually any other automatic, floating-type charger. My RZR has two batteries (Main and Aux), which stay plugged into a Battery Tender Jr. any time I'm not using my RZR. Battery Tender Jr.'s are available from most auto-parts stores and Amazon for a very reasonable price. Just FWIW.........
And the argument continues on the charger issue. This is a very complicated matter, and their are documented arguments on both sides of the aisle. Been there and done that.
A gen 2 RZR is anything late 2008 to 2010. And yes, with almost no trouble, the Od. PC925L will drop right in.
Would I run into any issues using tge normal 925, that's all the local places have up here. I'd assume the wires should reach it'd mot tgat nig a distance.
