Make sure that the terminals are tightened down good along with the brass terminals for the mini battery. I had to retighten the positive terminal when my car was experiencing some shut downs and re-starts while driving! Everything is good now .

I've also been wondering about this. What is the normal life for a mini-battery? I'd hate to be at school (100 miles from home) and can't get my car to start.
I understand that the CCA are similar, but I'm wondering about total life (length wise).

Had a mini battery mine for about a week before I started having starting diffilculty. Sent it back to Buschur and they determined it was a faulty battery, however I didnt want these issues again so I went to a trunk mount. The Odyssey PC680 was the mini battery I had trouble with. Went with a PC1200 instead. No problems since.

I have just recently starting having some issues, mostly my fault. Went out of town for two weeks, came back and the battery was dead. Had it charged up. Then I installed a new Alpine deck and spent some time setting up the levels with key on engine off. I didn't spend too much time doing this, and the next day the battery is dead. I am running the Genesis Enersys.
Are any of you guys running a battery tender? What are some recommendations?
