Battery Fit in 83


A83

Recommended Posts

Well, back from Advanced Auto and Auto Zone.  Egg on my face!  Both places confirmed the battery bolt size on the new battery is a metric size M6-1.0 not the 3/8" the person from Battery Web told me.  Plus my existing battery bolt is a 3/8" .  So in the meantime I bought a top to side conversion terminal with a 3/8" thread which will fit the existing bolt.  Advanced Auto had a pair, Auto Zone does not carry them in the store but I think you can order them online.

 End result for now, I will put the Odyssey top post converter on then use the new terminal to reconvert to a side post.  It looks like it all fits pretty well except the washer on the existing cable end which is about 7/8" across is slightly larger then the bolt and of the conversion terminal which I hope is not a problem. Wouldn't have gone through this if the battery did fit so well.  Once done will take it to a mechanic to get it looked at because I have to take the car in to get some other stuff checked out anyways. 

Thanks for all your help and thanks for listening to all my posts.  Hope I can help you all someday.

Regards

Kevin A83

See my corrections regarding the sizes.  I goofed up.  Will try to see if I can link up some pictures and links.  Have to figure that out.  Wife should know.  

Thanks Wayne you have been a great help.  I did get The terminal adapter you linked in earlier post.

Okay here are the photos with the new battery - fits very nicely in the space - now I will configure a way to learn lock it down.  Thanks again to everyone you were a big help help.
