After reading some of the forum posts on Batteries, has anyone fitted either the Odyssey PC680 or the Ultima Red top to their 924 without having to make any modifications to their battery tray height ?

I already have a Bosh Bdin 53L and a SCA 53l both are 500CCA,
looking at the OPTIMA RedTops which are between 720 and 800 CCA here in Brisbane
Just need to be able to fit it in height wise

This is an apple and orange scenario. One being a regular heavy beast (red top) and one being a nice lightweight but strong option with the PC680
I ran the PC680 for years in a BMW330Ci and it was an awesome battery. It also nice because it can mounted in various ways.
I will be testing a smaller Braille battery in the 80NA.
Edit: Here are some pics. The braille is just sitting in the battery tray area of the 80NA for system testing while I build a carrier for it. The other pic is the PC680 next to a stock BMW battery. It is something like 35 pounds or so in weight savings and the Braille is 5lbs lighter, I think, but even less amp hours. So if you hang in parking lots booming your sound system these two are NOT for you.
