Jose,

     I have the Odyssey 680 and I  understand it does not require a battery box.  This may be the case of  your PC625.  Just fabricate a tray and securing method for the battery  to sit on.

Jose-

You might try the battery box that Aircraft Spruce sells for the 680,  

and shim it to fit your 625.

Lynn:



680 is longer than 625 (7.27" vs 6.70"), but is narrower (3.11" vs 3.90").  Have you seen a box modified before?  Seems like it will be too narrow for the 6257



Thanks!



José

Jose,



I bent a piece of SS into a "J" shape that cradles the battery and slotted 

top and bottom for nylon strapping with velcro as a fastener.  Adel clamps 

fasten it to the framework.  If the battery doesn't need a box to conatain 

possible seepage of electrolyte, a simple fixture like this will work.  The 

Lancair guy did this on his, mounting two 12 v. batteries side-by-side in 

series for his 24v. system, but he was comfortable with aluminum for the 

tray.

Sorry, Jose, but I have not seen the box modified. I just assumed  

that the 625, being smaller, would fit with shimming. Because the box  

that I have (Spruce's box for the 680) is a 3-sided box...both sides,  

and a front...with flanges for mounting against the firewall, I would  

think that you could place shims under the flanges when bolting to  

the firewall (or whatever you are mounting to. As far as length is  

concerned, the extra space...the .570" difference in length...could  

be taken up with balsa wood or some other light-weight shim.

The box that I got from Spruce is powder-coated black, aluminum, has  

the aforementioned 3 surfaces, flanges for mounting, and has a lip at  

the top that prevents the battery from sliding up, and for the life  

of me, I can't recall if there is a full bottom, or if that is also  

just a lip. But the top is readily accessible, and fits the 680 like  

a glove. I don't know why they (Spruce) don't show the 625 battery or  

a box to fit.

But I'm sure the 680 box could be easily modified to fit.
