hello people; Just a thought and that is maybe put the bat in the trunk and that way any bat weight would be in a good place and get one of those fake bat for the stock location.

i have a braille lightweight battery for the car with a optima yellowtop for the stereo. the braille is nice and works pretty much the same as a regular battery

hello peoples; I went to that bat. site as mentioned in another post but they have cabon fiber bats. Now that's exotic.

If it is a Sunday driver, why waste money on a lightweight battery. Unless, by Sunday driver, you mean drag racing on weekends.

I have the hawker odessey PC680, sure it saves some wieght, but it doesn't last long with the car off. Do not run your stereo or leave the car door open without the engine running. If I have to work on the car, I stick it on the charger or disconnect it.

What's wrong with a duralast gold? or even walmart brand batt?

daily or drag I see no purpose on getting a lightweight batt, Relocating it that's another thing but I would stick with a batt with a good warrenty.

unless it's a race car where you are trying to get every .01 second off the 1/4 mile time, i wouldn't worry about a lightweight battery. you won't notice the extra 30 pounds you are carrying around, but you will notice that the battery doesn't go dead when you don't start the car for a few days.
