I've left my car sitting for 4-5 days when I go out of town, factory alarm and even an amp pulling constant juice from it and NEVER had an issue 13v when I get back and fires right up. The other day I was chasing down a bad speaker so I had the doors open (I do have LEDs though) had the music going more than a few times to test things and again the battery never failed me. The big lithiums are much better for a street car than an odessey or deka
I run those Big Cranks in my ATVs and my kids powerwheels. I think I'd step one size up to be safe. Regarding lights, it isnt the battery that runs your car its the alternator more or less. The battery just cranks it.
i went with a 250 cca sealed agm 12 volt shipped charged & ready to install usa manufactured 1 year warranty off ebay for 38 bucks free shipping. i'm reading up & am convinced that all with the same numbers are basically the same battery ... just decide if you want a "name brand" or not for twice as much or more i guess ... not anyone in particular just saying in general that i recommend saving 20, 40 or even 100 bucks & just basically typing in the numbers of the braille, deka or whatever brand you are looking at & you will find a bunch for half price or less. will post results of its capabilities / holding up. -- 9.75 lbs btw.
I wouldn't feel comfortable going anywhere with something that has the low of a capacity/CCA IMO.
This lithium battery is the **** though, it's pushing my sound system like a champ and not skipping a beat, car cranks every time, even sitting in traffic for 10 mins with my music blaring is flawless. Very impressed.

i hear you, but i have no aftermarket stereo, won't run ac when using it & would only be using it for a day or 2 at a time, & i've read enough posts about people using similar ones as daily's so i'm thinking it'll work out.
... actually though, so i can give it a fair review, i will run it for a week or 2 (& will use some ac) at first just to let people know how it performs.
what kind of adapters are you guys using with the agm/powersports batteries? meaning like battery post/terminal adapters? i can ghetto rig it sure, but how are you connecting stock terminals to the smaller hole agm battery posts?
37 bucks free shipping, 10 bucks at batteries plus here in town for gm terminal adapters that adapt directly to the smaller agm terminals ... so far, starts as perfect as my 700cca 33lb battery, drove 26 mile round trip to & from work today, picked up son from school (3 miles each way), drove around town for various errands (probably 10 miles with 3 or 4 stops at stores), & get this ... lights & radio on the whole time just to do so. car sat in garage for a couple hours. just got back from 7-11 to get late night treats with the kids before bedtime for school lol ... zero problems/issues with the battery what so ever. remember this is a 9 pound $37 battery off of ebay. so obviously for the track it would be 100% fine. as for dd status will update in 4 or 5 days.
just an update ... 20+ days later & the battery works perfect/fine & yes car is my dd. cranks up every morning & all day as if my 750cc 35 pounder was in there!
