PC680 on Ebay is what I am ordering ... get the Extreme Duty AGM. Leave your lights on very long or run a stereo system or accessories that pull a lot of amperage and you'll kill the battery pretty quick from what I hace heard. Mine's for the track ... any lomng trips and I'm, swapping back in the DieHard. A lot of people use the PC680 and are happy with it.

I love my battery. It starts the car every time flawlessly and it cost me a whole $30 give or take. Guess what it is.......
A NAPA GENERIC!
I'm really not trying to be an ***, but all the dam thing does is start the car. It has no function whatsoever after the engine has turned over. As for light weight, I don't know of too many people that use them, but I know the dyna-batts have been around for a while and I cant remember hearing anything bad. Might be a good choice for you. I believe Thunder racing has em.

Actually, battery selection CAN be pretty important. My track car has a high compression 396 and the battery is located in the rear. Those two factors mean that a cheap battery does not cut the mustard. Circumstances had forced me to go to the track once with one back there and it was a little annoying worrying if my car would turn over, or if that cheap battery would embarrass me right in front of everyone in the staging lanes. It barely threw the starter over a couple times.

I have been looking into this for a while. Have you looked at the Braile batteries? I want to shed a few pounds and still retain practicallity for the stereo and lights.
