Help with Lightweight Battery Parts!!

Today I really struggled in trying to find parts. I want to install a light weight battery around 11.5-12 lbs if I can.

What terminals can I get locally or order. I would like to get a deka or inexpensive one around here.

I know autozone and oreillys are made by east penn.

Any advice suggestions Thanks.

over 100 views, any advice come on?

I need to get the weight off the front.

Where do I get the terminals for a c5, that fit the smaller battery?

I ordered mine, but I got rid of the GM side post crap a long time ago. You need the battery in front of you to see what kind of terminal it has before anyone can help you. We dont know what you have.

If the car is setup for top terminals, no it will bolt right up. If it is side terminals, and you are willing to convert, hack the GM side terminals off your wires, and put on a nice top post like this (just an example)

If you have side terminals and dont want to cut wires you need a side to top post adapter (just an example)
