2022 Lightweight battery options? Searched all over the forums and all the talk on lightweight batterys are from 2008 or older. I was thinking about going with one from the brand “braille” I found, but do you guys specifically recommend one that works good with enough Cranking amps and all the right specs. I dont want anything that will catch my car on fire I read on about lithium if you know what i mean. 98 A4 bolt on camaro stock pulley.. thanks
I've had good luck with XS Power AGM batteries. Lighter/smaller than lead acid, handles vibration well, but not lithium light. Takes a regular battery charger, on a tender when not in use. I just replaced the first one I bought which was 6 years ago. I have a D925 in the stock location.

These are what I have on my phone right now. I have an alternator so I don't see why the battery couldn't be used on a daily. XS would be able to give you a more technically sound answer.

I used the braille g-30 in my car last year. IT was pretty awesome for the price and I never ran it dead. Run some 6's in the 1/4 pull back leaving water pump and fans running, jump in the lanes whenever. Never let me down. It pulse cranks quick. Ive had a few and if you dont let them die, throw them on their charger every few weeks or whatever and they are awesome. For 6.5 pounds they probably cant be beat. have had a couple anti gravities and didnt seem to crank as quick so I use them in my atv's.
Ive used the bigger brailles, with 1,100 to 1,500 pulse amps and they are gangster.
Have a friend that uses the xs one in that $450 range and were nice. he fried the first one leaving everything on for a bit and jump started it, they didnt warranty it so dont do that lol

im curious how well these lithiums do in a normal street car application using an alternator
Mine was in a true street car, used mostly on weekends but ran errands, went to eat at restaurants, lots of stopping and starting etc, just buy one, they are expensive but worth it, when this one eventually dies I'll get one just like it
