Default lightweight Battery

Does anyone know what the lightest battery I can get in my car while still being able to do things like keep the radio on with the engine off? I saw one redommendation of the odyssey from my search but was needing more information. I really wanted a lightweight one like the hawker but I don't want to take the fun out of being in my car or worrying about killing the battery all the time.

I had a SVR 14 in my car for a year without a problem, then I put that in a motorcycle and put a SVR 20 in my car, again I have not had any problems for a year.

I play the radio loud for about 2 hours while washing/cleaning my car

Here's the battery I have: http://www.gotbatteries.com/Productp...ctNum=37L105S1

Here's how I mounted it: http://www.mustangmods.com/data/440/battery.jpg
I can go back to a factory style battery in about 10 minutes. I kept the same connecting bolts to battery.

No problem keeping it charged yet. I've had it in about two months.
