I would like a lightweight battery for my car. What do you guys run? And where to buy them? Cost?

thanks

Here's the one i use.

it weighs 13.5lbs compared to my old battery of 35 lbs. I don't like relocating the battery to the back and adding 5 lbs of battery cable and box to do it. so i'de just rather lose 22 lb of the car.
Heres a pic installed its REALLY bright outside so its kinda blurry.

I had alot of trouble with a light battery going dead and not having enough umph to turn my motor over. I'm just running a red top up front now.

I daily drive my car and the battery is great. it's only not wanted to start twice on me. But i think thats due to my alternator.

Thanks fellas. SUX2BU, where did you get your hold down? I guess that is the same battery I'll be getting.

I run the PC680 too. I wasn't so sure it would get the job done but, it has worked great. I've only been running it for about 2 months but I havn't had any issues even though I run both underdrive pullies. The PC925 might be a better choice if you really don't want to worry about your battery. It's about 24lbs. I decided to lay mine down, my hold down is just aluminium too.

Both excellent ideas. Thanks fellas.

I`m using a Hawker Genesis or the Odessy I can`t remember which one, but it dosen`t have a red top on it like the picture of the one above. I got it from the gotobatteries web site as well. It saved me 17.5 lbs. (the battery is 13.5 lbs) My car is a daily driver with a underdrive crank pulley and I have had zero problems with mine. I start mine at least twice a day and drive home from work with the lights on and the stock Monsoon system is always playing. I installed it on the car Good Friday (Forgot the date) when I got off work early that day and it has started every time.

I got this one, only 12lbs, I prob saved more than 20lbs on it. Starts fine, no complaints.

any of you guys have experience with the light batteries in the rear? I had to relocate mine to make room for fuel cell and was contemplating this for weight savings, have a red top now.

I've heard that a PC680 will not start a car from the rear. The PC925 will though.

What kind of software do you use that takes 10mins? Holy ****. HPT 27sec and your tune is in! But good question. Might have to look into a new lighter battery, the red tops too damn heavy. Just not sure about putting it in the back, more weight from the cables, and then reduced cranking amps from length of cable business. I know some ppl are doing it just fine, but I use mine daily and dont want any issues like that. How many CCA are those PC680 and 925? I just seen advertised 16amp hrs?

Well my hptuners is on the way, but a friend of mine transfered the my PCM with LS1Edit and it took more than 30 mins.

CAT, here's a list of specs on them. http://www.gotbatteries.com/products...es/Odyssey.asp . When I pulled my Red Top it weighed in at 42 lbs.
